Julia Roberts' cherished film is set for a sequel, generating excitement about the cast members already on board.
In exciting news for fans of romantic comedies, it has been confirmed that a sequel to the 1997 hit movie, My Best Friend's Wedding, is in very early development with Sony Pictures. The script for the highly-anticipated film is being penned by Celine Song, known for crafting great romance stories and recently receiving a five-star review for her movie, Materialists.
While the details about the returning cast and the plot are yet to be disclosed, Dermot Mulroney, who played Michael in the original movie, has confirmed talks of a sequel. Julia Roberts, who portrayed the "pretty dodgy character" Jules, has expressed interest in exploring the character further in a Best Friend's Wedding sequel. It is worth noting that Julia Roberts has never starred in a sequel to one of her movies.
The potential sequel could provide a rare worthwhile sequel that isn't simply a cash grab, as it could delve deeper into the complex relationships between Jules, Michael, and Kimmy, played by Cameron Diaz in the original movie. In a hypothetical sequel, Michael might seek help from Jules after facing problems in his marriage with Kimmy.
Interestingly, Kimmy could potentially become the one to sabotage in a sequel, adding an unexpected twist to the storyline. The main cast from the 1997 movie, including Dermot Mulroney and Cameron Diaz, could potentially return for the sequel. However, it is currently unclear whether Julia Roberts will reprise her role or if the original characters will return.
Celine Song's take on Julianne Potter over 25 years later is of great interest, especially considering her 2023 debut, Past Lives, has become a favourite among cinephiles. While Celine Song is not confirmed yet to be directly involved in the sequel discussions, it is hoped that she will be.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project. In the meantime, catch Celine Song's latest movie, Materialists, starring Chris Evans, Dakota Johnson, and Pedro Pascal.
