EW has confirmed exclusively that Working Title Films, the production company responsible for the first movie released in 2001 and the second one dubbed "The Edge of Reason" in 2004, is moving ahead with a third installment. Based at Universal, Working Title has been mulling a sequel since 2009.
No other details were available, but last year, Bridget costar Colin Firth, who plays lovable Mark Darcy, told EW's Dave Karger some details about a possible plot.
"I can tell you that Bridget and Mark can't have children, I think that's the way it goes on," Firth told Karger, who was reporting for Access Hollywood. "So then she makes the huge mistake of going back to Daniel Cleaver [Hugh 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?"
The movies are based on Helen Fielding's novel of the same name and starred Renee Zellweger as Bridget. The first film was an international hit, taking in a reported $281 million. The second was crucified by the critics but still raked in $262 million worldwide.
Earlier this year, the London Evening Standard reported that Fielding had begun writing the third installment of the best-selling books. At the time, she said there had been discussions about the next film. "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."
