Paul Weitz, who has produced In Good Company, The Golden Compass and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, is in negotiations to direct Little Fockers.

The studio will begin production in July on the third installment of this comedic franchise.

Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Teri Polo and Blythe Danner are set to reprise their roles from the last two films.

According to Variety, the studio has been looking for the right director to replace Jay Roach, who directed Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers.
