Robert DeNiro, Ben Stiller and the rest of the family are coming back for another installment  in Meet The Parents/Fockers   franchise. This one’s  titled ‘The Little Fockers’ and it will bring back John Hamburg who wrote the previous two films. There is a new addition to the “family”, Peter  Segal will be directing instead of Jay Roach. Segal became available when scheduling fell through on Get Smart  . We will have to see what a new visionary will bring to the third installment in Universal’s biggest “cash cow”. Meet the Parents/Fockers  has netted over $800 million worldwide.  Film is in pre-production and has no release date as of yet.

‘Little Fockers’ is Getting Fast-Tracked

Universal is pushing ‘Little Fockers’ into production as soon as possible with an eye on production beginning as early as summer or fall.

John Hamburg, who wrote the first two films and directed ‘Along Came Polly’ and the upcoming ‘I Love You, Man’, is back on screenwriting duties.   The story, as the title suggests, revolves around the happy couple (Ben Stiller and Teri Polo) having to deal with parenthood.

However, the film will be getting a new director.   Jay Roach, who helmed the first two installments of the ‘Focker’ franchise, won’t be returning for the third installment.   Some names that are being bandied about to replace Roach are Paul Weitz (‘In Good Company’), David Wain (‘Role Models’), and Peyton Reed (‘Yes Man’).

Stiller, Robert DeNiro, and Owen Wilson are all in negotiations to reprise their respective roles.   No word on Dustin Hoffman, Barbra Streisand, or Blythe Danner, but I’m sure they will be on board soon enough.

‘Meet the Parents’ made $330 million worldwide and ‘Meet the Fockers’ made $516 million worldwide.   The fact that it has taken this long to get ‘Little Fockers’ in production is shocking.

Are you ready for ‘Meet the Fockers 3’

It looks like a third installment of the ‘Meet the Parents/Fockers’ is back for round three. In the natural scheme of things the plot looks to be Robert DeNiro and Blythe Danner would return as grandparents to Ben Stiller and Teri Polo’s babies. Of course, Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand would have to return as well to play Stiller’s crazy parents. For right now no other plot lines have surfaced up yet but  I sure that will change. I guess we will all have to wait is more details arise on what is sure to be a laugh out loud comedy with even more funny inapporaite material than the first two.
