Ben Stiller is bringing Harvey Keitel and Robert DeNiro back together.

Keitel will join the cast of "Little Fockers," third in the "Meet the Parents" series co-starring Stiller and DeNiro, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That marks the first time the pair will star in a movie together since 1973's "Mean Streets."

Stiller plays Gaylord Focker, with DeNiro as his ex-CIA father-in-law. Keitel will join the third movie as a contractor helping renovate the Fockers' house.

-- Jason Priestley, meanwhile, will go from high-school good boy to developing a movie about a young bad boy.

Priestley, who played all-American teen Brandon Walsh on the '90s incarnation of "Beverly Hills, 90210," is working on "Death of a Freerider," according to Variety.

The movie will follow a Rolling Stone article about 22-year-old Sam Brown, who used his mountain bike to smuggle drugs across the U.S.-Canada border. As you can tell by the title, he didn't live to enjoy the fruit of his labors.

Filming is tentatively scheduled to begin toward the end of 2010.
