“Little Fockers” in the Works – Finally

meet_the_fockers Looks like “Little Fockers” is finally in a go mode. The third installment of the Focker series – including “Meet the Parents” and “Meet the Fockers” – is gaining steam at Universal.

John Hamburg has been brought in to write the screenplay (Larry Stuckey penned an earlier draft). He’s a longtime Ben Stiller collaborator who worked on “Meet the Parents,” “Meet the Fockers,” and “Along Came Polly.” He also wrote and directed “I Love You, Man,” due out next month.

Jay Roach, who directed the first two Focker flicks, will NOT direct this one. No word on his replacement, but Paul Weitz (“About a Boy”), David Wain (“Role Models”), and Peyton Reed (“Yes Man”) are all in the running.

Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, and Owen Wilson are all in talks to star in “Little Fockers.” The story will revolve around the kid(s) of Stiller and his wife, played by Teri Polo – though no word on whether she’s returning. I’m guessing yes.

You know what? I liked the first movie, but the second one, not so much. They could have ended the franchise there, as far as I’m concerned.
