Pete Segal Set to Direct Little Fockers

Pete Segal has signed on to direct Little Fockers, the third installment in the Meet the Parents franchise for Universal Pictures/Tribeca Prods.

According to Variety, Segal was expected to return as the director of Get Smart 2, but became available when Steve Carell instead made a deal to team with Tina Fey in the Shawn Levy-directed comedy Date Night for Fox.

John Hamburg scripted the third installment. It is the first in the series (Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers) not to be directed by Jay Roach. The franchise is one of Universal's most lucrative, with a combined worldwide gross just north of $820 million.

Universal will get the film into production later this year. Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal produce.

    Newkill, I have a question for you:
    Do you think that constant swearing makes you seem tougher?

    Because ot only makes you seem like a douchebag with nothing better to do.

    Can't wait for this movie.

    I loved the first (classic). Second had more comedy (Dustin Hoffman was excellent). Peter Segal is a decent director, I liked The Longest Yard remake. As long as Robert De Niro is returning I'm there

    You know 'Newkill', If you don't like the movie, THEN DON"T WATCH IT! But stop spoiling the concept for the rest of the people who actually do like and know a good comedy when they see it.
