Ahead of its theatrical release next month, IFC Films has debuted a new trailer for director Michael Winterbottom’s upcoming thriller The Wedding Guest which stars Dev Patel as a man who travels to Pakistan to attend a wedding, with the intention of kidnapping the bride-to-be, played by Radhika Apte; watch it here…
This propulsive, globetrotting thriller from acclaimed director Michael Winterbottom is a breathless tour through the shadowy underworlds and hidden realms of Pakistan and India. Jay (Slumdog Millionaire’s Dev Patel) is a man with a secret who travels from Britain to Pakistan to attend a wedding—armed with duct tape, a shotgun, and a plan to kidnap the bride-to-be (Radhika Apte). Despite his cool efficiency, the plot quickly spirals out of control, sending Jay and his hostage on the run across the border and through the railway stations, back alleys, and black markets of New Delhi—as all the while attractions simmer, loyalties shift, and explosive secrets are revealed. Pulsating with the sights and sounds of the Indian subcontinent, The Wedding Guest conjures a colorful world where danger lurks at every turn and nothing is as it seems.
The Wedding Guest is set for release on March 1st.
