Big Momma's House 3 Gets A Director

Sometimes a movie franchise has earned a third film, and even if they squander the opportunity-- Spider-Man 3, X-Men 3, and, uh, most threequels out there-- you can't resent the fact that the movies exist. But some movies should never, ever have had a sequel, and when the idea comes up to make a third film four years after the sequel, you can only feel the quiet despair taking over your body.
In this case I'm talking about Big Momma's House 3, which Production Weekly reports is in fact happening, and will be directed by Big Momma's House 2 director John Whitesell. Whitesell's never made a single movie I've been interested in, whether it's that earlier Martin Lawrence sequel or the Jamie Kennedy classic Malibu's Most Wanted. So I guess it would be OK to just let him carry on and cash his paycheck, if the whole idea of this franchise continuing didn't make me grind my teeth. Why can't someone greenlight This Honky Grandma Be Trippin' instead?
