February 13, 2004 — Renee Zellweger has mused aloud about doing a third "Bridget Jones" movie...

Actress Renee Zellweger has hinted she may be prepared to pile on the pounds again and play Bridget Jones in a third movie. The star, still busy filming the first sequel, The Edge Of Reason, hasn't ruled out the possibility of starring as the English singleton again - even though author Helen Fielding has yet to pen a third novel. She teases, "I don't know actually. A month ago, when I was desperately homesick, I would have said no. It's a good question though. When I was thinking about Edge Of Reason, I considered three things: Can it stand on its own as a movie? Is it a story worth telling? Does it need to be made?" And she has her own ideas about how Fielding could develop the character of Bridget: "Maybe Bridget could emerge as a character, like Lucille Ball's Lucy. Whether Lucy was living in a high rise in New York or a ranch house, I wanted to see what she was doing. I wanted to watch her and maybe there's some Bridget in there."
