Laura Dern joining Little Fockers
She'll play the kids' headmistress…
Like a casting singularity, the third film in the Meet The Parents trilogy continues to drag actors into its swirling maw. The latest? Laura Dern.
Dern has signed on to play the headmistress at the school that Gaylord (Ben Stiller) and Pamela Focker's (Teri Polo) children will be attending in Little Fockers.
So chances are she'll have a run in with Robert De Niro's Jack Byrnes. Will she get taken down to Chinatown? You'll have to wait and see.
The Hollywood Reporter's story also drops one minor bombshell (in fact, it's so minor we're going to label it a bombsqueak) with a mention that "the title may change." What, no Little Fockers? You mean director Paul Weitz and the writers will have to come up with a different groan-worthy pun? Shocker!
