#FIRSTLOOK: “BRIDGET JONES’S BABY” ON ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

I cannot deny that seeing Bridget Jones’s Diary for the first time back in 2001 was a life-changing moment. It sparked within me an inspiration and honesty that would change me for good. In fact, I can say that a good reason why I began blogging is that I one day would create a chronicle of my own life which I could share with the world that would both change and inspire others like Bridget Jones did to me.

Entertainment Weekly today posted the cover of their latest issue today, a first look at the third installment of the franchise, Bridget Jones’s Baby with new addition Patrick Dempsey, Renée Zellweger and Colin Firth tightly-bunched. I was overjoyed and it is a bit surreal knowing that the Film is a thing and happening September 2016.

Every time I see a September release date a hope within me is awakened that a Film might get a premiere here at TIFF. Let’s hope for the best…

All we know about this latest installment is that a still-single Bridget is expecting a baby and unsure who the father is…

See the Cover:

In the issue, which features interviews with the Film’s three stars, Zellweger says “It feels like stepping back with an old friend. I love this character, I like that she tells stories about what it’s like to be a woman and these really relatable situations at certain times in life. It’s so right to tell a story about Bridget in this stage of her life.”.
