Watch The Wedding Banquet's first trailer, a joyful remake of a queer classic
The Wedding Banquet
Kelly Marie Tran, Lily Gladstone, Bowen Yang, Han Gi-chan, Youn Yuh-jung, and Joan Chen star in Andrew Ahn's remake of a gay classic.
Get ready for a wedding, Andrew Ahn style!
The director of Fire Island is back with an all-new rom-com, The Wedding Banquet, starring a lineup of some of the biggest stars in Hollywood.
The Wedding Banquet is a reshaping of the 1993 Ang Lee classic, co-written by the original film's writer James Schamus. The new version brings together three of today's biggest queer stars with some film legends and an exciting new face in a cast that delivers on both laughs and love.
It stars Kelly Marie Tran (Star Wars: The Last Jedi) as Angela, Oscar nominee Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon) as Lee, Bowen Yang as Chris, and Korean actor Han Gi-chan in his English-language debut as Min, as well as Oscar winner Youn Yuh-jung (Minari) and Joan Chen (Saving Face).
"Angela and her partner Lee have been unlucky with their IVF treatments, but can’t afford to pay for another round. Meanwhile their friend Min, the closeted scion of a multinational corporate empire, has plenty of family money but a soon-to-expire student visa," the synopsis reads. "When his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris 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 trailer introduces the plot of the film and shows some of the laughs audiences can expect, as well as scenes from a traditional Korean wedding ceremony.
In Out's review of the film at the Sundance Film Festival, we called it Ahn's career best work and said it takes a "radical approach to love, connection, and joy."
The Wedding Banquet is in theaters April 18.
