Two-time Emmy winner and five-time Golden Globe nominee Jeff Daniels (The Newsroom, Dumb and Dumber) has been set to lead comedy The Reception, about a chaotic Scottish wedding. Trudie Styler (Up Against It) is directing, and Beta Cinema is launching international sales at this week’s TIFF market.

The synopsis for the film reads: “Set at a grand Scottish estate, a wedding party proceeds despite the unfortunate absence of the bride and groom. Felix has abandoned Victoria at the altar, leaving their parents, family and friends to navigate a lavish but increasingly chaotic reception.

“What begins as an attempt to keep up appearances spirals into a day of calamity, hilarity, and unexpected connections, as the in-laws, staff, and guests confront their own relationships amidst the fallout.”

Pre-production is underway, with filming set to begin next month and additional high-end cast being finalized now. The movie will shoot in a castle near the famous Loch Ness, just outside Inverness in Scotland.
