Katherine Heigl says she's ‘in talks' to do a ‘27 Dresses' sequel
Katherine Heigl appears ready to always be the bridesmaid and never the bride – again.
The actress, dog food maven and mom of three recently spoke to E! News about a sequel to her beloved 2008 romantic comedy, and teased that there's a reason to hope that it'll walk down the aisle at some point in the future.
'I think that we're in talks about a '27 Dresses' sequel, which, if done right and with that cast I love so much, would definitely be something I'd be willing to sort of compromise the mom time to do,' Heigl shared.
'It would have to be done right, but you don't want to diminish the first one at all,' she continued. 'You want to add to it. So, if we can do that and pull it off, I think that would be really fun. And I think they're working on that.'
In '27 Dresses,' Heigl played Jane, a 27-time bridesmaid who must again serve in someone else's wedding – her sister's – who is marrying her boss and crush.
The film also starred Judy Greer, Malin Akerman, Krysten Ritter and Edward Burns.
Heigl – who most recently was seen opposite Sarah Chalke in Netflix's 'Firefly Lane' – isn't the only one who is open to a '27 Dresses' sequel.
James Marsden, who played her love interest in the movie, said to 'bring it on' in 2023.
'That movie weirdly has legs that I'm not sure I anticipated it having,' he added at the time. 'Just a fanbase that people – when they talk about romantic comedies – you don't really see too many of those made nowadays.'

In ‘Dept. Q,' Netflix continues a trend of finding hits across the globe
Based on Jussi Adler-Olsen's novel 'The Keeper of Lost Causes,' and created by Scott Frank (who brought a similar storytelling verve to his breakout 2020 Netflix limited series ' Yes, the streamer cranks out its share of dross, especially in the true crime genre. But it also has a history of success with programming from across the globe, including the likes of 'Baby Reindeer' (from Scotsman Richard Gadd), 'Adolescence' (from Englishman Stephen Graham), 'Squid Game' (South Korea, Hwang Dong Hyuk), ' Advertisement In movie terms, you could think of 'Dept. Q' as a descendent of the Euro American art film — think Michelangelo Antonioni's 'Blow-Up' (1966), or Wim Wenders's 'Paris, Texas' (1984). But such a description doesn't do justice to the show's fiendishly entertaining flavor. As grim as it can get, 'Dept. Q' offers a world of viewing pleasure.

Former OceanGate employees slam Titan sub disaster company CEO in new doc: ‘Borderline clinical psychopath'
A damning new documentary condemns Stockton Rush, the founder and CEO of OceanGate, the defunct company whose Titan submersible imploded in the Atlantic Ocean June 2023. Former employees allege in 'Titan: The OceanGate Disaster' on Netflix that their boss' self-absorption and consistent willful negligence tragically led to the death of the five passengers, including Rush — a news story that captured the entire world's attention for days. 'I worked for somebody that is probably [a] borderline clinical psychopath,' said former OceanGate engineer Tony Nissen. 6 The late OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush is ripped by former employees in 'TItan: The OceanGate Disaster.' Courtesy of Netflix 'He wanted to be a Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk,' said Bonnie Carl, director of finance and administration, in the doc. 'He referred to those guys as 'big swingin' dicks,' and he loved that term and used it all the time.' Engineering project manager Emily Hammermeister added that repeatedly expressed safety concerns by workers with years of expertise fell on deaf ears and Rush's tunnel vision. 'Stockton was just so set on getting to the Titanic that nothing that anybody said made much of a difference,' she said. Rush was a wealthy California-born engineer who loved 'Star Wars' and 'Star Trek.' He co-founded OceanGate in 2009 with the goal of bringing deep sea exploration to the public — especially dives to the Titanic. In pursuit of his pipe dream, he decided to create the first submersible made from carbon fiber, a strong and cheap material consisting of many small strands. 'It's not like metal,' said Wired journalist Mark Harris, who profiled Rush. 'You know, titanium is extremely well understood. Carbon fiber is far more idiosyncratic in that the little fibers inside there can snap.' 6 Rush aimed to take paying passengers down to the Titanic in cheaply made submerssibles. Courtesy of Netflix Knowing the risks, OceanGate engineers built sensors into the hull — a series of small microphones — to alert people in the sub if there were breaches to the carbon fiber so they could quickly surface. In theory. 'The monitoring system for the hull was something that was dreamt up by OceanGate to try and give some comfort to people who were asking too many questions,' said submersible operations expert Rob McCallum. The film terrifyingly shows years of pressure tests conducted on the sub in which the hull cracked and the vehicle imploded. 'Pop' noises of breaks are loud and frequent — portending the loss of life that was to come. 6 Titan's hull was made of carbon fiber. Courtesy of Brian Weed 'I just can't believe it,' Rush angrily reacted during a trial five years before their first dive. 'We couldn't even get past f–king 4,300 PSI.' Eventually, Titan successfully reached the Titanic — in spite of persistent safety issues. 'It was a mathematical certainty that it would fail,' said McCallum. 'So, having a dive or two or 10 to the Titanic is not a measure of success. And personally I will never understand how it survived the first test dives.' 6 Rush routinely dismissed his experts' safety concerns. Courtesy of Netflix Lochridge emailed Rush and others a safety report in 2018, and was called into a contentious meeting the next day. Rush recorded the interaction. 'I don't want anybody in this company who is uncomfortable with what we're doing,' said an irate Rush. 'We're doing weird s–t here, and I am definitely out of the mold. There's no question. I'm doing things that are completely non-standard. And I'm sure the industry thinks I'm a f–king idiot. That's fine. They've been doing that for eight years. And I'm going to continue on the way I'm doing, but I'm not going to force people to join my religion if they don't want to.' Reacting to Lochridge's report, an angry Rush told Nissen, his engineer, that 'it would be nothing for him to spend $50,000 to ruin somebody's life.' 'That changed my life in that company,' said Nissen. 'I had to make sure nobody spoke up.' 6 Courtesy of Netflix Nissen, Lochridge, Hammermeister and Carl went on to all leave the troubling company. Carl was pushed over the edge when Rush brazenly suggested she assume the role of lead pilot. 'Are you nuts? I'm an accountant,' she remembered thinking. On June 18, 2023, one hour and 33 minutes into a dive, the Titan lost communication with the surface. A four-day search ensued and voracious news outlets displayed countdown clocks of when the sub would run out of oxygen. Debris was finally discovered on June 22. The Titan had actually imploded the same day it ceased pinging. The passengers — Rush, Hamish Harding, Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Suleman Dawood and Shahzada Dawood — all died. Hammermeister still feels shaken up by her association with OceanGate. 6 The five passengers aboard the Titan all died on June 18, 2023. AP 'I've reflected a lot on my time there,' she said. 'And my time there was not normal. I mean, I think back to the times where I was part of dives that happened. And thinking back how uncomfortable I felt bolting people into the sub. And so when that initial news article popped up and it said 'Tourist sub lost in the Atlantic,' I knew right away it was OceanGate.' Lochridge said the tragedy was a result of Rush's narcissism. 'He wanted fame,' he said. 'First and foremost to fuel his ego, fame. That was what he wanted. And he's got it.'
