Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Teri Polo and Blythe Danner are all expected to return for "Little Fockers," the latest sequel to the popular "Meet the Parents" comedy. Here are the latest news:
IGN recently caught up with screenwriter John Hamburg, and the writer/director said he's currently rewriting a script by Larry Stuckey. He also had this to say about the plot of the follow-up to "Meet the Fockers":
"We're catching up with these characters five years later and Pam and Greg have twins so they are dealing with that. And people are dealing with where there at in their lives, and themes of death and divorce and all these real things that as we get older, we start to think about, but in a really comic way."
Hamburg also told IGN that Owen Wilson will have a bigger role in the film. As for Jay Roach,

Charlie Sheen as a science fiction protagonist: it works. In fact, in The Arrival Sheen, with a few extra pounds, looks strikingly like Half-Life's Gordon Freeman. Typically, science fiction films are the causes of their own undoing. Bad scripts, bad acting, worthless plots and implausible leaps of logic make every scene worthy of a head shake - that's just the typical curse of science fiction. Even the greats like Star Wars, Star Trek and Close Encounters of the Third Kind have their share of unfortunate moments - The Arrival is no different.
Zane Zaminsky (Charlie Sheen) spends his days and nights listening for communications from beyond the stars. One night, he and his partner (Richard Schiff) have a breakthrough: an undulating signal comes through and they manage to tape the tail end. Unfortunately, as is all too common in UFOlogy, the proof

Ben Stiller and Teri Polo will be having different sexes of twins in "Little Fockers". A casting call for the sequel to 2004 comedy "Meet the Fockers" gives out that the filmmakers are looking for 6-year-old boy and girl to play 5-year-old twins, Henry and Ashley.
Beside noting that a set of boy and girl is needed, the casting call also uncovers details on each of the characters. While Henry is described to be a kind and little oversensitive boy who likes to sing and dance, his twin sister Ashley is said to be a tomboy who can be a little bit of a bully, but loves her twin brother.
The casting call further noted that Henry "has a pet lizard who he loves, and likes to imitate", "gets along by withdrawing from conflict with other kids", and "likes to play solo on the schoolyard". On the other hand, Ashley "likes finding out things,

Could Universal Pictures possibly have found a director for its upcoming sequel "Little Fockers"? Maybe.
According to Variety, Paul Weitz is currently in talks to direct the third installment in the popular series, which will already head into prodcution in July.
Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Teri Polo and Blythe Danner are expected to star in the sequel to "Meet the Parents" and "Meet the Fockers." John Hamburg recently rewrote an original script by Larry Stuckey.
Peter Segal, whose credits include "Get Smart," "The Longest Yard" and "50 First Dates," has been rumored to direct the film for a while, but I guess Weitz is now the front-runner.
Jay Roach, who helmed the first two films, will not return to direct because he's currently focusing on "Dinner for Schmucks" instead.
Weitz's credits include "American Dreamz," "In Good Company" and "About a Boy." He most recently directed "Cirque du Freak,

Paul Weitz (American Pie) is in talks to direct "Little Fockers," the third installment of the Universal Pictures' "Meet the Parents" franchise. Jane Rosenthal and Jay Roach are producing, and the studio will begin production in July. John Hamburg is rewriting a script originated by Larry Stuckey. Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Teri Polo and Blythe Danner are so far set to reprise. Studio has been looking hard for the right director to replace Roach, who helmed "Meet the Parents" and "Meet the Fockers," films that turned in a combined worldwide gross just north of $820 million. It briefly appeared that Pete Segal (Get Smart) would get the job. Dealmaking is about to begin with Weitz, whose plan is to move directly from "Fockers" into directing "Another Bullsh*t Night in Suck City," an adaptation of the Nick Flynn book that Weitz scripted. Focus Features has picked up the project,

Paul Weitz is in talks to helm the Universal Pictures' comedy "Little Fockers," the third installment following the hits "Meet the Parents" and "Meet the Fockers." Jay Roach helmed the first two films and the distributor was in search of a new helmer. It appeared that Pete Segal may have helmed this one. The story focuses on the arrival of the first bouncing baby Focker, eagerly anticipated by both the laid back Focker family as well as the more serious Byrnes group. Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Owen Willson, Teri Polo and Blythe Danner have already signed on. Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand have not been cast yet. John Hamburg, writer of the recent successful opener "I Love You, Man," pens the screenplay alongside newbie Larry Stuckey. Weitz directed 2002's "About a Boy" starring Hugh Grant, 2004's Dennis Quaid starrer "In Good Company" and 2006's critically acclaimed "American Dreamz

"American Pie" co-director Paul Weitz is in negotiations to helm the second sequel of Ben Stiller's "Meet the Parents."
"Little Fockers" is the third installment of the Universal Pictures and Tribeca Productions franchise.
The studios have been looking for a director to replace Jay Roach, who helmed the first film and its sequel "Meet the Fockers." It has just been reported two weeks earlier that Pete Segal ("Get Smart") is being considered for the project.
In casting news, despite earlier reports that Barbra Streisand and Dustin Hoffman are going to reprise their roles as Stiller's parents in the forthcoming film, only Stiller, Robert De Niro, Owen Wilson, Teri Polo and Blythe Danner are confirmed to return. It may be that their involvement is still on the negotiation table, though in the meantime, there's no word if they will be set to appear.

Paul Weitz, director of such films as American Pie and About a Boy, is now expected to direct the third film in the Focker comedy franchise, Little Fockers for Universal Pictures reports Variety. Production is expected to begin in July with John Hamburg (I Love You, Man) rewriting a script originated by Larry Stuckey. Already lined up to return are Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Teri Polo and Blythe Danner in a film that is expected to revolve around the children of Greg and Pam Focker (Stiller and Polo). I would not be surprised if news soon hit that Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand would also return as Greg's parents Bernie and Rozalin Focker, but that is just speculation on my part for now. I have only seen Meet the Parents and have no interest in seeing the sequel or this film for that matter, but the combined

As his brother Chris takes the helm on the second part of a massive franchise with The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Paul Weitz must have been left twiddling his thumbs, thinking of a way to keep up. And it turns out that the third installment of the $820 million grossing Meet The Parents series might be just the ticket, as he negotiates a deal to bring Gaylord and Pam a baby in Little Fockers. All the original stars - Robert De Niro (having realised Righteous Kill wasn't so right after all), Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Teri Polo and Blythe Danner - are signed on to take part, although whether Dustin Hoffman and Barbara Streisand will join them is yet to be announced. Weitz takes over from Pete Segal, and will go from this into his own passion project, the adaptation of Nick Flynn's Another Bullshit Night In Suck City, which is

For those of you scoring at home - or even if you're alone - Chris Weitz is the brother directing New Moon, and Paul Weitz, apparently, is the brother directing Little Fockers.
Variety has the update on the Fockers threequel, and it's a reversal from reports a couple of weeks ago that Peter Segal (Get Smart) was the director on Universal's radar. We don't know why the change has been made or why the other Weitz brother has moved to the front of a very busy line, but it is believed that Weitz is going to begin his negotiations soon.
The film has been rumored for a couple of years, and when John Hamburg signed on to write the third film (he wrote the previous two and wrote and directed I Love You, Man), the rest of the pieces started falling into place. Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Owen Wilson,

Last month word broke that Peter Segal, director Steve Carell’s Get Smart, was in talks to helm Little Fockers, the second sequel to Ben Stiller’s Meet the Parents. Now, according to the trades, another director is eyeing the project. Paul Weitz, who previously helmed American Pie, Down to Earth and About a Boy, is being considered for the Fockers gig. Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Teri Polo and Blythe Danner are set to reprise their roles. Jane Rosenthal and Jay Roach, who directed the first two Parents flicks, are producing, and the studio will begin production in July. John Hamburg (I Love You, Man) is rewriting a script originated by Larry Stuckey, which follows The Focker and the Byrnes families as they brace themselves for the arrival of a baby.

The third installment in the juggernaut franchise that began with Meet The Parents may have found its director. Paul Weitz is in talks to direct Little Fockers, the highly anticipated follow-up to Meet The Fockers. Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Teri Polo and Blythe Danner are all set to reprise their original roles in the film, which we can only assume will see Stiller and his movie-wife Polo have kids.

Friedman, who cited no sources, said that Blythe Danner, Robert DeNiro, Dustin Hoffman, Teri Polo, Ben Stiller, Barbra Streisand, and Owen Wilson had all been lined up to play their original roles. However, Peter Segal is expected to replace Jay Roach, who is working on another film, as director. Friedman observed: "The title suggests more than one baby for Stiller and Polo's characters. So get ready possibly for twins, which also means DeNiro and Hoffman may have extra screen time as warring grandfathers."

Peter Segal, director of the Adam Sandler comedies Anger Management, 50 First Dates and The Longest Yard as well as last summer’s Get Smart, is in talks to helm Little Fockers, the second sequel to Ben Stiller’s Meet the Parents. John Hamburg (I Love You, Man) penned the screenplay. Parents featured Stiller as Greg Focker as he meets the parents (De Niro and Blythe Danner) of his girlfriend (Teri Polo) for the first time. The sequel, Meet the Fockers, brought in Fockers’ parents (Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand) and the third installment will revolve around the children of Stiller and Polo’s characters. Everyone is expected to return as is Owen Wilson – who had a supporting role in the first two films.

The family of Fockers is coming back in full force in The Little Fockers, the upcoming second sequel to the hit comedy Meet the Parents, according to Entertainment Weekly. Comments made by John Hamburg, the screenwriter of the new film, suggest that all of the original cast will be returning.
"Everyone will be back," Hamburg is quoted as saying. "I can guarantee there will be more children and that conflict will ensue between De Niro and Stiller. Oh yeah, that's some scoop. Hot off the press!"
Meet the Parents was released in 2000. It starred Ben Stiller, Teri Polo, Robert De Niro, Blythe Danner and Owen Wilson and was directed by Jay Roach. Roach followed it up in 2004 with Meet the Fockers, which also starred Dustin Hoffman and Barbara Streisand. The Little Fockers will focus on the children of Stiller and Polo’s characters.

The first (hopefully) annual Paranoia Film Festival on the illustrious Queen Mary has come and gone, so of course people have been wondering which film won the Best Feature award.
We recently got word from the winner himself, Michael Stokes, that the entry he wrote and directed, The Beacon, took top honors for the weekend. Strange that we haven't heard much about this film, but that seems about to change thanks to the kudos handed out during Paranoia Fest. The Beacon’s leading lady, Teri Polo (pictured below), was also honored, winning the award for Best Actress.
A bit of plot has been provided by the filmmakers as follows: While trying to get their lives back on track after the loss of their four-year-old son, Bryn (Polo) and Paul Shaw (David Rees Snell) move to the charming old Beacon Apartments. Bryn begins seeing a ghostly little boy skulking around the building.
