HOLLYWOOD, Calif., June 29, 2016 (Gephardt Daily) — Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth are back in the third film in the Bridget Jones franchise, “Bridget Jones’s Baby.”
The new film is directed by Sharon Maguire, who directed the first film, “Bridget Jones’s Diary” and finds Bridget unexpectedly expecting.
After breaking up with Mark Darcy, Bridget Jones’s “happily ever after” hasn’t quite gone according to plan. Forty something and single again, she decides to focus on her job as top news producer and surround herself with old friends and new. For once, Bridget has everything completely under control.
What could possibly go wrong?
Then her love life takes a turn and Bridget meets a dashing American named Jack, played by Patrick Dempsey, the suitor who is everything Mr. Darcy is not. In an unlikely twist she finds herself pregnant, but with one hitch…she can only be fifty percent sure of the identity of her baby’s father.
The much-anticipated third installment of the Bridget Jones’s franchise welcomes fellow Academy Award® winner Emma Thompson to the cast. Longtime collaborators Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner of Working Title Films produce alongside Debra Hayward.
