Fock Me.
Thu, February 19, 2009 
When your sequel makes $280 million, another one is inevitable - even if it takes five years to get going.
Hollywood Reporter (via their Risky Biz Blog) confirms that work is under-way for Little Fockers - the third film in the insanely-profitable series following 2000's Meet the Parents and 2004's Meet the Fockers.
Ben Stiller, Robero De Niro and Owen Wilson are currently hammering out deals to return and Universal has turned to writer/director of the forthcoming comedy I Love You, Man John Hamburg for rewrite duties.
Meanwhile, the studio is also searching for a new director as Jay Roache (who helmed the first two films) will take a step back and serve as a producer.
Among the rumored candidates (which is said to include Yes Man's Peyton Reed and In Good Company helmer Paul Weitz), my money's on David Wain who just delivered a sizeable hit in the form of last Fall's Role Models for Universal.
Like I said, it was a matter of time before another one of these films got going. I guess this means I'll be dragged to the multi-plex to sit through this when it comes out. Kill me...
