    As if the name of Firth's character didn't make it apparent, when it came to original book Bridget Jones's Diary author Fielding liberally took inspiration from romantic classic Pride and Prejudice, particularly when it comes to the prickly, slow-burning relationship between the aforementioned Darcy and Bridget. "[Elizabeth Bennet] had her struggle...

    Explaining that her first Bridget Jones story began life as a series of columns, Fielding then admitted the development of her book ran in parallel with the classic 1995 BBC broadcast of Pride and Prejudice, the latter influencing the course of the former. "I was infatuated with it," she says. "In fact, I just stole the plot, and then hung my colum...

    Fielding's book was published in 1995 and the movie was released in 2001.

In fact a whole host of amazing stars' names were thrown in the ring including Helena Bonham Carter, Cate Blanchett, Rach...

    Any doubts over the actress's commitment to this coveted role were swiftly quashed: Zellweger moved to England where she lived for several months, perfecting her plummy Home Counties accent and working in a London publishing housein order to get under the skin of loveable Bridget. In fact, her accent was said to be so convincing that co-star Hugh G...

    Much as we grew to adore Zellweger's brilliant comic performance, the first movie was utterly stolen by the street fight sequence between aforementioned characters Cleaver and Darcy. Martial arts stars these guys ain't: from hitting each other with bin lids to slapping each other's faces, it was the best comedy fight anyone had seen in years. And l...

    It's perhaps easy to forget in the hoopla over Zellweger, Firth and Grant, both Bridget Jones's Diary and its sequel are stuffed with some of our finest actors. Jim Broadbent and Gemma Jones play her parents, initially estranged then reconciled in one of the first movie's most poignant moments; James Callis, Sally Phillips and Shirley Henderson are...

    Scripted by Fielding, Blackadder genius Richard Curtis and Andrew Davies, the man behind the very Pride and Prejudice adaptation that influenced Bridget's creation, it's little wonder the movie stormed the homegrown box office charts. In fact, it posted the most successful weekend opening ever for a UK film, nabbing £5.7m in its first few days and ...

However, she feels there is a spark missing from their relationship and the distance them grows she suspects him of seeing another woman. Falling back into the arms of the slimy Cleaver, Bridge...

    After several years of silence, during which time Zellweger struggled to find a hit movie, rumblings went around that Helen Fielding's new book Bridget Jones's Baby would be coming to screens. The rumours did indeed turn out to be true, Zellweger returning alongside Firth and being spotted filming in Londonlast year. Directed by the first movie's S...

    So where are we now? Addressing the massive gap between Edge of Reason and Baby, Zellweger confirms that Bridget has grown up... somewhat. 'She's a bit more mature and has moved on, as we all have,' she tells Entertainment Weekly. However, before you go and start thinking that Bridge is going all boring on us, rest assured this isn't the case. "All...
