Bridget Jones director says,

Director Michael Morris should not have worried about Renée Zellweger Reducing his role as Bridget Jones in Crazy about the boy – She returned to the character before he even called action.

“It is absolutely true to say that she enters like Bridget and there is something really deep about it,” said Morris, 51 -year -old with Morris US WeeklyS “Because we were all expecting Rene to come (to set up). … It doesn’t happen. Bridget enters and there is a huge difference in the way he walks, the way he sits, the way he bends. This is Bridget. “

Morris – who called Zellueger “Wonderful, Warm Human Being” and “Truly Great Actress” – said everyone working on the movie, from “Makeup Team” to the “Crafts team” have a “experience of the body” watching Oscar’s winner to get around, like her Roma-Comm’s colleague.

“Like,” I talk to Bridget Jones behind the scenes on the set Bridget JonesWhat? My head bursts! It’s so strange, “he recalled.” Honestly, I felt like that. So from the beginning, Bridget was there and just doing everything better. Because that means you can just enter it. “

Zellweger is settling back in Bridget with ease – she has already nailed the role in the three previous films based on the Helen Fielding newspaper, the series: 2001 Bridget Jones’ Diary2004, Bridget Jones: The End of Reason and 2016 Bridget Jones’ babyS Now, the on-on-off single single is back and is ready to do USA Laugh, cry, run out and inhale ice cream (and wine) until we reunite with her after the death of great love Mark Darcy (Colin Firth).

While Crazy about the boy He introduces Bridget as a widowed mother to two immersion on her finger back into the dating pool – Mark has been dead for four years until the movie begins – the favorite character can be felt from beginning to end. Morris said USA He was well aware of how important the hero was to the fans and wanted to ensure that Furt’s short Cameo Cameo was correctly correct.

“It was one of the most emotional moments in the photos, seeing Renee and Colin together, and knowing how short their time would be on the set,” he said, noting that the designers of the kit put “real photos” on the duo in Bridgets home to feel the loss more authentic. It was a touch that Firth itself appreciated.

“Unlike most movies, they are real photos because they grew up together, making these films. So there are all these real moments, “Maurice recalled. “And (Colin) walked through the set on the way to where we needed it and he just said, ‘The movie you are doing I felt like a memory because I’m not in this house but I’m something like somehow passing Through it for this scene. And it was just magnificent. “

Mark’s “absence” and “loss” was inevitable-“The audience has a 24-year relationship with Colin Firth like Mark Darcy,” Maurice Morris reminded USAS The director also had an additional challenge to build a New A world for Bridget who could help the character start his next chapter.

“She has never lived in this house, she has never had children, she has never been at that moment,” he said. “It is rediscovered. It was something we had to do because this was the story we were telling. “

One advantage that Morris had in his corner? As a truly long -time fan of franchise he said he was helping him feel seen while moving in his own young adult life.

“I remember in 2001 when I saw the first movie – I just went to the movies and saw it, and I was at the age of 20 when it came out, at the same age as Bridget, trying to make my own way by inventing What am I going to do, how I would do it, ”he said. “So with all these fabulous men who were in this first movie with Colin and Hugh (Grant) and James Folkner and everyone else, I leaned to Bridget. This was my stand-in. “

Morris admitted that if he could feel seen by Bridget, women would surely do so. “I (even) did not have half of the true points of Bridget that have so many women,” he noted. “And God knows that society does not ask me to chronicle my weight in my diary as if it asks women to do.”

Partly therefore feels Morris Bridget Jones – Even 24 years after the first movie hit theaters – to this day it resonates so deeply. In the so -called. The Golden Age of Movies of Superheroes and Horries, romantic comedies find their focus on “real people” and “real life”.

“We can have the really shiny and possibly perfect version of ROM-COMS, where they all look great and they live, you know, a tropical island with Louis Vuitton suitcases. This is a version of ROM-COM, “he explained. “But then there is another version of ROM-COM, which reflects us more, and the mess of all this and the type of real life ROM-COM in some way that is more bridge.”

Morris himself has a lot of experience with every genre from all over the country. After starting with the family drama brothers and sisters, he moved to show as 13 reasons why and Better call SaulS This range, Maurice said, only helped him when it was about joining Bridget Jones’ family.

“If you are going to make a comedy, I have the feeling that you want to include items that are not comedy, on the face,” he told The United States. “It’s a bit like when you cook. You make salt, make a little sweet, a little acid, you have to taste full. And I think the really exciting thing about ROM-COMS, (is) actually when you split it, it’s not a clear genre. “

Bridget Jones: Crazy for the Boy streams on the peacock.
