Julia Roberts Says She’s in Talks for a ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’ Sequel

Her confirmation signals early movement on a follow-up being written by Celine Song, with no deals or timeline set.

Overview

  • Roberts told Variety, “They’re talking to me,” when asked if she had been approached about returning to the 1997 rom-com.
  • Director Luca Guadagnino, interviewed alongside Roberts, said he would direct a sequel “in a second.”
  • The project was reported in July to be in early development, with Past Lives filmmaker Celine Song attached to write the screenplay.
  • No cast agreements, director attachment, or production plans have been announced as legal and contractual discussions continue.
  • Dermot Mulroney has alternated between noting there was talk of a sequel and saying he knew nothing beyond hearing that “lawyers were talking,” while the original film was a box-office hit with three Golden Globe nominations.
