We haven’t seen Renee Zellweger in a movie in a long time and it appears we will continue waiting.

Bridget Jones’ Baby, the third installment of the Bridget Jones romantic comedy series, has run into script problems and is being delayed.

Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth and Hugh Grant, were scheduled to begin shooting in the next few weeks under the direction of Peter Cattaneo (The Full Monty). But multiple sources close to the production tell The Hollywood Reporter that script issues have caused the creative team—especially Grant—to ask that the movie be delayed. Any stoppage, however, could lead an indefinite, if not permanent, shutdown.

“It’s basically dead,” says one insider. Another source, however, says the script problems will be worked out and “the movie will definitely shoot sometime this year.”

This isn’t the first roadblock the production has hit. Paul Feig (Bridesmaids) was attached to direct the project last year and even worked on the script. But Feig left the movie in the fall amid creative differences with Working Title. That led to Cattaneo’s hiring.

At this point, the cast is still on board to reprise their roles in the film, in which Zellweger’s character hits her 40s an wants to have a baby. But any significant delay could jeopardize their availability. Firth, who has since become an Oscar winner for The King’s Speech, is an especially in-demand actor. His name has surfaced in connection with several gestating projects, including Atom Egoyan‘s The Devil’s Knot, a feature based on the West Memphis Three case.
