It’s the movie we’ve all been waiting for. After 12 years of singing, ‘All by myself’ alone with a glass of wine in a pair of big pants we can now find out how Bridget deals with the rollercoaster that is her life as she enters her 40s.
Directed by Sharon Maguire, the first of the Bridget Jones trilogy graced our screens back in 2001. We were introduced to Bridget as an accident-prone, average woman struggling with her self-image, work, and lack of love life. It’s a story many women can relate to, which was made a huge success and led to the sequel in 2004.
Nothing seems to have changed for Bridget, (Renée Zellweger) set 10 years on, broken up with Mark Darcy (Colin Firth,) but has landed herself a cool new job as a TV executive and got a hot new lover, Jack Qwant (Patrick Dempsey.) But obviously it’s Bridget Jones, nothing can go smoothly. Bridget, now 43 find’s herself pregnant, but who’s the dad? She has no idea.
With THREE different endings filmed, the cast are also kept in the dark as to who the father is, until they see the film for the first time at the premiere.
From what we can tell by the already hilarious trailer, this third installment is definitely not going to let us down. With cameos from singer Ed Sheeran and actress Emma Thompson, Bridget Jones’s Baby is going to be full of laughter, tears and a lot of drama. We can’t wait!
