by

After reading about the upcoming Bridget Jones movie, I can’t help but feel like I’ve been reunited with an old friend. As someone who grew up watching Bridget navigate her love life and career in London, I can’t wait to see how she’s doing six years later.

In a fresh turn of events, Bridget Jones makes her return with another captivating tale! After an eight-year hiatus since the third film, Renee Zellweger once again steps into the beloved role she played. This time around, the story is inspired by Helen Fielding’s novel “Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy,” promising plenty of new adventures in the fourth installment.

In a lively manner, Renee Zellweger expressed her enthusiasm for portraying her role, stating, “I’m thrilled to wear those shoes.” Furthermore, she gleefully shared that the character of Jones had her in fits of laughter. “Each day on set is an enjoyable experiment,” the actress declared, “and it’s simply fun!”

Fans have adored the initial three films, and the announcement of the fourth one has made it even sweeter. Now, let’s delve deeper into the upcoming movie.

Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy—What we know so far

Over the past three films, I’ve chronicled my life’s ups and downs through my personal diary as Bridget Jones. In the latest chapter of her story, we find Bridget juggling motherhood with her two children, a role she’s embraced since her husband’s passing. As a devoted single mom, I often question whether I’ll be ready to venture back into the dating world again.

The film centers on whether Jones returns and if she’ll embark on a new romantic journey. As for the character, Renee expressed excitement about delving into the next phase of Jones’s life, following a five-year break. Six years have passed since then, but she’s thrilled to reprise her role. She even shared some set photos on social media, captioning them, ‘Mama Jones is back and ready for action!’

In the 2002 film, Bridget finds herself caught between two men: the charming Daniel Cleaver, portrayed by Hugh Grant, and the sincere Mark Darcy, who eventually becomes her husband, played by Colin Firth.

In the 2004 movie, Bridget Jones is enjoying a fulfilling life with Darcy, but her contentment is shattered when she thinks Mark might be growing too friendly with an intern. Faced with ambiguous situations, Bridget ends her relationship with Darcy and travels to Thailand for a job interview. There, she encounters Daniel Cleaver once more – her ex-boss. Events spiral, causing turmoil in Bridget’s life again.

In the 2016 film Bridget Jones’s Baby, we find Bridget living her life, not particularly content when she discovers she’s pregnant after breaking up with Mark. She later encounters a charming American named Jack Quant. Everything seems to be going well between them, but the question remains: Whose child is she carrying? Is it Darcy’s or Jack’s?

As a longtime fan of romantic movies and British literature adaptations, I can confidently say that the upcoming Bridget Jones film is a highly anticipated event for me. Having grown up reading Helen Fielding’s books and watching the original films, I have a deep connection to the story and characters, particularly Mark Darcy and Bridget Jones. So, when Renée Zellweger shared a behind-the-scenes photo with Colin Firth as they reprise their roles for the sequel, it felt like a nostalgic moment that brought me right back to my teenage years. I can’t wait to see what this movie has in store and how these two talented actors bring Bridget Jones’s Diary to life once again.

Who will be seen in Bridget Jones 4?

Besides Renee Zellweger, Hugh Grant will once again play Daniel Cleaver in the upcoming film. Initially, Grant had vowed not to star in romantic comedies again, but he has changed his mind and agreed to return for this project. He expressed his excitement about rejoining the Bridget Jones series, stating that with a strong script, he was delighted to be involved. He referred to the movie as both “funny” and “moving.”

As a devoted fan, I’m excited to share that beyond the familiar duo, we will once again see Emma Thompson as Dr. Rawlings. New additions to the series include Chiwetel Ejiofor and Leo Woodall, Isla Fisher, Josette Simon, Nico Parker, and Leila Farzad.

In this production, James Callis, Sarah Solemani, Sally Phillips, and Shirley Henderson are portrayed as being among Jones’s close companions. Gemma Jones and Jim Broadbent reprise their roles as Jones’s beloved parents.

After a long time away, Renee Zellweger will be back on the silver screen, once more embodying her legendary character in the much-awaited movie titled Bridget Jones 4. The public is buzzing with anticipation to discover what happens next in Bridget’s story. This fourth version of the film is adapted from the last book by Helen Fielding, making it all the more thrilling.

The movie is scheduled for a worldwide release on February 14, 2025.
