Hey guys, we told you about Gurinder Chada's new movie not too long ago. Well, the director who brought you films like 'Bend it Like Beckham' and 'Bride and Prejudice'; has finally given word that's she's officially shooting her latest film 'It's A Wonderful Afterlife'. The film is one that will apparently be a good time for everyone.
The film is a comedy about an Indian mother who is absolutely obsessed with marriage. 'It's a Wonderful Afterlife' is said to be like 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' meets 'Shaun Of The Dead'. It's going to be produced and directed by the Golden Globe nominee Gurinder Chadha. She and her husband Paul Mayeda Berges co-wrote the screenplay for the new film.
Newcomer Goldy Notay will be in the lead. She'll be joined by Shabana Azmi, Shaheen Khan, and Sendhil Ramamurthy. The rest of the international cast will be announced shortly and will hopefully include some big Hollywood names. The film is being co-produced by The Indian Film Company and Bend It Films in association with Studio 18.
Gurinder Chadha said of her latest release "I am thrilled to be making another British movie in the west London suburbs of Southall and Ealing with a true feeling of the Ealing comedies of Michael Balcon I so admire. This is also my tribute to one of the great directors, Frank Capra and my all time favourite movie, 'It's a Wonderful Life'."
We're sure Gurinder Chadha will put in a lot of effort for this one; to make sure it lives up to not only her past films, but also to her favourite movie and directors. So we want to know if you're excited about the filming of 'It's a Wonderful Afterlife'. Is it a movie that you will want to go see? Or are you not interested in Gurinder Chadha's films?
