00:00A new Meet the Parents movie is in the works with Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller.
00:05Original franchise stars De Niro, Stiller, Terry Polo, and Blythe Danner are in early talks to
00:11return for a new film for Universal Pictures. De Niro and Stiller are also among the film's
00:16producers, as is Jay Roach who directed the first two movies. John Hamburg, who worked on the
00:21screenplay for the 2000 original and the two subsequent sequels, is writing the script.
00:25A director has not yet been announced. Meet the Parents focuses on a nurse, played by Stiller,
00:31who is having trouble getting accepted by his girlfriend's overbearing father, played by De Niro.
00:35The film surpassed $330 million at the global box office. The 2004 sequel, Meet the Fockers,
00:42was even bigger, collecting $522 million worldwide. Another film, Little Fockers, was released in 2010.
00:49During a 2022 interview with The Hollywood Reporter to promote his comedy Me Time,
00:53Hamburg was cagey when asked if another Meet the Parents sequel could happen. He said,
00:58I will refrain from discussing that question, but I love everybody involved,
01:02and we all are still in touch, and I think that's all I'm going to say on that.
