Dern to Join “Little Fockers”

Laura Dern has been announced as the latest actor to sign on to the third film in the popular “Meet the Parents,” series.  She will be playing the headmistress at the school the Focker children attend.  Dern is joining returning cast members Ben Stiller, Robert DeNiro, Blythe Danner, Owen Wilson and Teri Polo.  Jessica Alba has also signed on for a unspecified role.  If I wasn’t excited about the second ‘Focker,’ movie, I’m somehow less excited about a third.

Reportedly, the “Little Fockers,” title, (which has been bandied about for the third film,) isn’t set in stone and may change.

Seriously?  Two great actors and this is what we get?  Years and years of waiting and this is all there is to show?  As disappointing as Jon Avnet’s “Righteous Kill,” is, it’s only truly disappointing when you consider the parties involved. [Read more...]

DeNiro, Stiller & Wilson Sign On For More “Fockers”

Robert DeNiro, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson have all signed on for the third film in the popular “Fockers” films.  This new film was originally going to be called “Meet the Little Fockers,” but Universal decided it was too much of a mouthful, so it’s been shortened to simply, “Little Fockers.”

The storyline involves Stiller and his wife, (played by Teri Polo in the first two films and, reportedly, she is close to signing for number three,) having a baby and then Stiller’s wife’s father, (played by Robert DeNiro,) becomes suspicious of his intentions.  Halarity sure to ensue.

I am not a huge fan of this film series, but, seeing as the first two made $800 million, I guess it’s not too big a surprise that a third film got green-lit.
