A remake of Ang Lee's 1993 film The Wedding Banquet has reportedly found its cast. Bowen Yang, Youn-Yuh Jung, Joan Chen, Kelly Marie Tran, and Lily Gladstone will star. Andrew Ahn (Fire Island) will direct and co-wrote the script with James Schamus.
The plot: “Min, whose marriage proposal is rejected by his boyfriend Chris (Yang), convinces his best friend Angela (Tran) to marry him for his green card. He offers to pay for the IVF treatment of the latter’s partner, Liz (Gladstone), in return. Although Min and Angela plan a 'subtle city hall elopement,' their lives are turned upside down when the former’s grandmother arrives in Seattle to throw them an extravagant Korean wedding banquet.”
Casting is still underway for the lead role of Min. Filming is scheduled to begin at the end of May in Vancouver.
