Because we're not scientists, we don't know if it's that the adventures of Ben Stiller's Gaylord Focker are so compelling that the world of cinema would implode if we didn't find out what happened after meeting his weird family, or the fact that Meet The Parents and Meet The Fockers grossed over $800 million worldwide, but a third movie in the series is now very much underway.
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 De Niro, Ben Stiller, Terri Polo and Blythe Danner, but also Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand.
