Meet the Parents 3: Little Fockers


Recommended Posts

Dustin Hoffman has agreed to appear in the third instalment of the Meet the Fockers franchise which has already been filmed, reports say.

The 73-year-old was written out of Little Fockers after movie bosses failed to reach a deal with him, according to Deadline Hollywood.

But after director Jay Roach convinced the star to reconsider, Hoffman's character was written back in.

He is expected to film his scenes in a series of re-shoots next month.

Hoffman will reprise his role as Bernie Focker, the on-screen father to Ben Stiller, who is now coping with parenthood.

Barbra Streisand is returning as Hoffman's on-screen wife.

A Universal Studios insider told Deadline Hollywood the part was similar to the one offered to Hoffman in the first place.

The source added the film, which is due to be released in December, could have been released in its current form, but the studio "want to make it better - it's an investment in the future of the franchise".

Stiller, Robert De Niro, Teri Polo, Blythe Danner and Owen Wilson will also reprise their roles in the film.

The first two films in the franchise, Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers, took more than $445m (?289m) at the the US box office.

    • TCL's Bang & Olufsen soundbar is 40% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The TCL Design Series A65K is currently $299.99, down from $499.99. That's 40% off and $200 saved on a soundbar tuned by Bang & Olufsen, which is not a combination you'd normally expect at this price point (purchase link below). Bang & Olufsen doesn't typically show up in the sub-$500 category. The Danish audio brand is known for speakers that cost several times more, so having their acoustic tuning on a $300 soundbar is very appealing. TCL handles the hardware, B&O handles the sound engineering, and the result is what the company calls "accessible luxury." Still, accessible luxury isn’t full-fledged luxury, so don’t expect wonders. But this is a decent soundbar, nevertheless. The A65K is a true 3.1.2 channel system with nine physical drivers, including genuine up-firing height speakers for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Many soundbars at this price simulate overhead effects through virtual processing, rather than actual hardware. So, you’re getting the real deal. The design is unusually slim for a system with Atmos compatibility. The bar is just under 2 inches deep and should fit beneath most TV screens. The wireless subwoofer is also compact at roughly 14 x 14 x 5 inches. Total output is 460W, and you can connect to the soundbar via HDMI eARC, Bluetooth 5.3, or USB. There are also eight sound modes through the TCL Home app and an AI calibration capability. Although it’s worth mentioning that AI capabilities in most of these devices are inconsistent, to say the least, and that shouldn’t be the biggest selling point. Still, at $299.99, the A65K is a strong buy for anyone who wants a soundbar that sounds and looks noticeably better than what this price range usually offers. And the Bang & Olufsen branding surely sounds nice - pun intended.

    • And he paid Joe Rogan $30M for podcasts. Terrible company.
    • I sure hope the AI does not give out wrong info during education
    • That is $130 more than I paid for my 4TB a year ago. How is this a deal?
