TMZ obtained the contract Helen’s parents, Robert and his ex-wife Grace Hightower, executed on her behalf on August 14, 2025.
The paperwork listed the film as being tentatively titled “Lazarus,” which may be a code name during production.
The director of the film is listed as John Hamburg, who produced “Meet the Fockers” and is directing the upcoming “Focker-in-Law” movie … which is adding Ariana Grande to the OG cast and is set to be released in November of 2026. All signs point to Lazarus actually being Focker-in-Law.

Suffice to say … there may be a new nepo baby entering the scene!
