Renee Zellweger ‘Has Kept the Flame Alive’ on ‘Bridget Jones’: No. 4 to Make Her ‘Tom Cruise’ Money


Renee Zellweger is the driving force behind the 'Bridget Jones' series and the reason the fourth is going so smoothly, a source exclusively tells Closer.

Renée Zellweger likes to live life on the down low these days, but she’s coming out of her self-imposed hibernation to plug the upcoming Bridget Jones installment – Mad About The Boy – for all its worth. It also doesn’t hurt that the actress is looking at the huge carrot of a massive payday bonus if the movie does well at the box office, a source exclusively reveals to Closer. Jamie McCarthy/Getty ImagesAs the fourth installment is gearing up for release in time for Valentine’s Day in 2025, the source notes that Renée has deftly managed to secure “real profit participation points on the back end of these movies,” mostly through developing “a rock-solid relationship with her fellow producers and with the creator of the franchise, the author Helen Fielding.”
