About My Best Friend’s Wedding:
In the iconic movie My Best Friend’s Wedding, Julia Roberts played the role of Julianne Potter, starring opposite Dermot Mulroney’s character Michael O'Neal. Jullianne is a food critic and the best friend of Michael, who is about to marry Kimberly Wallace, played by Cameron Diaz. This American rom-com dives into the themes of friendship complexities and unrequited love as Julliane gets scared at the thought of losing her best friend while he gets married to another woman.
Just days before Michael’s marriage, Jullianne realises her depth of love for her best friend, and tries to find ways to win him back. The movie has one of the most shocking endings, as the ‘other woman’ doesn’t lose the man, and still nobody gets wronged.
On the work front, the critically acclaimed director Celine Song, who has earned Academy Award nominations for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay for her movie Past Lives will be taking the rom-com’s journey forward. Her latest movie Materialists, which starred Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans, was recently released on June 13, 2025.
