It looks like Daddy Focker Dustin Hoffman might not be appearing in the Little Fockers, the third film in the Meet the Parents franchise.
Entertainment Weekly has reported that there has been “strife between Hoffman and the studio over the size of the part, the scheduling of the days on set and other difficulties.”
Apparently Hoffman had “tentatively agreed” to appear in a cameo at the end of the film but now talks concerning “salary issues or scheduling problems, or both” seems to have fallen apart.
Universal have declined to comment.
Little Fockers will see newlyweds Greg and Pam Focker (Ben Stiller and Teri Polo) attempting to raise twins whilst under the ever-critical eye of ex-CIA father-in-law Jack Byrnes played by Robert De Niro.
Barbara Streisand’s Roz Focker character still has a “prominent role” in the movie and Jessica Alba was added to the cast in September allegedly playing a young vixen stirring up trouble for our male protagonists.
