More big pants for Bridget

REEL NEWS: Unwanted sequel news

REEL NEWS:Unwanted sequel news. Rumours of a third Bridget Jones film have been circulating for ages, but Entertainment Weeklyhas now (sort of) confirmed that the project is ready to go before the cameras.

Colin Firth, still Darcy, recently revealed that the plot sees Jones getting tempted once again (does she never learn?) by the oily charms of Hugh Grant's Daniel Cleaver.

"I can tell you that Bridget and Mark can't have children – I think that's the way it goes on," he mused. "So then she makes the huge mistake of going back to Daniel Cleaver for long enough to get pregnant."
