Don’t panic: this isn’t Bride Wars 2. Bridemaids is looking far, far more interesting…
If you've written off Bridesmaids as another throwaway rom-com before you've got to the poster, then here might be the point where you get interested in the movie. Because this upcoming comedy from Universal has something of a pedigree to it.
Firstly, it's produced by Judd Apatow. Appreciating that Apatow isn't everyone's cup of tea, he's been responsible nonetheless for some of the most successful (and, I'll say it, funniest) comedies of the past few years. Secondly, though, it's directed by Paul Feig.
Apatow and Feig together? If the Freaks And Geeks light in your head hasn't gone off yet, then you need to go and buy a boxset of one of the very best television series of the past 20 years. It's a show that never really had much exposure in the UK, and was canned inside a season in the US. But it's an outstanding, funny, and really quite moving show, that launched the careers of James Franco, Seth Rogen, Martin Starr and Jason Segel.
Paul Feig created the show and Judd Apatow produced it with him.
But there's a further reason to get excited about Bridesmaids. And that's Kristen Wiig. Not only is she starring as a maid of honour, who has to battle it out with other bridesmaids for the attention of the bride, but Wiig has also written the script (along with Annie Mumolo).
We're in.
Which leads us to the first poster for the movie that you can see below. We'd suspect it's the trailer that's going to help this one, but we're keen to give the movie a push, for the reasons outlined above. It's at least worth marking on your radar as a possible, we'd suggest...
The film arrives in the US on 13th May, and the UK on 24th June. It is out in Malaysia on 7th July, too, in case you're interested.
