Ready to pile pounds on her weight if needed, Renee Zellweger has been reported to have already shown an interest in returning as Bridget Jones for the third installment of the hit franchise.

The movie will be based on Helen Fielding's third novel which is currently in works and is set to be developed under Working Title banner following its successful attempt to secure the rights to the book.

A source said as quoted by Post Chronicle that the flick "will leap forward 10 years" and that "Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleaver are still on the scene and Bridget is about to give birth to Daniel's baby."
