Paul Weitz to direct Universal's 'Little Fockers'?

Could Universal Pictures possibly have found a director for its upcoming sequel "Little Fockers"? Maybe.

According to Variety, Paul Weitz is currently in talks to direct the third installment in the popular series, which will already head into prodcution in July.

Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Teri Polo and Blythe Danner are expected to star in the sequel to "Meet the Parents" and "Meet the Fockers." John Hamburg recently rewrote an original script by Larry Stuckey.

Peter Segal, whose credits include "Get Smart," "The Longest Yard" and "50 First Dates," has been rumored to direct the film for a while, but I guess Weitz is now the front-runner.

Jay Roach, who helmed the first two films, will not return to direct because he's currently focusing on "Dinner for Schmucks" instead.

Weitz's credits include "American Dreamz," "In Good Company" and "About a Boy." He most recently directed "Cirque du Freak," which is set to open in 2010.
