Lily Gladstone has joined the cast of Andrew Ahn's 'The Wedding Banquet,' a remake of Ang Lee's 1993 romantic comedy of the same name. Gladstone will star alongside Bowen Yang, Kelly Marie Tran, Joan Chen, and Youn Yuh-jung. Ahn wrote the screenplay with James Schamus. The film's shooting will start in Vancouver, British Columbia, on or around May 27 and last until June 28

 

The plot revolves around Min, whose marriage proposal is rejected by his boyfriend Chris (Yang). Min then convinces his best friend Angela (Marie Tran) to marry him for his green card and offers to pay for the IVF treatment of the latter's partner, Liz (Gladstone), in return. Although Min and Angela plan a "subtle city hall elopement," their lives are turned upside down when the former's grandmother arrives in Seattle to throw them an extravagant Korean wedding banquet.

 

Casting is currently underway for Min, who is a Korean queer man who is about to finish his Master's in Fine Arts. With a keen eye for fashion, he is someone who can boast K-pop star looks while wearing his heart on his very expensive sleeves. Even though he is a "bit of a hot mess" at times and his sense of humor is dorky, Min is highly lively. As far as his career is concerned, his grandmother is ready to find a position for him in their family's Korean conglomerate but only if he remains in the closet.

It's a shame the actress from the original came out against same sex marriage in her country.
