Andrew Ahn’s The Wedding Banquet has unveiled its first teaser trailer, fresh off its warm reception following its Sundance debut.
The remake of the beloved 1993 film boasts an all-star cast and is set for release this Spring. Writer/director Ahn co-wrote this updated version on Ang Lee’s The Wedding Banquet with original co-screenwriter James Schamus, who co-wrote the 1993 film with Lee.
The film stars Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, Hang Gi-Chan, Joan Chen, and Youn Yuh-Jung. Check out the teaser below…
The official synopsis for the feature reads: “Angela (Kelly Marie Tran) and her partner Lee (Gladstone) have been unlucky with their IVF treatments but can’t afford to pay for another round. Meanwhile, their friend Min (Han Gi-chan), 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 (Yang) 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.”
The Wedding Banquet premieres April 18 in theaters.
