The trailer for the film, which was revealed this Tuesday, November 12, caused a lot of reaction from spectators.

Sorry, I won’t watch this movie.” An opus in which the heroine finds herself single – but courted by multiple suitors.

The eternal seducer, Daniel Cleaver, played by Hugh Grant, will do his usual come-back in the life of Bridget Jones.
