Celine Song to Write ‘My Best Friend's Wedding' Sequel — Report
Oscar-nominated writer/director Celine Song is joining in on the buzzy nostalgia trend: The 'Materialists' filmmaker is set to write a sequel to 'My Best Friend's Wedding.' The 1997 film starred Julia Roberts, Dermot Mulroney, and Cameron Diaz in a throuple from hell. After Roberts' character learns that Mulroney's is about to get married to his picture perfect fiancée (Diaz), Roberts sets out to stake her claim…and ruin the nuptials. It makes sense for Song to take on the IP, as she made her feature debut with 'Past Lives' and recently released 'Materialists,' both films that dealt with exes reappearing to wreck emotional havoc. To note, this will be Song's first foray into the two women, one man dynamic trope, though.

Song's directorial debut 'Past Lives' was nominated for two Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay. Original 'My Best Friend's Wedding' star Mulroney previously teased a possible sequel to the New York Post. 'The Hunting Wives' actor said, 'I know nothing about it. Last I heard 'lawyers were talking.'' Other recent reboot films from the late '90s and early 2000s have been 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' (now in theaters), 'Freakier Friday' (in theaters August 8), and 'The Devil Wears Prada' (now in production).

Rupert Everett says he was dumped from ‘Emily in Paris': ‘For me, it was a tragedy'
Rupert Everett didn't have a huge role on 'Emily in Paris,' but now he no longer has any part whatsoever. The actor who played interior design firm director Giorgio Barbieri on one episode of the hit Netflix series shared while speaking at Marateale, the international film festival held annually in Maratea, Italy, that he has been let go from the show, according to Vanity Fair this week. 'I was fired. I did a scene in the latest season, and they told me, 'Next year we'll speak,'' he reportedly said. 'I waited for them to call me – but ultimately, it never came, and they just fired me.' Everett went on to say that 'show business is always very difficult, from the beginning to the end. When they write the screenplay, they think they want you – but then things change, and they lose your character. I don't know why.' 'For me, it was a tragedy,' he added. 'I was in bed for two weeks because I couldn't get over it.' CNN has reached out to reps for both Everett and Netflix for comment. Not that the popular actor, who was at the festival in part to receive its Basilicata International Award, is without work. IMDb lists Everett as having multiple upcoming projects, including a comedy titled 'The Liar' opposite Jeff Goldblum, and fans are hopeful that he will reprise his beloved role of Julia Roberts' bestie George Downes in the reported planned sequel to the hit 1997 film 'My Best Friend's Wedding.'
