According to Variety the adventures of The Fockers are about to continue, as a new movie is very much underway. The well known adventures of Ben Stiller’s Gaylord Focker grossed over $800 million worldwide, with “Meet the Parents” and “Meet the Fockers”. Universal has extended a development deal with Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal’s Tribeca Pictures by a further two years in order to develop the third Fockers movie, tentatively titled “Little Fockers”. Jay Roach is currently working on a third story, with Larry Stuckey, set to write the script. Stuckey, a former assistant of Roach, has worked with Roach on several scripts including a remake of “Elling” for Fox.
The hope is that the film will bring back not only famous actors like Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Terri Polo and Blythe Danner, but also Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand.
