oh yeah, it’s on. finally! renee zellweger is set to reprise her role as bridget jones in the popular movie series, variety reports. as the second installment left quite an open door for the third, it was only a matter of time until bridget was back at it again.

the untitled ‘bridget jones’ flick is still in its early stages. production most likely won’t begin until 2010 – which gives renee plenty of time to beef up on cupcakes & pasta! as you may recall, zellwegger plays an unlucky in love and hysterically clumsy british publishing exec. we last saw bridget finally land her man – the beautiful colin firth – and become confident in their future together.

the movies thus far have been based off of the weekly newspaper columns author helen fielding wrote back in 2005. fielding’s final bridget column centered around the lovely lady, now in her 40s, trying to have a baby before it’s too late. sounds like we’re in for a treat!
