Are you a fan of the film franchise Bridget Jones’s Diary? I am. I love the films. I own both of them and I watch the movies all the time when I see them on television. I love how quirky Bridget Jones is.
A few months ago I learned that there was going to be a third film in the film’s franchise. I was a bit surprised to hear that since the last film was so many years ago and I assumed Bridget and Mark got married. I guess I was wrong.
The new film, Bridget Jones’s Baby, comes to theaters on September 16, 2016.
Oscar® winners Renée Zellweger and Colin Firth are joined by Patrick Dempsey for the next chapter of the world’s favorite singleton in Bridget Jones’s Baby. Directed by Sharon Maguire (Bridget Jones’s Diary), the new film in the beloved comedy series based on creator Helen Fielding’s heroine finds Bridget unexpectedly expecting.
After breaking up with Mark Darcy (Firth), Bridget Jones’s (Zellweger) “happily ever after” hasn’t quite gone according to plan. Fortysomething and single again, she decides to focus on her job as top news producer and surround herself with old friends and new. For once, Bridget has everything completely under control. What could possibly go wrong?
Then her love life takes a turn and Bridget meets a dashing American named Jack (Dempsey), the suitor who is everything Mr. Darcy is not. In an unlikely twist she finds herself pregnant, but with one hitch…she can only be fifty percent sure of the identity of her baby’s father.
The much-anticipated third installment of the Bridget Jones’s franchise welcomes fellow Academy Award® winner Emma Thompson to the cast. Longtime collaborators Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner of Working Title Films produce alongside Debra Hayward. Universal Pictures will distribute Bridget Jones’s Baby in North America and select international territories.
Oh no! I hope it’s Mark’s baby. I always wanted to see those two end up together.
I heard that there are different endings for the film. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but it would be interesting to see all the alternative endings.
Check out the film’s trailer.
What do you think? Who might be the father of Bridget’s baby? I guess we have to wait until September to find out.
Be sure to check out the film on social media. The official hashtag is #BridgetJonesBaby.
