Bleecker Street has unveiled the teaser trailer for the romantic comedy The Wedding Banquet [TWEDB], a remake of the 1993 film by Ang Lee. Bowen Yang [BYANG], Lily Gladstone [LGLAD], Kelly Marie Tran [KMTRA], Han Gi-chan, Joan Chen [JCHEN], and Academy Award winner Youn Yuh-jung star in the updated version. The Wedding Banquet hits theaters on APril 18th.
From Director Andrew Ahn comes a joyful comedy of errors about a chosen family navigating the disasters and delights of family expectations, queerness, and cultural identity. Angela and her partner Lee have been unlucky with their IVF treatments, but can’t afford to pay for another round. Meanwhile their friend Min, the closeted scion of a multinational corporate empire, has plenty of family money but a soon-to-expire student visa. When his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris rejects his proposal, Min makes the offer to Angela instead: a green card marriage in exchange for funding Lee’s IVF. But their plans to quietly elope are upended when Min’s skeptical grandmother flies in from Korea unannounced, insisting on an all-out wedding extravaganza.
