First Bridget Jones's Baby Photo Shows Renee Zellweger Cuddling an iPad.


Working Title has released a first look at Renée Zellweger’s triumphant return to her most beloved role in Bridget Jones’s Baby, the third film based on Helen Fielding’s bestselling book series.

Working Title will produce the film, which sees Renee Zellweger reprising the title role along with Colin Firth as love interest Mark Darcy and Patrick Dempsey taking on a new role in Jones’s life. Zellweger and Firth previously appeared in both of the preceding films, Bridget Jones’s Diary in 2001 and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason in 2003. Combined, the two films have grossed over $540 million at the global box office.

Sharon Maguire, who directed the original Bridget Jones’s Diary in 2001, will return to direct the feature film from a script she co-wrote with David Nicholls (One Day). Plot details are being kept under wraps, but as you have probably guessed, Bridget Jones will indeed have a baby in the third film of the series. The question remains, however, if the father of the child will be Firth’s Darcy, Dempsey’s new character, or perhaps a third party. Hugh Grant, who appeared in the previous two films, will not reprise his role for “Baby.”

Though no release date has been set, Universal will distribute Bridget Jones’s Baby.

'Bridget Jones's Baby' director explains why Renee Zellweger is skinny this time



Anyone who saw the first two Bridget Jones movies and read the addictive books by Helen Fielding knows the title character is meant to be squidgy, not skinny.

But in Bridget Jones's Baby (out Sept. 16, 2016), star Renee Zellweger is decidedly un-fluffy and in fact looks almost as slender as she did in 2002's Chicago. Yet rest assured. . . that's by design and reflects where the character of Bridget, now 43 and still single, is in her life.

"We all really loved the notion that Bridget, 15 years on, had finally reached her ideal weight ... somewhere between a UK size 10 or 12 ... but still hadn't solved any of her issues about love and loneliness," director Sharon Maguire says in an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly. "I think that one of the reasons the first film worked was not just because of the comedy but because people identified with Bridget's fear of loneliness. It's a universal fear. It's still a prominent theme in the character's journey even in the third film, and an integral point of access for the audience to empathize with Bridget."

Zellweger's size has always been scrutinized in the movies. During production of Bridget Jones's Diary back in 2001, Zellweger was deemed too skinny (and, um, too American) to play the title role. In the 2004 sequel Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, she was then criticized for gaining too much weight.
