In 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy', the beloved character, now a mother of two, transitions from her familiar South London home in Borough to a more family-oriented setting in Hampstead. With the absence of Colin Firth’s Mark Darcy, Bridget navigates new romantic possibilities while grappling with life as a fifty-something single parent. Directed by Michael Morris, the film aims to capture a 'real-life' London experience, visibly different from the series' previous installments, echoing the growth of its titular character in contemporary times.
'London opened its arms for Bridget Jones. I wanted this Bridget movie to be a "real-life" romcom, and for [the city] to look like the London that I know.'
Morris jokingly anticipates backlash from south Londoners, noting 'Anyone who is a Borough loyalist, they've moved out, let's be honest.'
The biggest change in 'Mad About the Boy' is the geographic shift from Southwark to Hampstead, showcasing Bridget's new life as a mother.
'It was fabulous shooting in Hampstead. Everywhere you look is beautiful,' says Morris, reflecting on the film's capturing of the picturesque London.
