A sequel to the 1997 romantic comedy My Best Friend's Wedding is in early development at Sony, with Celine Song attached to write the screenplay. The Past Lives filmmaker has been hired to pen a follow-up to the film, which starred Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz, and Rupert Everett.
The news was first reported by Collider, and comes after actor Dermot Mulroney, who co-starred in the original, recently hinted that a sequel was being discussed. The original film, about a food critic who plots to sabotage her best friend's wedding, earned nearly $300m worldwide.
Song, who earned an Oscar nomination for best original screenplay for Past Lives, recently directed the romantic comedy Materialists, starring Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans. Roberts has previously expressed interest in reprising her role, and is currently preparing for upcoming films including Luca Guadagnino's thriller After the Hunt.
My Best Friend's Wedding 2 joins a wave of sequels reviving 1990s films, including the recent release of Happy Gilmore 2 and Freakier Friday, due next month.
