First Look at 'The Wedding Banquet' Remake Starring Lily Gladstone and Bowen Yang

Andrew Ahn reimagines Ang Lee's 1993 queer rom-com classic with a modern ensemble cast and a fresh take on cultural and LGBTQ+ themes.

Director Andrew Ahn collaborates with James Schamus, co-writer of the original 1993 film, to create a contemporary reimagining of 'The Wedding Banquet.'
The story follows a fake marriage between Min (Han Gi-chan) and Angela (Kelly Marie Tran) to secure a green card and fund IVF treatments for Angela and her partner Liz (Lily Gladstone).
The remake explores themes of chosen family, cultural identity, and queer relationships, set against the backdrop of a lavish Korean wedding banquet in Seattle.
The cast includes Bowen Yang, Youn Yuh-jung, Joan Chen, and Han Gi-chan, with Kelly Marie Tran publicly sharing her excitement about representing her own queer identity in the film.
Scheduled for a 2025 release, the film aims to honor the original's legacy while reflecting modern queer visibility and evolving traditions.
