BRIDGET JONES: MAD ABOUT THE BOY THE OFFICIAL PODCAST is a new and exclusive podcast hosted by journalist and Bridget Jones expert Pandora Sykes. This five-part series features exclusive interviews with Leo Woodall, Helen Fielding, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and the very woman who brought Bridget from page to screen, Renee Zellweger. We also hear juicy insights about the upcoming film from the people behind the scenes such as Director Michael Morris on what he loves about the script and Costume Designer Molly Emma Rowe on the return of the big pants, hello Mummy.
In Episode 2: Mad About the Movies, Pandora Sykes, is joined by Sally Phillips, who plays Bridget’s BFF ‘Shazzer’ and Bridget Jones’s Baby and Mad About The Boy screenwriters Dan Mazer and Abi Morgan, to discuss the iconic 25 year lifespan of Bridget Jones on the Big Screen. We hear about when Sally was approached to play Bridget, how Dan and Abi brought both the hilarious and the sentimental to the new script, and the Mad About the Boy scene which made the whole cast cry. We also hear from Michael Morris on those throwbacks to the first film and from costume designer Molly Emma Rowe on using Bridget’s wardrobe to connect with the audience.
Each episode focuses on a different aspect of the Bridget Jones films, including exclusive interviews with Bridget’s beloved besties, her new love interests, and of course, Bridget herself- Renee Zellweger.
