According to Variety, "Paul Weitz is in talks to direct 'Little Fockers,' the third installment of the Universal Pictures and Tribeca Prods. 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."
According to one of my earlier posts, Pete Segal looked like he was going to get the director's chair for "Little Fockers." I guess things fell through on that deal.
Weitz, director of the classic teen comedy "American Pie," can add a fresh new perspective to this franchise that it definitely needs after lying dead for several years.
More news to come! Catch ya' later!
