HBO Max is behind a modern version of the romantic comedy “Father of The Bride.” Andy Garcia, likely best known for Steven Soderbergh‘s “Oceans” movies, is playing the titular father, Billy. Garcia has been paired up with pop music icon Gloria Estefan as Billy’s wife Ingrid as he begrudgingly goes along with the speedy wedding.
They’ve now released a brand new trailer (see below) and the film is coming next month, so you won’t have to wait too long to watch the comedy.
The new bride is played by actress Adria Arjona, who has been recently seen in Sony‘s “Morbius,” HBO‘s “True Detective,” “Triple Frontier,” and has joined the “Star Wars” universe with the upcoming “Andor” series alongside Deigo Luna. Playing her future hubby is actor Diego Boneta from “Terminator: Dark Fate.”
Gary Alazraki directed the new film from a script penned by screenwriter Matt Lopez.
Steve Martin and Diane Keaton‘s 1991 incarnation of “Father of The Bride” was a remake of the 1950 Spencer Tracy film and is based on the Edward Streeter book that was published in 1949, so a modern remake is well-timed.
The streaming service has also provided a synopsis for the pic:
Billy and Ingrid are surprised when their eldest daughter Sofia comes home to Miami for a visit, announcing a new boyfriend, Adan—who is now her fiancé—and their plans for a wedding and a new life together in Mexico. Family relationships are tested as the roller coaster ride of wedding planning races toward the altar. This sparkling story of a modern rom-com updated from a timeless classic illustrates the surprising and funny ways the heart can adapt in the name of love.
“Father of The Bride” hits HBO Max on June 16 and you can watch the new trailer below.
