"Bridget Jones is back and better than ever!" - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Oct. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Renée Zellweger (Jerry Maguire, Chicago) reprises her Oscar®-nominated role as the lovable Bridget Jones, who now finds herself with one little bump and one big question in the delightfully endearing and witty Bridget Jones's Baby, arriving on Blu-rayTM and DVD December 13, 2016 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Hailed as "Outrageously Funny!" (Dave Morales, Fox TV), the third installment in the Bridget Jones series follows forty-something Bridget as she embraces a new decade in her life, confronts her past with a charismatic old love, and finds new romance using her signature quirk and humor. Chock full of funny and feel-good moments, Bridget Jones's Baby features nearly forty minutes of hysterical and nostalgic bonus features on the Blu-ray™ and DVD including a gag-reel, alternate ending, deleted scenes and more!
Oscar® winners Renée Zellweger and Colin Firth (Love Actually, The King's Speech) are joined by Patrick Dempsey (TV's Grey's Anatomy, Made of Honor) for the much-anticipated next chapter of the world's favorite singleton. Forty-something and single again after breaking up with Mark Darcy (Firth), Bridget decides to focus on her job and surround herself with old friends and new. But her love life takes a turn when she meets a dashing American named Jack (Dempsey), the suitor who is everything Mr. Darcy is not. In an unlikely twist, Bridget finds herself pregnant, but with one hitch…she can only be fifty percent sure of the identity of her baby's father.
Bridget Jones's Diary director Sharon Maguire returns to direct Bridget Jones's Baby with a screenplay by Bridget Jones creator Helen Fielding, Emma Thompson (Love Actually, Burnt) and Dan Mazer (Bruno, I Give it a Year). Bridget Jones's Diary veterans Gemma Jones (Shanghai Knights, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2) returns as Bridget's unabashed Mum along with Oscar® winner Jim Broadbent (Eddie the Eagle, Moulin Rouge!) as her good-natured dad. Sarah Solemani ("The Five," The Bad Education Movie) joins the cast along with Thompson and many original Bridget Jones's Diary members to round out the all-star cast. Bring home Bridget Jones's Baby this holiday season and enjoy the beloved character that has Peter Travers of Rolling Stone exclaiming "Bridget Jones is back and better than ever!"
