Brown University Grad Will Direct 'Meet the Parents 4'

The Fockers are back.

Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro are teaming up once again for a fourth installment of the popular Meet the Parents franchise.

The dynamic duo will reprise their roles of Greg Focker (Stiller) and Jack Byrnes (De Niro) for Meet the Parents 4. Co-stars Teri Polo and Blythe Danner are also signed on to the film.

John Hamburg Signs On to the Film

Another noteworthy name has been brought on to the film, John Hamburg. He's no stranger to the franchise or the stars. He co-wrote the first three movies.

Hamburg's resume is an impressive one. In addition to his writing accolades, he's been a producer on I Love You, Man, Little Fockers and Why Him? among others.

Now, he'll serve as director for Meet the Parents 4. He's familiar with being behind the camera, directing Along Came Polly, I Love You, Man and a few tv shows like New Girl and The Unicorn.

Rhode Island Ties

The New York City native may be a big name in Hollywood now, but he got his start in the Ocean State.

Hamburg attended Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island and graduated with a degree in history. He continued his education at Tisch School of the Arts, honing his movie-making skills.

It's been 15 years since the Fockers were last in theaters. The plot of the fourth film is kept tightly under wraps, but with a bulk of the original cast and crew returning, one can assume hilarity will ensue.
