Third Bridget Jones Film in the Works
Renee Zellweger has reportedly consented to star in a third Bridget Jones film – though producers have guaranteed they won’t make her packing the pounds this time.
Renee Zellweger was said to have had a kind of hesitations about signing up to a third film as she was unwilling to gain weight. According to The Sun, the film will recognize the new designed Bridget, by featuring her in the opening scenes after getting her ideal body shape.
Both, man from heaven Colin Firth and Hugh Grant – also known as Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleaver – are set to reprise their parts, with a source saying:
Colin is really keen on a third film. He thinks it will be a great flick to get his teeth into after all the success with The King’s Speech, as it’s so different. He’s getting very excited about the idea of marriage and kids in the script now all the characters are older.
Firth spoke to BBC prior to being Oscar Winner:
I think the idea of Mark and Daniel and Bridget in advanced stages of deterioration could be quite fun. We’re making a comedy after all.
With plot ideas still being open to discussion, the scribes are said to be setting up a big twist between the three main characters, which includes Bridget getting pregnant but is not sure whether long-term boyfriend Mark is the father or ex-flame Daniel.
Did You Hear About The Morgans? Review
In Did You Hear About the Morgans?, Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker are supposed to pass for a married couple, but they have all the chemistry of two actors who just met and shook hands moments before the cameras rolled. They don’t even seem to like each other much — I’m fairly certain I saw Parker’s nostrils flaring in one scene — which poses a bit of a problem for a movie that hinges on their characters working out their differences and living happily ever after…read more [Miami Herald]
This is a familiar set-up, used in hundreds of movies to best isolate the comedic potential of the standard fish-out-of-water scenario, but Lawrence doesn’t play the lead characters as bumbling nitwits forced to learn hayseed lessons. No, Paul and Meryl are the liberal, elitist surrogates for the audience. They know things about nutrition and animal cruelty, about style and substance the yokels fail to comprehend. I supposed it’s a harmless film overall, yet “Morgans” straddles that fine line between farce and character assassination. It’s one thing to sit stone-faced watching Lawrence blunder his every single attempt at humor, but the great state of Wyoming doesn’t deserve such a slight, even if it serves a larger portrait of broad comedy. Lawrence never has the Morgans embracing their country education beyond a superficial level of communication (at one point Lawrence gives Meryl and Clay a bizarre scene that compares a man’s sensitivity to a cow’s teat), keeping them at a loathsome level of superiority for the duration of the picture…read more [Brian Orndorf, Dark Horizons]
“Did You Hear About the Morgans?” Posters, Trailers and Photos
Here’s the new poster, two trailers and photos for Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker’s new movie, “Did You Hear About the Morgans?”
A bickering New York couple on the verge of divorce attempt to salvage their marriage after witnessing a murder and being relocated to Wyoming under the Witness Protection Plan. Meryl and Paul Morgan (Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant) have all the money a couple could want — it’s love they’re running short on. Upon witnessing a contract killing and being targeted by the triggerman, the couple find themselves at the mercy of the feds, who hastily send them packing for an extended stay in the Rockies. Could a peaceful life away from the city be just the thing to bring Meryl and Paul back together, or will the deafening silence of nature only serve to amplify the bickering couple’s painful peccadillos and drive them further apart than ever before?
Hugh Grant Exits “Lost For Words”
Hugh Grant has quit Working Title’s new romantic comedy “Lost For Words.”
Grant left the project, which he agreed to star in last summer, over “creative differences.”
A spokeswoman for Grant said: “This was a case of creative differences. They were not able to get a script everyone agreed on but it’s our understanding that Working Title is moving ahead with the project and Hugh wishes them well.”
Hugh Grant would have portrayed a British actor who stars in a movie for a Chinese director (Ziyi Zhang). After romancing a translator, he eventually falls for the director.
