It’s been a bit of a weird year for Patrick Stewart. First, he voices poop in “The Emoji Movie,” and now he has a quite ungodly mane of hair in the upcoming comedy “The Wilde Wedding.” As you might guess from the title, it’s about a wedding that gets wild, in the way they only do at the movies.
Also starring Glenn Close, John Malkovich, Minnie Driver, Jack Davenport, Yael Stone, Peter Facinelli, Noah Emmerich, and Grace Van Patten, the story follows an aging actress who is getting ready to marry her new beau, but when she invites her ex-husband to the nuptials, things get wacky. Here’s the official synopsis:
In THE WILDE WEDDING, now-retired film star Eve Wilde (Glenn Close) prepares for her wedding to husband number four, renowned English writer Harold Alcott (Patrick Stewart) after a whirlwind courtship. At her upstate New York home – in the presence of both Wilde’s first husband, celebrated stage actor Laurence Darling (John Malkovich), and their collective families (Minnie Driver, Jack Davenport, Yael Stone, Peter Facinelli, Noah Emmerich, Grace Van Patten) – the long summer weekend offers the opportunity for everyone to get to know each other a bit more intimately. As sexual sparks begin to fly, there are unforeseen consequences abound.
I don’t have much else to say about this because I can’t stop marveling at Patrick Stewart’s head of hair.
“The Wilde Wedding” opens on September 15th.
