According to Yahoo Movies, George Clooney is attached to star in Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason opposite Renee Zellweger. In Helen Fielding's book, Bridget is sent to interview actor Colin Firth - a man she has lusted after ever since his appearance in Pride and Prejudice, but since Firth played Bridget's boyfriend Mark Darcy in the first film and is set to reprise his role in the sequel, this leaves the scriptwriters with a little problem.

The solution was to find another heart-throb actor to play the object of Bridget's desire and Clooney is the ideal choice. "We're hoping to substitute George Clooney for Colin Firth because we want Colin to play Darcy again. I've written four drafts and the latest version is with Renee Zellweger. We are just waiting for her reaction," says Davies.
