They're finally making a sequal to Meet the Parents!! 😄😄

Dustin Hoffman is a Focker

Dustin Hoffman has signed a deal to play the father of Ben Stiller's character in Meet the Fockers, the follow-up to Meet the Parents, which Universal and director Jay Roach are readying for late March start. The studio has already set a December 22 release date for the comedy.
Robert De Niro and Stiller have already reached deals to reprise their roles as a protective father and the bumbling boyfriend who wants to marry his daughter. Teri Polo and Blythe Danner are also returning to play, respectively, Stiller's fiance and De Niro's wife.
The role of Mrs. Focker is still to be cast, says Variety. At the premiere of Along Came Polly, Stiller told USA Today, "My dream is Barbra Streisand."
Now that Greg Focker (Stiller) is "in" with his soon-to-be in-laws, Jack (De Niro) and Dina Byrnes, it looks like smooth sailing for him and his fiancée, Pam (Polo). But that's before Pam's parents meet Greg's parents, the Fockers. The hyper-relaxed Fockers and the tightly-wound Byrneses are woefully mismatched from the start, and no matter how hard Greg and Pam try, there is just no bringing their families together--which all adds up to a disastrously funny time of "getting to know you.
"Parents" screenwriter Jim Herzfeld as well as writing team Tim Rasmussen and Vince DiMeglio get credit on the final draft.
