Third 'Bridget Jones' in works at Working Title (VAR)
By Nancy Tartaglione
Working Title is developing a third installment in the "Bridget Jones" series with Renee Zellweger reprising her starring role. The untitled film probably won't go into production until the end of next year, according to Variety, and will likely be based on the weekly columns author Helen Fielding wrote in 2005 for the Independent about Bridget trying to have a baby in her 40s.
Working Title chiefs Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan have yet to set a writer or director.
Meanwhile, Working Title has also attached Cate Blanchett to star in Joe Wright's "Indian Summer." She will play Lady Edwina Mountbatten in the film based on the book by Alex von Tunzelmann about the last days of Britain's colonial rule of India in 1947.
