The Banks family is again! The cast of Father of the Bride reunited for a mini sequel to benefit a worthy cause amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Steve Martin (George Banks), Diane Keaton (Nina Banks), Kimberly Williams-Paisley (Annie Banks), Kieran Culkin (Matty Banks), George Newbern (Bryan MacKenzie) and Martin Short (Franck Eggelhoffer) reprised their beloved roles from the 1991 film and its 1995 follow-up, Father of the Bride Part II.
The particular event, dubbed Father of the Bride Part 3 (ish), aired on Netflix’s YouTube and Facebook channels on Friday, September 25. The continuation, written and directed by Nancy Meyers, benefitted World Central Kitchen, which supplies meals for children and families impacted by means of the coronavirus disaster.
Reese Witherspoon presented the segment, which saw Matty marrying his fiancé, Rachel (Alexandra Shipp), via Zoom. Annie’s son, George (Ben Platt), George and Nina’s youngest daughter, Megan (Florence Pugh), and Rachel’s dad (Robert De Niro) joined the festivities as Franck officiated the nuptials.
Fans also won updates on the Banks. Matty is a comedy writer, George is retired and the circle of relatives never in truth moved out of their liked colonial house.
Netflix teased in a trailer launched on Thursday, September 24, that the reunion could be set in 2020. “George, we’re all right here, come on. George, Matty mentioned it was vital,” Keaton’s Nina yelled, to which Martin’s personality answered, “I’m simply washing my palms. One more ‘Happy Birthday’ to move!”
Newbern, 55, hinted in October 2017 that a third film may come to fruition in the close to future. “[Director] Charles Shyer wrote a script. I know there’s a script out there. And there’s communicate,” the actor exclusively instructed Us Weekly at the time. “I don’t understand how some distance it got but I’m positive most of the cast can be into it if the script used to be proper. So possibly that’s just a query of that happening.”
He added: “I've heard some [ideas] and they're beautiful some distance out there. From what I heard it was once beautiful excellent and different and newsworthy.”
Williams-Paisley, 49, for her section, reflected on her life-changing function in April 2017. “Almost each day, people tell me that Father of the Bride is part of their history,” she wrote in an essay for ABC News. “Fathers see the movie with their daughters and weep over recollections of way back yard basketball scrimmages. Brides watch it as a ceremony of passage ahead of their wedding ceremony day. Couples frequently romanticize it as ‘their movie.’”
