Renee Zellweger’s Case 39, which has been the subject of intense scrutiny and a raftload of rumors in its own right, has apparently, finally, managed to land a release date. Specifically, this will be busting out on New Years Day 2010, likely so the studio could buy off a critic or two into calling this “The most suspenseful title of 2010″ or “the scariest movie this year”.
Although, to be fair, New Years Day IS on a Friday this year so it likely would’ve ended up that way anyway, but it does seem pretty clear that the studio doesn’t have a whole lot of faith in this one. Paramount’s the one releasing this one, and considering how often this one’s played musical release dates I can see why they’d choose to bury it in the deep dark ice-lined hole that is January.
I’m hopeful, however, that this one isn’t as bad as its scheduling suggests it will be, and have some hope that it’ll at least be watchable. But then, I’m weird that way.

Renee Zellweger has signed up to reprise her role as a British publishing executive struggling to find love for the third 
installment of the Bridget Jones series, bloody brilliant!
Oh fuckwit! There’s no title yet. The third film is still in its early stages and most likely will go into production at the end of next year.
Predicting the premise of the third Bridget Jones Diary is an easy guess because based on the weekly columns author Helen Fielding wrote in 2005 for British newspaper the Independent in which Bridget, now in her 40s, attempts to have a baby before it’s too late, humph!

When she is offered a temporary assignment – in the middle of nowhere – to restructure a manufacturing plant, she jumps at the opportunity, knowing that a big promotion is close at hand. What begins as a straight forward job assignment becomes a life changing experience as Lucy discovers greater meaning in her life and most unexpectedly, the man of her dreams (Harry Connick, Jr.).
