Third and final *All Stars* film planned for 2027

The third and final *All Stars* film is planned for production in 2027, with its makers asking fans to share memories and enthusiasm to help make the project easier to finance.

Producer Rolf Koot and director Jean van de Velde say the film, titled *Small Stars*, will move between the present day and 1984, when the characters were teenagers. They hope the original cast will return for the scenes set in the present.

The script, written by Thomas van der Ree and Joost Reijmers, is complete. Koot and Van de Velde have been working on the project for several years. They launched a website for fan responses on Tuesday, after it opened over the weekend and drew hundreds of positive reactions, according to Nieuws.nl.

The original *All Stars* football comedy was released in 1997 and was followed by a film sequel and a television series. Koot and Van de Velde later made two seasons of *All Stars & Zonen*, about the former footballers as parents.
