Colin Firth: Making Bridget Jones 3 will be like a 'fraught family reunion'
Singletons already suffering the autumn blues can breathe a sigh of relief - Colin Firth has confirmed the script for Bridget Jones 3 has been written.
Renee Zellweger is set to return to screens at Bridget Jones (Picture: PA Photo/UIP Laurie Sparham)The actor, who plays Bridget's soppy suitor Mark Darcy, said: 'There's a script.
'This character has obviously inhabited part of my life, I'm always interested to see where it's taken, and it does look as if it's going somewhere interesting.'
He'll be joined by original cast members Renee Zellweger, who plays the calorie counting Brit, and Hugh Grant, as his caddish love rival Daniel Cleaver.
The film will be a welcome opportunity to see what clumsy journalist and wine lover Bridget Jones has been up since the previous film in the series, The Edge Of Reason, back in 2004.
Fans will be keen to find out what happened after Bridget caught a bouquet at her parents' wedding vow renewal ceremony and Mark popped the question.

While it seems like heavy going onscreen, Colin is sure there will be plenty of fun to be had when the cameras aren't rolling.
He joked: 'It does become a bit of a family at the time, it'll be like one of those rather fraught family reunions at Christmas.'
Asked if he would wear Mark's famous Christmas jumper, made famous in the first Bridget Jones' Diary film, to the 'reunion', he said: 'I wouldn't wear anything else.'
