Loved the movie Book Club........here's a little something about the new movie with all the women.

You can thank Candice Bergen for "Book Club" going full Italiano.

Bergen started planning the next exotic chapter of the 2018 comedy ? about four longtime friends whose lives are changed forever after reading "Fifty Shades of Grey" ? from an airplane in Las Vegas while promoting the movie even before the release.

"We were saying, 'I think this movie's going to do OK ? maybe we should do a sequel,' " Bergen recalls. "And I said, 'Yeah, and we should shoot the sequel in Italy.' It turns out, we did."

This second movie was sealed after "Book Club" rolled with an impressive $104 million at the box office worldwide. "Book Club: The Next Chapter" (in theaters) reunites Bergen with co-stars Jane Fonda, 85, Mary Steenburgen, 70, and Diane Keaton, 77, as the friends head for a long-delayed bachelorette party trip throughout Italy.
