Despite initially being written out of the upcoming comedy Little Fockers, Dustin Hoffman will indeed be reprising his role in the Meet the Fockers sequel, EW has confirmed. His scenes come courtesy of a series of pickup shots Universal is adding to the film, including some opposite onscreen wife Barbra Streisand. Hoffman reportedly will be receiving a salary equivalent to what he would have received had he been cast in the first place.
UPDATE: Hoffman will be in four scenes, some indeed with Streisand, a studio source confirms. These were shot during one week of additional photography, after Hoffman had seen the movie and wanted to be a part of it. The source also confirms that the reason for Hoffman’s initial unavailability was not salary-related.
This movie has to be good. The second one was worse than rat poo!
Why in the first place was he cast out??
Yeah, I had no idea he wasn’t initially cast. Plus he appears in the trailer. Weird.
Before your Today show interview was over I had aldaery purchased the Kindle version of your book. I read it all last night and finished it this morning. I thought it was an amazingly honest account of the struggle to get your body under control when food is a main focus in your life. Thanks for the thought-provoking, laugh-inducing read. I posted a review and will be telling all of my fat friends about your book.
