DateWednesday, June 10, 2009 at 6:26PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Teri Polo and Blythe Danner are all expected to return for "Little Fockers," the latest sequel to the popular "Meet the Parents" comedy. Here are the latest news:

IGN recently caught up with screenwriter John Hamburg, and the writer/director said he's currently rewriting a script by Larry Stuckey. He also had this to say about the plot of the follow-up to "Meet the Fockers":

"We're catching up with these characters five years later and Pam and Greg have twins so they are dealing with that. And people are dealing with where there at in their lives, and themes of death and divorce and all these real things that as we get older, we start to think about, but in a really comic way."

Hamburg also told IGN that Owen Wilson will have a bigger role in the film. As for Jay Roach, who helmed the first two films, he will not return to direct because he's currently focusing on "Dinner for Schmucks" instead.

By the way, Hamburg also pointed out that he's thinking about doing a sequel to the recent comedy "I Love You, Man." Read more here.

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

DateSaturday, April 4, 2009 at 9:44PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

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.
