Andy Garcia To Star in WB's Reboot of FATHER OF THE BRIDE
As you may have already heard, Warner Bros. is developing another reboot/remake of Father of the Bride, and it’s now been announced that Andy Garcia is set to star in it.
The film will tell the story of “a father coming to grips with his daughter’s upcoming wedding through the prism of multiple relationships within a big, sprawling Cuban-American family. “ It’s said that this version of the story will be more of a rom-com than previous versions of the movie.
Garcia is a great actor and he always tends to give wonderful performances in the films he stars in. He said in a statement:
“I’m very excited to join The Father of the Bride, a beloved film that has brought so much joy to so many over the years and to represent my Cuban culture and heritage in this story. I commend Warner Bros. for their foresight and celebrate this opportunity they have created. I am looking forward to my collaboration with our talented director Gaz Alazraki and producers Jeremy Kleiner and Dede Gardner from Plan B. “
This is the third version of the Father of the Bride story and it will be more “in the vein of the original Spencer Tracy pic and not the Steve Martin franchise from the 1990s.”
The Father of the Bride reboot will be directed by Gaz Alazraki from a script written by Matt Lopez.
