Bridget Jones 4's new trailer confirms tragic death
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy's new trailer is here, and it confirms a tragic twist that fans had expected.
The fourth movie for Renée Zellweger's iconic character is due out in cinemas next Valentine's Day, but it doesn't look like it'll only bring us tears of laughter.
As expected, Bridget Jones 4 is following the book it's based on and is set four years after the death of Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). Colin appears in the trailer, so it looks like he filmed new scenes for the movie, but only for Bridget's flashbacks.
Check out the first trailer for Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy above.
The trailer reunites us with many of the returning stars, including Jim Broadbent as Bridget's father Colin. We see him tell Bridget that "it's not enough to survive, you've got to live" in a sure-to-be emotional scene.
At a trailer preview yesterday (November 11) which Digital Spy attended, director Michael Morris said that he wanted to make a "comedy of grief".
"[It's] very much a comedy, very much celebrating life in all the joyfulness that Bridget brings, but life, you can't ignore the hard bits, you just can't. It's going to happen to everybody, so how does Bridget deal with it?," he explained.
"How do you attack moving on essentially with the kind of Bridget verve and joyfulness? And I think in that way this is a rom-com, but a real-life rom-com is what I wanted to make."
The trailer also gives us our first look at Hugh Grant returning as Daniel Cleaver who, somehow, has become a sort-of uncle to Bridget's children, while we also get the first look at Chiwetel Ejiofor and Leo Woodall as Bridget's new love interests.
Hugh Grant has described Bridget Jones 4 as "very sad" and "extremely funny", and revealed that he actually wrote some of his own scenes.
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy will be released in UK cinemas on February 14. It will be released exclusively on Peacock in the US on February 13.
