The Lionsgate action-comedy movie is directed by Jason Moore and written by Liz Meriwether and Mark Hammer.

"Shotgun Wedding" revolves around a couple gathering their lovable but very opinionated families for the ultimate destination wedding, and as they begin to get cold feet, suddenly, everyone’s lives are in danger when the entire party is taken, hostage.

Duhamel replaced Armie Hammer, who had previously replaced Ryan Reynolds in the role of groom.

Lopez will also be seen in “Marry Me“, starring Owen Wilson.

The romantic comedy was originally set for release in early February 2021, however, it was pushed to May due to the Coronavirus pandemic. It was then moved from its most recent date of May 14, 2021, to February 11, 2022.

The movie, based on the graphic novel of the same name by Bobby Crosby, centers around a pop star (Lopez), who is about to get married to her rockstar fiancee (Maluma) during a massive event at Madison Square Garden, however, moments before exchanging vows, learns he’s been cheating on her with her assistant.

After an on-stage meltdown, she picks a random man out of the crowd, a porced math teacher (Wilson) to marry instead.

Lopez and Wilson were both spotted frequently filming the rom-com in New York City between October and November 2019.

“Marry Me” includes numerous original songs by both Lopez and Maluma, which will be featured on the soundtrack.

The movie also stars Sarah Silverman, John Bradley, Chloe Coleman, Stephen Wallem, Jameela Jamil, and Jimmy Fallon as himself.

“Marry Me” is directed by Kat Coiro from a screenplay by John Rogers, Tami Sagher, and Harper Dill.

Lopez is also producing the production alongside her Nuyorican Productions partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Rogers.

“Marry Me” is just the latest movie to be pushed out of 2021 due to the ongoing pandemic.
