A new photo has surfaced from the film “Little Fockers” showing Owen portraying his returning character Kevin Rawley. Take a look!

Release Date: Dec. 22
Studio: Universal
Genre: Comedy
Director: Paul Weitz
Writer: John Hamburg, Victoria Strouse, Larry Stuckey
Cast: Ben Stiller, Robert DeNiro, Dustin Hoffman, Barbra Streisand, Blythe Danner, Teri Polo, Jessica Alba, Owen Wilson, Harvey Keitel, Laura Dern, Raven-Symone
Studio Description: The Focker and the Byrnes families brace themselves for the arrival of a baby.

Analysis: In the fall of 2000, Meet the Parents became a surprise smash, grossing over $160 million. Four years later, the sequel, Meet the Fockers, managed to significantly outgross the original, bringing in nearly $280 million, good for second highest-grossing comedy of all-time behind Home Alone. A second sequel was inevitable, and, after six years, audiences are finally getting one when Little Fockers is released Dec. 22.

The first two movies focused on the relatable and awkward situations inherent in meeting prospective in-laws. While little is known about the plot of the new picture, it appears to be geared more towards the relationship between children, parents and grandparents, as the Focker children will play a significant role. Straying from the successful formula of the first two may be a breath of fresh air for audiences who found Meet the Fockers to be a disappointment, while others may be put off by this approach (Box Office Mojo users gave a “B” grade to both Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers).

Often, a lengthy break between the second and third movie in a series results in significantly lower sales (The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Rush Hour 3, Mission: Impossible III, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Home Alone 3, Beverly Hills Cop III, etc.).

Working in Little Fockers’ favor is the rising box office pull of Ben Stiller. Since Meet the Fockers, he has mostly starred in hits, headlining two Night at the Museum movies, providing voice work in two Madagascar movies and directing and starring in the R-rated hit Tropic Thunder (The Heartbreak Kid was his only miss among lead roles). Stiller’s strong comedy brand, combined with further support from Robert DeNiro, Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand (don’t forget Owen Wilson!) and the franchise’s strong recognition should result in a sizable audience. Whether it can match or surpass the popularity of its predecessors remains to be seen.

The third installment in the “Meet The Parents” franchise has been pushed by to Christmas 2010 to coincide with the previous two films release dates, in spite of the film already being completed.

Hopefully this setback won’t affect the anticipation for this film and will give any prepping that needs to be done a good chance to get finished.

Owen Wilson returned to his role of Kevin Rawley alongside friend Ben Stiller as Greg Focker and began filming last Summer.

For anyone who didn’t notice, The Untitled James L Brooks Project (tentatively named “How Do You Know?”) has gone from the filming status to the post-production status, which is shocking because of its December 2010 predicted release date. Maybe we’ll get it sooner than expected?

In other news, “Little Fockers” (the third installment in the “Meet The Parents” franchise) has gone from pre-production status, to filming status and has added Laura Dern as a cast member. She’ll be playing an elementary school headmistress where the children of Greg & Pam are attending. Returning cast members include Owen Wilson as Kevin Rawley (rumored to have a much larger role in this film), Ben Stiller as Greg Focker & Robert De Niro as Jack Byrnes.

The third installment in the “Meet The Parents” franchise finally offered up a release date of JULY 30th 2010. It seems like a bit of a wait, but I’m sure it will be worth it.
