Ryan Reynolds Is Set to Star in Action-Romantic-Comedy SHOTGUN WEDDING
Ryan Reynolds has signed on with Lionsgate and Mandeville Films, as well as his own Maximum Effort to bring us a new action-rom-com directed by Pitch Perfect and Sisters director Jason Moore, entitled Shotgun Wedding. Reynolds is teaming back up with Lionsgate after his hit action-comedy The Hitman’s Bodyguard. Filming is scheduled to begin this summer. Here’s a little synopsis from Deadline:
“…the action rom-com will follow a couple whose extravagant destination wedding is taken over by criminals. In the process of saving their families, they rediscover why they wanted to get married in the first place. Casting is underway for the female lead and additional roles.”
That sounds like a really fun movie! Here’s what Reynolds had to say about it:
“I haven’t done a romantic comedy since The Proposal but I just fell in love with Shotgun Wedding. It’s so refreshing and surprising. I can’t wait to bring it to life with Jason, Todd, Dave and the great team at Lionsgate.”
That’s a pretty great endorsement of the story and script. It will be fun to see who else they cast in the film and what crazy shenanigans they pull off. It sounds kind of like Date Night, which I loved, and Ryan Reynolds is always a good time, so I’m excited for this one for sure!
Does this sound like a movie you’d get into?
