If Hollywood is to believed, no wedding ever comes off without someone outside the to-be wedded couple declaring his or her love for the bride or groom. Maybe more people should consider eloping.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jason Reitman will produce “The Wedding”, though he’s yet to line up a director, financing, or distribution. The film tells the story of a twenty-something (Jesse Eisenberg) is currently attached) obsessed with an slightly older woman (Anna Friel) to the point where he crashes her wedding. The movie is being billed as a romantic comedy, umm, naturally.
Plots details may be sketchy so far, but that’s an intriguing lineup of names. Eisenberg’s turns in “The Squid And The Whale” and the upcoming “Adventureland” for Greg Mottola in March, 2009, suggest he’s carving out a niche for himself as the social misfit in love, Anna Friel co-starred in the fantastic (and cruelly-cancelled) “Pushing Daisies,” and with “Juno,” Reitman proved he knows a thing or two about find the humor in relationships. – Jared Weiss
I'm glad to see Anna Friel get some love (as an object of affection, no less). But I've never thought of Eisenberg as an enjoyable-to-watch actor (which is partly to his credit in "The Squid & The Whale").
