It has been almost seven years since we last saw Bridget Jones, and Working Title Films is looking to change that.
That's right. Working Title Films and Universal have been pondering a second sequel to the 2001 hit starring Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth and Hugh Grant. The film has been pondered over since early 2009 and it looks like they have finally struck a deal to move forward.
The original film hauled in an impressive $281 million internationally while the first sequel, though based by critics, still mustered a little more than $262 million. Both films preformed better overseas than here in the states, but seeing as how the character of Bridget Jones is from abroad, it was to be expected.
Though no plot lines have been released, Colin Firth told a reporter for 'Access Hollywood' some details about a possible plot. "I can tell you that Bridget and Mark can't have children, I think that's the way it goes on. So then she makes the huge mistake of going back to Daniel Clever [Hugh Grant's character] for long enough to get pregnant. And I think he dumps her, and she's left stranded, and guess who comes back to rescue her?"
For those who will recall, Zellweger had to put on a hefty amount of weight to portray the 'plump' Jones. It should be interesting to see her transformation as filming gets closer.
