Bridget Jones. Beatrix Potter. Whatever she was called in Empire Records. What do all of these characters have in common? They were all played by Renee Zellweger, who up until recently was one of the most talented actresses working in Hollywood, as at home playing the perpetually single Brit Jones to Southern belle Ruby in Cold Mountain to a fish in Shark Tale. That is, up until a few years ago, where her CV begins to get a little more sparse. Romantic comedy New In Town and horror flick Case 39 were both heavily delayed, shot some years ago but only released in 2009 to mixed reviews; her most recent role was as a paralysed musician in 2010's My Own Love Song. Since then we've heard nary a peep from her, save for a TV pilot she co-created and produced that wasn't picked up last year. This one's especially weird because there doesn't seem to be any reason for Zellweger's disappearance from the radar, and nobody seems to have noticed, either. Shame.
