The stars of "Bridget Jones's Baby" took to the pink carpet on Monday for the film's London premiere, contemplating shooting another episode in the misadventures of cinema's most hapless singleton.

Crowds gathered in Leicester Square to catch a glimpse of the cast of the third Bridget Jones film, in which Renee Zellweger plays the disaster-prone, chardonnay-swigging heroine.

Ahead of the screening Zellweger suggested she would be open to a fourth film in the series. 

"I think it would be interesting perhaps to watch her improvise through the next stages," she told the BBC.

If these guys show up," she added, gesturing to costars Colin Firth and Patrick Dempsey who play the heroine's love interests.

Firth said he would be interested in shooting another film, while Dempsey suggested the latest episode may not be the last in the Bridget Jones series.

"It would be nice to see Bridget growing and living her life. There hasn't been another character like that where you're growing up with her," he was quoted as saying in London's Evening Standard newspaper. 

The new film opens more than a decade since the film's heroine broke up with her longtime object of desire, Mark Darcy, played by Firth. In that time Bridget has pulled herself together and climbed the corporate ladder to become an award-winning television news producer.

Out have gone the mountains of self-help and diet books, with her bedside table now heaped with heavyweight political tomes and biographies of Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

But Bridget, the hugely popular creation of British journalist Helen Fielding, still finds herself alone on her 43rd birthday crying into a bottle of white wine to Celine Dion's "All By Myself".

Yet as the title of the film suggests, she is not going to be alone for long.

Bridget finds herself pregnant after falling into bed with Darcy shortly after a muddy and drunken tryst with a handsome American internet billionaire at a music festival.

The only problem is that Bridget -- thanks to a packet of out-of-date dolphin-friendly biodegradable condoms -- is not quite sure which one of them is the father.

- 'Perfectly imperfect' -

"Bridget is eternally optimistic, self-effacing and finds humour whenever facing adversity," said 47-year-old Texan Zellweger, who again reprises her almost flawless British accent.

"She's perfectly imperfect, and that's what people relate to in her," she said in publicity notes for the film.

Written by Fielding with actress Emma Thompson (who also stars as her gynaecologist) and "Borat" and "Bruno" screenwriter Dan Mazer, the film is the third in the Bridget Jones trilogy, with Sharon Maguire -- who directed the first instalment -- returning to the helm.

Maguire said that despite the long wait for the trilogy to be completed, there was no question of getting another actress to play the lead.

"You simply can't make Bridget without Renee," she said.

It was sentiment echoed by producer Eric Fellner. "Renee is the greatest comedienne of her generation. On top of that she's also a brilliant actress. 

"Now she owns this character, and it's impossible to envisage anyone else playing her," he said.

Maguire, who herself came to motherhood late, said the reason Bridget Jones has become a huge hit worldwide "was not just because of the comedy but because people identified with Bridget's fear of loneliness. It's a universal fear, and one that's still a prominent theme in the character's journey."

The weight-obsessed, perpetually hungover Bridget Jones character first appeared in a column in The Independent newspaper in 1995 before Fieldings wrote a series of bestselling books.
