Dermot Mulroney Teases "My Best Friend's Wedding" Sequel
Yara Sameh After nearly 30 years, one of the most beloved romantic-comedies of the '90s might be receiving the sequel treatment. Dermot Mulroney recently revealed 'there is talk of a sequel' to his 1997 P.J. Hogan-helmed "My Best Friend's Wedding", in which he co-starred with Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz, and Rupert Everett. 'I know nothing about it,' the actor clarified to the New York Post . 'Last I heard, quote, lawyers were talking, unquote.' "My Best Friend's Wedding" stars Roberts and Mulroney as Julianne and Michael, childhood friends who made a deal to marry each other if they were both still single by 28. Days before her 28th birthday, Michael announces he's marrying 20-year-old Kimberly (Diaz), forcing Julianne to realize she's in love with her best friend, subsequently plotting to ruin the wedding. In 2023, Roberts expressed interest in reprising her role as Jules when asked which title from her filmography she'd like to see get a sequel. 'I think, maybe, My Best Friend's Wedding,' she said on Watch What Happens Live. 'Because there's so many people in it, and to see what they're doing and how Kimmy and Michael's marriage is going,' added Roberts, before revealing whom she thinks Michael should have chosen: 'Well, I mean, of course, Jules. But he married Kimmy.' With Diaz coming out of her 11-year acting retirement to star in Netflix's "Back in Action" this year, perhaps the four-time Golden Globes nominee will be up for the sequel as well. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
