A Fourth 'Bridget Jones' Movie May Be on the Way - One Character Likely Won't Be Returning
Bridget Jones fans may soon be in luck.
Helen Fielding, who wrote Bridget Jones’s Diary and The Edge of Reason, is working on turning her third book in the series, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, into a movie, she confirmed in a new interview.
The first two books became the 2001 hit movie and 2004 follow-up, while her column for The Independent served as inspiration for 2016′s Bridget Jones’s Baby.
“Yes I’m working on it and I really hope it will happen. Every film that gets made is a miracle – it’s really difficult to make films happen and to make them good. But I’d love to see it on the screen,” she told Radio Times.
Renée Zellweger starred in all three of the movies, while Colin Firth reprised his role as Mark Darcy in each film. Hugh Grant‘s Daniel Cleaver was presumed dead in the third movie until the end of the film, when he was revealed to still be alive.
One character sadly likely won’t be in the fourth movie…
