Blow the dust off the diary, Bridget is back.
The company behind the Bridget Jones movie series, Working Title Films, has confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that they are going ahead with a third instalment.
The first film was an international hit in 2001, taking more than $281 million worldwide at the box office and garnering an Oscar nomination for Renee Zelwegger in the title role. The second in 2004 was a critical failure but still garnered more than $262 million worldwide.

Since that time both Zelwegger and co-star Colin Firth have won Oscars, yet both, along with the unholy member of the trio Hugh Grant are expected to return.

Firth, who played the Amnesty-helping nice guy Mark Darcy in Bridget Jones’s Diary and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason provided a few details of the potential plot, after Darcy and Jones were left set to be wed at the end of the second film.
“I can tell you that Bridget and Mark can’t have children, I think that’s the way it goes on,” Firth told Access Hollywood. “So then she makes the usual mistake of going back to Daniel Cleaver 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?”
While the first two movies were based on already written Helen Fielding novels, there is no third novel in existence, yet. Fielding has told the London Evening Standard “I will be working on both the book and the film but I don’t know if they are the same thing yet. It’s not been decided.”
