A third Bridget Jones film is on the way to cinemas after producers promised Renée Zellweger she would not have to pile on the pounds to play the hapless singleton.Zellweger is said to have been unhappy at the amount of weight she had to gain for previous instalments Bridget Jones's Diary, and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, both of which also starred Hugh Grant and newly crowned best actor Oscar-winner Colin Firth. The new film would sidestep the issue by introducing a proud, svelte Bridget in the opening scenes.
A source told the tabloid: "Renée had no reservations about saying yes once she found out she wouldn't have to get fat. She hated having to do that in the last two films."
The newspaper reports that the plot for the third film could hinge on a pregnancy love triangle, with Bridget unaware which of her diametrically opposed rival suitors is the father.
Both Grant and Firth are said to be keen to reprise their roles. Firth told the BBC last month: "I don't really want to be part of a perpetual franchise but we're all getting so old! I think the idea of Mark and Daniel and Bridget in advanced stages of deterioration could be quite fun. We're making a comedy after all."
Loved the first film
OMG this is gonna be a DISASTUH!

so all my interests is lost unless she ends up with Darcy
okay then I have no interest in seeing this movie if it's about that.

She looks so gross with how skinny she is now.
She looked cute and adorable and like someone you'd actually want to hop into bed with, someone you'd have a good time with. Leagues better than what she's become - I literally shiver and cringe when I see how thin she is. :-/
And call it daft, but I reckon she'd have more roles if she hadn't lost so much of the weight.
Blargg I think that makes sense, I just woke up :/
plus you looked better with that weight on than you do now.
GURL Mr. Darcy shoulda left yo ass 5 years ago... ridiculous
Bring it! I want it now.
Firth plus Grant, equals YES in any movie.
I want Firth and Grant to team up outside of a BJ setting.
She always looks like she lives on lemon pledge.
