The titles are tacky and the movies raunchy but the "Eating Out" franchise has so far been surprisingly funny, boasted hot and talented casts, and had a little bit of heart. I have learned EXCLUSIVELY (I've been itching to say that) that yes, there will be an "Eating Out 3."
"I never would have imagined it," Q Allan Brocka, who directed the first movie and wrote and produced both films, told me last week. (What am I doing holding an EXCLUSIVE for an entire week?)
"It will be next year. Nothing is official yet with who's coming back and who's not and we're going to base the story on who we can get and who's available," he said. "We just know we're doing it, we don't know more than that."

The first two films featured "American Idol" season one finalist Jim Verarros as well as the very funny actresses Rebeka Kochan and Emily Stiles (now known as Emily Brooke Hands). Ryan Carnres, who starred in the first film before his role as Andrew Van de Kamp's lover on "Desperate Housewives." He declined the sequel and was replaced by Brett Chuckerman.
Each film also have this in common: a hunky straight guy pretending to be gay in order to get a girl.In the firsat film it was Scott Lunsford and the second, Marco Dapper. Producer Michael Shoal tells me it's not crucial that the same leads return since "We always bring new meat to the market. The first two films were a success in their own way. One of the nice things about doing another sequel is that it can be completely different but just as intriguing, just as sexy, just as completely out there and just as politically incorrect. It's the type of film that nobody else would make but us."
After the jump, check out some sexy stills from the first two "Eating Out" films and if you have not seen either one, you can get an idea of why they have been so successful...
