Two weddings and a 28-year wait!
Stars of 1994 movie marry in new screen drama – in front of guests Sienna and Scarlett
SHE famously failed to marry the man of her dreams in Four Weddings And A Funeral.
But 28 years on, Kristin Scott Thomas, 62, appears to be playing the happy bride – in her directorial debut.
As the first pictures from filming show, she is reunited with Vicar Of Dibley star James Fleet, 70, who played her brother in the 1994 romantic comedy but who this time seems to be cast as the groom.
The pair had major roles in Four Weddings as Fiona and Tom. Fiona had a long-held crush on the main character, Charles – played by Hugh Grant – but failed to get her man.
That storyline ended with the jokey suggestion that she ended up marrying Prince Charles instead – in her dreams, at least – while Tom married his distant cousin.
The new film is reportedly titled My Mother’s Wedding and is rumoured to draw inspiration from Chekhov’s play Three Sisters. Its stars include Scarlett Johansson, Sienna Miller and Emily Beecham – playing sisters. They were seen among the guests during filming of the wedding scene this week in a Hampshire churchyard. While Miss Scott Thomas looked elegant in a white satin bridal gown, Miss Johansson, 37, wore a chic petrol blue dress, tied at the waist, and cropped navy jacket, with her blonde hair tied back.
Miss Miller, 40, was in a yellow floral satin dress with puff sleeves and a dark grey wide-brimmed hat.
The English Patient star Miss Scott Thomas had previously been planning to film an adaptation of Elizabeth Jane Howard’s 1959 novel The Sea Change as her directorial debut but the project changed.
