One of my most anticipated films of the year, the sequel to 2000's Meet The Parents, Meet The Fockers looks like it's finally getting going. Here's some of the latest...
Quote:
Barbra Streisand is in final talks to join Dustin Hoffman as the parents of Ben Stiller's character in Universal's Meet the Fockers, set to go into production later this month. The film, which Jay Roach is directing, is slated for a Dec. 22 release.
Variety says that while 2000's Meet the Parents centered on Stiller's eager-to-please character trying to win approval of his girlfriend's dad, the tightly wound ex-spook Jack Byrnes played by Robert De Niro, the sequel follows the clash between the Byrnes and the free-to-be-you-and-me Fockers.
Streisand's last onscreen appearance was eight years ago in romantic comedy The Mirror Has Two Faces, which she directed and produced.

I can't really see Dustin Hoffman OR Barbara Streisand in these roles but nonetheless I'm sure it'll work and will be hilarious.
I saw an interview with Teri Polo, who plays Ben Stiller's g/f in the first movie when she was on Jay Leno, and she said Spoiler:
one of the parts of the script she contributed to was the naming of the matriarch of the Focker Family, rightfully called Mother Focker. How hilarious is that? Anyways, I can't wait 'til December when this comes out. Should be hilarious.
