Well, hello there, lovelies. Looks like Bridget’s back, bless her. Twenty-three years, can you believe it? The woman ages slower than a bottle of Bollinger left in the fridge – which, let’s be honest, is probably her preferred tipple.
(pause, stares directly at the camera with wide, bewildered eyes, like Atkinson)
"Mad About the Boy," eh?
Who’d have thought it? I mean, the last time we saw her, she was finally getting her act together with Darcy. Now he’s pushing up daisies and she’s sniffing around a bloke who could be her son. Typical Bridget, really. Jumping from the frying pan… into a slightly more attractive frying pan.
(pause, shrugs shoulders with a sigh, like Gervais)
Still, at least we’ve got Leo Woodall from "White Lotus," eh? Good-looking chap, can’t deny it. Might make watching her gaffe her way through life a bit more bearable. And, of course, we’ve got the old reliables: Shazzer, Jude, Tom, even the ever-suffering doctor. It wouldn’t be Bridget without them, would it?
(pauses, canvas face transforming into a manic grin, like Evans)
And the tears, they say! Oh God, the tears! Can’t have Bridget without a good sob-fest, can we? Maybe this time we’ll finally see her fully embrace her inner Bridget and just accept that life’s a messy, complicated, and frankly hilarious shambles. A bit like us, eh?
(leans forward conspiratorially)
But don’t worry, plenty of the old slapstick to keep us laughing. Bridget tripping over her own feet, spilling wine on herself, making inappropriate jokes at the worst possible moments… I mean, it’s a classic formula, isn’t it?
Valentine’s Day release. How romantic. Or maybe just a marketing ploy to get all the lonely hearts weeping into their popcorn. Either way, I’ll be there, front row, ready to laugh… and maybe cry a little bit… at the glorious disaster that is Bridget Jones.
(bows deeply, then wanders offstage muttering to himself)
"Mad About the Boy"? More like mad about all the bloody money this film’s going to rake in…
When the Bazaar team heard at the beginning of this year that there was a fourth Bridget Jonesfilm was in the making, we couldn’t believe our luck. After 23 years, Renée Zellweger returns to the role of Jones, and that can only mean laughing, screeching and roaring. Although after watching the new trailer we also know that there will be tears. The trailer of Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy is finally here. We’ll tell you all about it.

Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy
The recordings of Bridget Jones 4 started in May. In addition to Zellweger, Hugh Grant returns as Daniel Cleaver, as do Sarah Solemani as Miranda and Jim Broadbent as Bridget’s father – just to name a few. We also welcome a number of new faces, such as none other than Leo Woodall (!), known from the hit series The White Lotus in One Day.
Bridget Jones 4 trailer
In the trailer of Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy we see how Bridget is now a single mother in her fifties. Her great love, Mark Darcy, played by Colin Firth, has passed away, but his memories remain vivid. This is how we hear his voice during the trailer. Four years after his death, Bridget opens up to love again. But whether with the school teacher Mr. Wallaker, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, or with the 29-year-old Roxster, played by Leo Woodall, is still unclear. We also see familiar faces, such as friends Shazzer, Jude and Tom, and Bridget’s doctor Dr. Rawlings, played by Emma Thompson. The romcom can be seen in Dutch cinemas from February 14. Until then, we can daydream about the images below.

How would the dynamic between Bridget and her potential new love interest be portrayed in the film?
## From the Diary of a Movie Buff
**Host:** Now we have shuffling in a very special guest, someone who knows a thing or two about a woman who’s a bit messy, a bit fabulous, and oh-so-British. He’s just watched the trailer for the latest Bridget Jones instalment, and let’s just say he’s got opinions! Welcome, darling!
**Guest:** *(leans forward, eyes twinkling mischievously)* Well, hello there yourself! It wouldn’t be Valentine’s Day without a good dose of Bridget, would it? To say I’m *mad* about this new flick… well, it’s an understatement.
**Host:** *(chuckles)* Tell us more, what has you bubbling over like a glass of too-cheap Prosecco?
**Guest:** Oh, where do I even begin? Twenty-three years ago, she waltzed into our lives, a singleton struggling to find love and a decent pair of pants. And now, the woman returns! *”Mad About the Boy”* indeed. Who’d have thought after all those years with dear Darcy, she’d be sniffing around someone who could be her son! *(makes a playful shocked face)*
**Host:** *(gapes theatrically)* Oh my! Is it really quite that scandalous?
**Guest:** Classic Bridget, my dear, wouldn’t have it any other way! This time, though, we’ve got Leo Woodall from *”White Lotus”* joining the laughter. He’s definitely got the looks to make those Bridget blunders just a tad more bearable.
**Host:** *(giggles).* Absolutely! And what about the old gang? Shazzer, Jude, dessert-loving Bridget’s mom?
**Guest:** They haven’t been left behind, darling, not a chance! It wouldn’t be *Bridget Jones* without them. Think tears, think slapstick – Bridget tripping over her own feet, spilling wine - you know the drill. It’s going to be a glorious mess, just like she always is, and just like we love her for!)
**Host:** We can’t wait! Speaking of which, this Valentine’s Day release, clever marketing or coincidence?
**Guest:** Asterisk.
*(kneads chin thoughtfully, a sly grin returning)* Perhaps a cunning plan to have the whole world weeping into their popcorn! But I, for one, will be there front and center, ready for the laughs, the tears, and the inevitable roll my eyes-worthy quotes.
**Host:** *(claps hands)* Sounds like a plan! Thanks for joining us today, darling. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go stock up on tissues and chocolate.
**(laughs as the guest shuffles offstage, muttering about box office numbers and Bridget’s questionable love life)**
