Bridget Jones Diary 3|urban family" of friends

Bridget Jones is a franchise based on the fictional character with the same name. English writer Helen Fielding started her Bridget Jones's Diary column in The Independent in 1995, chronicling the life of Bridget Jones as a thirtysomething single woman in London as she tries to make sense of life and love with the help of a surrogate "urban family" of friends in the 1990s
Break out the bunny ears and granny panties. Rumors that Renee Zellweger would turn the pages on third Bridget Jones’ Diary are coming to fruition, with EW confirming that Working Title Films was moving ahead on the sequel it had been batting around since 2009.
Rumors began circulating in 2009 that Zellweger would return to her role, this time as a woman in her 40s who’s trying to have a baby, that pregnancy arc would make sense since that’s the idea behind author Helen Fielding’s upcoming third Diary novel, although exact details about her newest work of fiction have not been fully revealed at this time.
The first film, "Bridget Jone's Diary," hit theaters in 2001 and grossed $281 million internationally, while the 2004 sequel, "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason" earned $262, according to the trade magazine. Zellweger reportedly gained up to 20 pounds to play the role both times.

In March, Helen Fielding, who wrote the "Bridget Jones" novels which inspired the films, said she had begun working on a third book.
It’s been reported that Helen Felding is indeed working on a third book in the series as well as on the screenplay. Though she adds, ” 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.”
Bridesmaids director Paul Feig was previously being considered to helm the third Bridget Jones's Diary, with the 48-year-old reportedly being "beyond keen" to film a movie in London.

Renee Zellweger agreed to return to the role of Bridget Jones for a third film in March, apparently provided that she does not have to gain any weight.
Offering his take on the story, Firth who plays Mark Darcy told EW last year, "I can tell you that Bridget and Mark can't have children, I think that's the way it goes on. So then she makes the huge mistake of going back to Daniel Cleaver [Grant's character] 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?"
