Helen Fielding keen for more Bridget movies

Helen Fielding would love to see all the Bridget Jones cast back together for another movie but only if the script is good enough.

The British novelist-and-screenwriter enjoyed vast success with her novels Bridget Jones's Diary and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, which were adapted into hit movies in 2001 and 2004 respectively.

There has been talk of a third movie and book for some time now, with production company Working Title buying the rights, and Renée Zellweger – who played the title character in the first two films – expressing her desire to reprise the part. Colin Firth is also eager to star in the third film with his role as Bridget’s love interest Mark Darcy. Helen thinks it would be great to have the original cast back, although she is keen to make sure the script isn’t a let-down.

"These are all very delicate areas... which I really mustn't talk about," she replied when E! Online asked if Renée should reprise her role.

"But I think all the actors playing the parts in the movies were fantastic and it would be wonderful if they would again. But they've all done very well and they don't need to do another film, so it would have to be a really good script for them to want to do it."

Helen also took the time to discuss a stage musical version of the Bridget Jones tale, which she has been working on with British singer Lily Allen. She praised Lily’s songwriting capabilities, explaining the musical will be an enjoyable spectacle.

"We have done one workshop," she added. "It takes a long time for a musical. But it's fun and joyful, and I think with Lily's songs it's a perfect marriage."
