Hoffman says no to Fockers

Dustin Hoffman will be absent from the sequel to Meet The Fockers - he's refused to sign up for the latest installment of the comedy franchise.

The actor, who played Ben Stiller's dad in the 2004 film, was rumoured to be returning for a part in the forthcoming movie, Little Fockers.

But Hoffman has not signed up to star alongside confirmed stars Jessica Alba and Robert De Niro in the latest film because of scheduling issues, according to reports.

Barbra Streisand is yet to confirm whether she will return as Stiller's mum.
