The first three films grossed over 1 billion now

Almost 25 years after the film comedy My Bride, Her Father and I and 14 years after the last part of the successful series, Ben Stiller as George Focker and Robert De Niro as the grumpy stepfather Jack are set to return to the screen. Initial discussions with them and their female co-stars, Blythe Danner and Teri Polo, are already underway.
