Amanda Seyfried to Star in Movie "My Ex-Friend's Wedding"

Sony has landed global rights to the Sister comedy movie "My Ex-Friend’s Wedding".

The cast also includes Academy Award winner Ariana DeBose (West Side Story), Chloe Fineman (SNL), Megan Stalter (Hacks)).

Kay Cannon directs the pic from a screenplay penned by New York Times bestselling author Taylor Jenkins Reid (Daisy Jones & The Six) and Ashley Rodger, with revisions by Cannon.

The movie heads into production this summer. 

"My Ex-Friend’s Wedding" follows four childhood best friends getting a drunken voicemail from their former best friend on the eve of her wedding day, confessing that she thinks she’s making a mistake. They set out to stop her wedding and rekindle the friendship they once shared.

Sister acquired the movie's spec script in a competitive situation after it was developed by the production and management company, Circle of Confusion.

 Producers will include Sister Co-Founder and Global CEO Stacey Snider, Deb Hayward, Circle of Confusion’s Brad Mendelsohn and Katie Abbott, K&L Productions’ Cannon and Laverne McKinnon, Rodger, and Reid. SVP Development and Production Elizabeth Grave is overseeing the project for Sony Pictures.

Virginia Longmuir negotiated the deal for Sony’s Stage 6 Films with FilmNation Entertainment and WME Independent on behalf of the filmmakers.
