The remake will follow the story of Min after his boyfriend Chris rejects his marriage proposal. Min asks his friend Angela to marry him instead, and promises to pay for her partner Liz’s IVF treatments in exchange for his green card. However, like in the original, the surprise arrival of Min’s relatives causes the charade to fall apart.
Yang, a Saturday Night Live cast member, has been cast in a lead role alongside Gladstone, best known for her roles in Reservation Dogs and Killers of the Flower Moon. The film will also feature Kelly Marie Tran, Joan Chen, and Oscar winner Yuh-jung Youn.
“I’m delighted to re-team with my longtime friend and colleague, James Schamus, on this inspired reimagining of a classic rom-com for the modern era,” said executive producer Andrew Karpen, founder and CEO of production company Bleecker Street. “Andrew Ahn is a force to be reckoned with and I’m very excited to see the new heights that he and James will take this story to.”
