With her latest Bridget Jones novel, Mad About The Boy, released in the midst of a social media uproar due to a certain leaked spoiler (we really, really don’t want to talk about it) and a reported 46 000 sales on the first day alone, Helen Fielding has said that she would like to see Bridget’s alcohol, cigarette and chocolate infused misadventures continue on in a third film as well.
“I mean I would like it. I would like to see it be a film,” Fielding said in an interview with friend Carrie Fisher (of Star Wars fame) at Writers Guild Theater in Beverly Hills, The Independent reported.
The classic Bridget Jones’ Diary, with Renee Zellweger playing the somewhat eccentric 30-something singleton Bridget, Hugh Grant as the dastardly charming scoundrel Daniel Cleaver, and Colin Firth as the brooding, disagreeable acquaintance Bridget can’t help but be attracted to (despite a rather horrible Christmas sweater) was released in 2001, with the sequel, The Edge of Reason, released in 2004.
Despite it’s strong book sales, however, there have been no production companies looking to buy the rights to Mad About The Boy as of yet, according to The Independent.
