John Hamburg Talks Little Fockers

More Owen Wilson in comedy sequel, plus news of I Love You, Man 2.

IGN recently caught up with writer/director John Hamburg, and he spilled the beans about forthcoming comedy sequel Little Fockers, as well as a possible follow-up to one of his own movies.

"I'm currently writing Little Fockers, which is the third in the Meet the Parents franchise," he explained. "We're coming up with the story as we speak. Larry Stuckey wrote the original script, and I'm doing my version of it.

"We're catching up with these characters five years later and Pam and Greg have twins so they are dealing with that. And people are dealing with where they're at in their lives, and themes of death and divorce and all these real things that as we get older, we start to think about, but in a really comic way."

Hamburg added that Owen Wilson will have a much bigger role in the threequel, which is great news as his too-good-to-be-true character Kevin Rawley was a comedic highlight from the first two movies.

We also asked about the potential for a sequel to Hamburg's recent comedy hit I Love You, Man, with the director sounding optimistic. "I do love these characters, so somewhere down the line perhaps. We've batted around a few ideas, but it's way too early.
