Bridget Jones has finished smoking her 7 daily cigarettes, her 15 scratchcards and pressing 1471 ten times - the film is finally finished. Writer Richard Curtis said "It's been a long process but it is finally over... the discussions, the rewrites, the postproduction." He is excited about the finished product and said "We are all very pleased with the final cut, it's everything we hoped it would turn out to be." But there's bad news for fans of George Clooney, who have heard the rumours that he was to appear in a dream sequence. Curtis explained "I'm sorry for everyone hoping to catch a glimpse of George Clooney in a dreamy haze but that was never going to happen. He is a hunk, but we have our very own hunks in the film. Both Colin and Hugh are ample match." So how did the rumour get started? "I don't know where that story came from but we never intended to put Ren through that disappointment. George was never approached - that whole dream thing was just a dream, dreamt up by some outsider." However, there might be hope for the future, as Curtis added "But then maybe it will happen in Bridget Jones 2! No, we have no intention of doing a follow up - at least not yet!"
