“That is the promise that I made!” Vertigo Releasing has unveiled an official trailer for an amusing romantic comedy film called And Mrs, from director Daniel Reisinger. Set for a UK release this fall after premiering at the 2024 Edinburgh Film Festival coming up in August (though no US release set yet). When a reluctant bride-to-be’s fiance drops dead, she insists on marrying him anyway – vowing to overcome public opinion, the law of the land, and her loved one’s objections. Apparently marrying someone posthumously is actually allowed in France, but not in the UK. Aisling Bea stars as Gemma, joined by Colin Hanks, Billie Lourd, Susan Wokoma, Harriet Walter, and Elizabeth McGovern. The director explains: “Gemma’s quest to marry Nathan is about a good old-fashioned forever love – one that’s beyond swiping right or left. And Mrs lets you laugh about love and grief like touchstone films, The Big Chill or Four Weddings and a Funeral. At the same time, the writer Melissa & I are both Aussie, and we see the parallels to the classic comedy Muriel’s Wedding.” This is a rather strange trailer, and ghost Colin Hanks doesn’t help make it any less kooky either.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Daniel Reisinger’s film And Mrs, direct from YouTube:
A hilarious and heartfelt comedy drama about Gemma, a woman living in London whose American fiancé, Nathan, dies shortly before their wedding day. Never a true believer in modern marriage, his death makes Gemma re-evaluate the promise of a life spent together. When, with some encouragement from Nathan’s chaotic and unconventional sister, Audrey, she decides to go ahead with the wedding anyway, she has to overcome public opinion, the law of the land and even her own family’s objections for the right to finally say “I do”. And Mrs is directed by the Australian writer / filmmaker Daniel Reisinger, making his feature directorial debut after numerous short films and the series “Players” previously. The screenplay is written by Melissa Bubnic. Produced by Michael D’Alto, Dan Hine, Simon Horsman, and Jeffrey Soros. This is set to premiere at the 2024 Edinburgh Film Festival coming soon. Vertigo Releasing will then debut Reisinger’s And Mrs in UK cinemas starting September 2nd, 2024 this fall. No US release date is set yet – stay tuned.
