A Beloved Julia Roberts Movie Is Getting A Sequel, And I’m All In Over Who’s Already Involved

by

Julia Roberts has an impressive filmography, yet she’s never appeared in a sequel. However, this could potentially shift as rumors suggest that Sony is developing a sequel to the 1997 movie “My Best Friend’s Wedding”, titled “My Best Friend’s Wedding 2”. I can’t help but discuss this intriguing news!

I’m All Over Celine Song Making A Sequel To My Best Friend’s Wedding

Lately, there has been a trend of classic films from the 1990s and early 2000s receiving big-budget sequels. For instance, Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep are working on the second installment of “The Devil Wears Prada,” and Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are both involved in “Practical Magic 2.” According to Collider, a highly-anticipated romantic comedy from Julia Roberts’ past might be next.

Currently, only Celine Song’s name is associated with this project. She recently released her second film titled “Materialists,” featuring stars such as Chris Evans, Dakota Johnson, and Pedro Pascal. Our review of the movie awarded it a perfect score of five out of five, praising Song’s skillful exploration of modern dating and love in her innovative romantic film. This new release is a sequel to her 2023 debut, “Past Lives,” which has already gained popularity among film enthusiasts.

In the initial stages of the sequel to “My Best Friend’s Wedding”, there’s a lot of excitement due to Celine Song’s involvement. This talented director could potentially bring Julia Roberts back for another round, and that’s intriguing. Moreover, it offers a chance for a genuinely enjoyable sequel instead of one that seems like a money-making scheme. Known for her knack for creating compelling romance narratives, Celine Song’s perspective on the characters 25 years later has me hooked already.

What Could Happen In A Best Friend’s Wedding Sequel?

This thought leads me to pondering the possibility of a sequel for the movie “Best Friend’s Wedding.” In the original film, the characters played by Roberts and Dermot Mulroney were lifelong friends who had made a deal that they would marry each other if neither found a partner before their 28th birthday. However, in the weeks leading up to Jules’ 28th birthday, Michael calls her to inform her of his upcoming marriage. Unable to accept this, Jules decides to try and derail the wedding, culminating in Michael marrying Kimmy (played by Cameron Diaz).

Julia Roberts has expressed that her perspective on the character has evolved since filming the movie, labeling Jules as a “questionably shady character.” This intrigues me as to how the actress might delve deeper into this aspect for a potential sequel. Perhaps Michael seeks refuge with Jules following issues in his relationship with Kimmy, causing Kimmy to become the one plotting sabotage instead?

In recent times, Dermot Mulroney shared some insights about the potential sequel to the 1997 film with The New York Post, indicating that discussions about a follow-up are underway. Fingers crossed, I truly look forward to seeing Celine Song and the original cast reunite in this hypothetical sequel.
