\n\tUniversal<\/a> used a portion of its CinemaCon<\/a> presentation in Las Vegas on Wednesday to reveal the first trailer for Focker-in-Law<\/a>, the latest installment in the Meet the Parents franchise and the first one since 2010.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe studio also revealed that the film will hit theaters ahead of Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

\n\tBen Stiller<\/a> and Robert De Niro<\/a> were on hand for the film\u2019s presentation to cinema executives. The pair are returning along with Teri Polo and Blythe Danner from the original 2000 movie, which traced Stiller\u2019s Greg Focker introduction into the family of fianc\u00e9e Pam (played by Polo), a clan led by De Niro\u2019s tough-guy, ex-CIA patriarch Jack.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor the first three box-office hit movies, this mostly did not go well for Greg.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis time around, Skyler Gisondo and Beanie Feldstein play Greg and Pam\u2019s now-grown kids, with the plot revolving around Gisondo\u2019s pending nuptials to another newcomer, Olivia, played by Ariana Grande<\/a>, who definitely rubs Greg the wrong way.<\/p>\n

\n\tEver-suspicious Jack is back with his lie detector but Grande\u2019s character makes the cut, winning a place in the \u201ccircle of trust.\u201d But she\u2019s more than meets the eye.<\/p>\n
