MarVista Entertainment, a FOX Entertainment company, and Particular Crown have started production on the feature film comedy Daughter of the Bride (wt), starring Academy Award winner and nominee, Marcia Gay Harden (Pollock, Mystic River, Into the Wild, The Morning Show, The Newsroom), Halston Sage (Paper Towns, Neighbors, Before I Fall, X-Men: Dark Phoenix, The Last Summer), Andrew Richardson (The Independent, Killer Among Us, A Call to Spy) and Emmy Award nominee Aidan Quinn (Practical Magic, Legends of the Fall, Elementary, Law& Order: SVU, The American Guest).
With an original screenplay written by Karen Bloch Morse (Ice Castles, American Girl: Lea to the Rescue, Same Time, Next Christmas) and directed by Annette Haywood Carter (Savannah, Foxfire), Daughter of the Bride (wt) centers on Diane (Harden) and Kate (Sage) — mother and daughter and inseparable friends. Their lives are turned upside down, however, when mom announces her engagement to a mystery man (Quinn) whom she’s been dating for only a few weeks.
In a series of comical events, Kate must come to terms with letting her mother be happy with someone else while she navigates her own love life and career aspirations. Kate subconsciously tries to sabotage the wedding plans, despite officiating it, and unexpectedly meets a mystery man (Richardson) of her own that seems too good to be true.
