First look at 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' charity sequel revealed
The cast of Richard Curtis’ iconic rom-com Four Weddings and a Funeral have reunited for a Red Nose Day special in aid of Comic Relief, and now we’ve got our first look at the characters together for the first time in 25 years.
Featuring Andie MacDowell, Hugh Grant, Kristin Scott Thomas and more, the first image shows the starry cast in their best wedding attire, but its only James Fleet’s Tom who appears to be wearing a typical Morning suit – is he the one getting married?
Comic Relief has confirmed the quasi-sequel – now titled One Red Nose Day and a Wedding – will premiere exclusively during Red Nose Day 2019 on BBC One on Friday, 15 March.
Richard Curtis, who wrote the original film and is the co-founder of Red Nose Day, has written the short especially for the 2019 edition of Red Nose Day.
One Red Nose Day and a Wedding will feature original Four Weddings cast members Hugh Grant, Andie MacDowell, Kristin Scott Thomas, John Hannah, Rowan Atkinson, James Fleet, David Haig, Sophie Thompson, David Bower, Robin McCaffrey, Anna Chancellor, Rupert Vansittart, Simon Kunz, Sara Crowe and Timothy Walker. They will be joined in the short film by some very special guest stars.
Four Weddings director Mike Newell is returning to direct this new instalment, which picks up 25 years after the original film.
One Red Nose Day and a Wedding follows on from the huge success of Red Nose Day Actually, a short follow up to Love Actually that premiered during Red Nose Day’s 2017 edition.
One Red Nose Day and a Wedding is a one off special that will premiere exclusively during Red Nose Day 2019 on BBC One on Friday, 15 March. It will also feature as part of NBC’s programming for Red Nose Day USA on Thursday, 23 May.
Four Weddings and a Funeral was a global sensation when it released in 1994, launching the Hollywood careers of Hugh Grant, Richard Curtis, John Hannah and more. It won four BAFTAs including Best Film and Best Actor for Grant, who also won a Golden Globe for his performance as the floppy-haired Charles.
It was also nominated for two Oscars including Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay for Curtis.
