When it was confirmed back in August that bawdy Brit Bridget Jones would grace the silver screen for a third time, little else was known about the long-gestating project, including whether Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth and Hugh Grant would reprise their starring roles. So when we caught up with Colin recently at the junket for his upcoming "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," we had to ask for an are talking to ['Full Monty' director] Peter Cattaneo," Colin said, referring to the director's chair left vacant by "Bridesmaids" helmer Paul Feig, who drafted a version of the script before pulling out of the project.
As to whether he's excited by the prospect of a third film, Colin's response was tradeMark Darcy. "I could be," he said with a sheepish grin. "I'm reconciled to the inevitability. Yeah, I think they'll do a good job."

Of course, a lot has changed for the lead actors since 2004's "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason," and no one is more aware of that fact than the series' author, Helen Fielding.

"It's hard to pull these things together," she told us in May while celebrating the 15th anniversary of her first Bridget Jones's novel. "There are so many people involved. I think they are sort of moving towards it now. It's definitely taking shape now, and it would be so much fun if they all came back and did it. You know, Colin has won an Oscar now. No pressure or anything."

It's been rumored the third installment will likely focus on Bridget's attempt at motherhood (a similar plotline to Helen's in-progress third novel).
