Whoop whoop. Now we have a visual – thanks to a clever social media campaign that meant Facebook likes emptied a bottle of wine to finally reveal the new Bridget Jones cover. We’ve said it before: we are super excited for the return of Bridget Jones and what the new millennium holds for her. When we last left Bridge she was smoking fags, quaffing too much wine, lusting after Daniel Cleaver, madly in love with Colin Firth (ahem, sorry, Mark Darcy) and settling into another round of post Christmas turkey curry buffet. Happy days, then, that she is returning as a throughly modern woman of the world. The new Bridget still finds herself in London but in this third instalment, she is facing the challenge of maintaing her sex appeal, not to mention the waaay more nightmarish issues of, as the release describes it: “drunken texting, skinny jeans, the disastrous email cc, total lack of Twitter followers and Tvs that need 90 buttons and three remotes to simply turn on.” Bring on October. We cannot wait.
Bridget’s life set in contemporary London, including the challenges of maintaining sex appeal as the years roll by and the nightmare of drunken texting, the skinny jean, the disastrous email cc, total lack of Twitter followers, and TVs that need 90 buttons and three remotes to simply turn on.
