Renée Zellweger happy to star in 'Bridget Jones 3'

Renée Zellweger is returning to her famous Bridget Jones franchise and the actress is having a great time shooting it in London.

Colin Firth plays Bridget's husband Mark Darcy in the film. Patrick Dempsey will also be seen in the film in an unspecified role. Hugh Grant, who played Bridget's other love interest in the previous installments of the series, will not return for the third film, reported E! online. 

"I'm really glad to be doing it," Zellweger said. The first official image from Bridget Jones's Baby was released around two weeks ago.

The movie is adapted from Helen Fielding's columns for a UK newspaper.
