it looks like renee zellweger will be hitting up plenty of fast food chains in the coming months. the petite actress will be taking on the character that made her a movie star once again in a third bridget jones film. no official word from working title, the production center for the films, has been had, but rumblings are that a script is currently being drafted in hopes to start production in about a years time. this will allow renee to pack on the lb's that make her character the lovable pudgy reporter lovable once more and for sure to be script redrafts and contract negotiations for the franchise's three stars - zellweger, colin firth, and hugh grant. the first two films were inspired by and adapted from helen fielding's books of the same names - bridget jones' diary and bridget jones: the edge of reason - but the third flick will be compiled from a series of columns fielding wrote overseas about bridget's quest to have a baby before her biological clock runs out of time. it's been 5 years since edge of reason hit theaters, meaning - at the least - it will be 7 years between reason's release and the untitled third film's release. are you ready to see renee zellweger bigger than life again on the big screen? while the film is sure to be successful, i still don't understand why renee has to get soooo big for the role; in the book, the character is maybe 15 pounds overweight, not 25 or more like in the second film. but oh well. if you haven't seen the first two films, the trailers are posted above for your viewing uhrmm...pleasure?

I always wondered about her weight, too. They didn't need to make her a total fatso.
