Exciting news for fans of the beloved rom-com series, Bridget Jones is making her way back to the big screen! It's been almost a decade since we last saw our favorite British singleton, but the wait is finally over as details for the fourth film have been "confirmed."
For those who may need a refresher, Bridget Jones first graced our screens in 2001 with the hit movie Bridget Jones' Diary. The film, based on Helen Fielding's 1996 novel of the same name, is a modern retelling of Jane Austen's classic novel Pride and Prejudice. It follows the story of Bridget, a 32-year-old single woman who documents her daily life and romantic pursuits in her diary.
The first film was a huge success and spawned two sequels, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and Bridget Jones's Baby. The second film saw Bridget's relationship progress with one of her love interests, but it was the third film that really shook things up. Bridget discovers she's unexpectedly pregnant and must figure out the identity of the father, setting the stage for a rollercoaster ride of emotions.
But now, we have even more good news as the original stars Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth, and Hugh Grant are all set to reprise their iconic roles as Bridget, Mark Darcy, and Daniel Cleaver. The fourth film is already in pre-production and is set to start filming in London this coming May.
According to reports, Renée is even looking for a place to live in London while working on the project. "Bridget is back and about to take over London," a source revealed. "Filming is already being mapped out and everything is falling into place." The original film was released in 2001, and since then, there has been some uncertainty about a fourth film, but now it's finally happening.
Fans can expect Bridget Jones fever to sweep across London this spring as the beloved character returns to our screens. The last film ended with Bridget marrying Mark, and it was revealed that he was the father of her baby. Hugh's character was presumed dead in the film, but in a surprise twist, he was revealed to be alive by the end.
It's been two years since the last film, and rumors of a fourth installment have been circulating since then. Author Helen Fielding even confirmed that she was working on an adaptation of her 2013 novel Mad About the Boy, which takes place four years after the death of Mark Darcy and sees Bridget navigating the challenges of being a single parent and re-entering the dating world in her fifties.
While we wait for the highly anticipated fourth film, let's not forget the incredible success of the original movie, grossing £222 million at the box office. And for those wondering about Renée's most recent projects, she starred in the 2019 biopic of Judy Garland.
We couldn't be more excited for the return of Bridget Jones, and we can't wait to see what romantic adventures and mishaps she'll encounter this time around. We've reached out to representatives for Renée, Colin, and Hugh for comment and will keep you updated on any new developments. Stay tuned for more updates and let the Bridget Jones fever begin!
