THE FABULOUS FOUR
Susan Sarandon! Megan Mullally! Sissy Spacek! Bette Midler! I could just leave this description right there. What more do you need to shell out for a cinema ticket? Okay, fine – The Fabulous Four is the big comeback for Aussie filmmaker Jocelyn Moorhouse and centers on a trio of friends (Sarandon, Mullaly, and Spacek) who travel to Key West to serve as bridesmaids at the unexpected wedding of their pal (Midler). Moorhouse knows a thing or two about nuptials – she was the producer on her husband’s cult classic Murial’s Wedding. Hannah Strong
The feel-good film, to go into production in early 2023 in Australia, will be directed by Jocelyn Moorhouse, who co-wrote the script with Jenna Milly and Ann Marie Allison. Their comedy portrays three lifelong friends, played by Sarandon, Mullally, and Spacek, who travel to Florida to be bridesmaids in a surprise wedding of their college girlfriend (Midler).
Once there, sisterhoods are rekindled, the past rises up again in all its glory, and there are enough sparks, drinks, and romance to change all their lives in ways they never expected.
Richard Barton Lewis’ Southpaw Entertainment and Goalpost Pictures’ Rosemary Blight will be producing, while Ben Grant, Kylie du Fresne, Gabrielle Jerou-Tabak, Andrew Karpen, and Kent Sanderson will share executive producer credits.
Bleecker Street plans a U.S. theatrical release. The distribution deal was negotiated by Kent Sanderson, Miranda King, and Avy Eschenasy of Bleecker Street, and CAA Media Finance and UTA Independent Film Group working for the filmmakers. Sierra/Affinity is representing international sales rights.
