Universal Pictures has released the official poster for the third “Meet the Parents” movie, which is apparently now called “Meet the Parents: Little Fockers.”

Plot: It has taken 10 years, two little Fockers with wife Pam (Teri Polo) and countless hurdles for Greg (Ben Stiller) to finally get “in” with his tightly wound father-in-law, Jack (Robert De Niro). After the cash-strapped dad takes a job moonlighting for a drug company, however, Jack’s suspicions about his favorite male nurse come roaring back.

When Greg and Pam’s entire clan – including Pam’s lovelorn ex, Kevin (Owen Wilson) – descends for the twins’ birthday party, Greg must prove to the skeptical Jack that he’s fully capable as the man of the house. But with all the misunderstandings, spying and covert missions, will Greg pass Jack’s final test and become the family’s next patriarch…or will the circle of trust be broken for good?

It looks like Ben Stiller’s long-in-development sequel to Zoolander might actually be happening. Finke has learned that Ben Stiller has been working on a script with Tropic Thunder and Iron Man 2 screenwriter Justin Theroux. Paramount Pictures wants to keep the budget low (under $50 million) as the first film was not a box office hit. The current plan is for Theroux to direct, and Jonah Hill is apparently in early talks to play the sequel’s villain. Theroux will be at Fashion Week in Paris to “immerse himself on what is current in fashion”.

Stiller has said in the past that a sequel would be set 10 years later with Derek Zoolander dealing with the fact that he is no longer a model, possibly spending his days running a modeling school and taking care of his now 10 or 11 years old son. Stiller has also said that a sequel couldn’t be made without Owen Wilson reprising his role as Hansel.

I know the first film has developed something of a cult following after disappointing at the box office, but something tells me that the world still isn’t ready for another Zoolander film.

They’re back! Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller are seen on the set of “Little Fockers”, the sequel to the hugely popular “Meet the Fockers” and “Meet the Parents”. They were seen sharing a laugh with one another in between takes.

Recently, MTV learned that Jessica Alba would have a small but vital role in “Little Fockers” as a pharmaceutical rep whose looks have a dangerous effect on the film’s male cast. Now, yet another actress is joining “Fockers,” though her influence is centered more on the little Fockers themselves.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, none other than “Jurassic Park” veteran Laura Dern has signed on for “Little Fockers,” playing the role of an elementary school’s headmistress. The children of Stiller and Teri Polo’s characters, said to be five year-old twins, attend the very school that Dern presides over.

Director Paul Weitz recently spoke about the film’s plot, which focuses on the lives of Greg and Pamela Focker (Stiller and Polo), now the proud parents of young twins. In this film, Greg has finally earned the respect of former CIA operative and all-around tough guy Jack (De Niro), Pamela’s father — but the trouble doesn’t end there.

“[It's] about no matter how you’ve moved ahead in your life, there’s still anxiety and insecurity around the corner for you,” Weitz said of the plot.

Ben Stiller made fun of the Oscars after being presented with his Generation Award at last night’s MTV Movie Awards.

The ‘Night at the Museum’ actor was given his prize by Kiefer Sutherland, puppet Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and Zac Efron and says they were keen not to not take themselves too seriously unlike stars at the more prestigious Academy Awards.

He said: “That was really fun. We thought it was pretty funny at the Oscars this year when all the nominees were lauded by their peers in a serious way. We wanted to play around with that.

“I was probably least impressed with Triumph. But Zac is the sweetest guy. Kiefer, for me, was awesome. I’m a huge ’24′ fan.”

He revealed: “I’ll always find a way to stress out about anything. If I won. If I’m thinking I’m going to win. If I don’t think I’m going to win. But I feel we had a nice balance up there.”
