It’s wedding season soon and what could put you more in the mood than to gather the hen parties currently wandering the UK’s windswept coastal cities, wearing specially printed t-shirts and encourage them to rest their weary feet, cease the search for ‘somewhere good that does cosmopolitans’ and sit down to watch Bridesmaids with you.
However, don’t expect a sequel to the hit 2011 film starring Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph and Melissa McCarthy any time soon. Speaking at the Tribeca Film Festival, director Paul Feig discussed the possibility of a sequel, saying that it is “really up to Kristen” who played lead character Annie and co-wrote the script. Paul Feig also divulged his belief that “sequels are dangerous.”
“People always say they want a sequel to Bridesmaids, but the whole reason that movie worked was [the main character] is a mess and she learned how to repair her life, so you can’t do a sequel and she’s a mess and has to repair her life again,
“People tend to think the artifice around all that is what made the movie great, but it was really that emotional journey. And so you almost kind of have to be careful of [sequels]. “
