Things aren’t going as swimmingly as they should be on the third installment of the Meet the Parents franchise, ‘Little Fockers’ according to website Deadline. They tell us that a week of ‘pickups’ (shots that were missed in the initial filming process) are required to complete the movie and also that Dustin Hoffman has been convinced to re-join the movie in which they will shoot four full scenes.
The notoriously difficult actor was written out of the Meet The Parents threequel altogether when Universal couldn’t reach a deal with him. But John Hamburg and Jay Roach helped convince Dustin to reprise his role which is “not dissimilar to what we were pitching him in the beginning,” an insider tells me. Hoffman won’t come cheap. “It’s costing what we were going to pay him in the first place,” my insider explains.
I’m pleased to see Hoffman will be back as he was one of the best characters in the second movie, Meet the Fockers in my opinion.
Head over to Deadline for the full story but it looks like Littler Fockers could be somewhat of a let down folks.
