A sequel to the cult '90s romantic comedy starring Julia Roberts is in the works.

The latest reports indicate that the acclaimed production starring Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz will be getting a sequel after nearly three decades. The script for the sequel to "My Best Friend's Wedding" will reportedly be written by South Korean filmmaker Celine Song, who directed "The Materialists." It's currently unknown who will direct the upcoming film.

In 1997, the romantic comedy "My Best Friend's Wedding" debuted in theaters. Directed by PJ Hogan, the film tells the story of Julienne, who, upon realizing she's in love with her best friend, decides to prevent his impending wedding at all costs. Julia Roberts played the lead role, co-starring Cameron Diaz and Dermot Mulroney. The film received Golden Globe and Satellite Award nominations.

Meanwhile, Variety reports that after nearly three decades, the popular comedy will be getting a sequel. Sources claim that the project is in the very early stages of development. It's unclear what viewers can expect from the upcoming sequel. Both the director and the cast remain a mystery for now.

Still from the film

All we know is that Celine Song, hired to write the script, is responsible for the entire concept. The South Korean-born director and screenwriter's credits include the critically acclaimed melodrama "Previous Life," for which she received nominations for an Oscar, Golden Globe, BAFTA, and Critics' Choice Awards . Song's new work premiered in June: the romantic comedy "The Materialists," starring Pedro Pascal, Dakota Johnson, and Chris Evans.

Mulroney, who portrayed the main character's wedding-preparing friend in the original film, revealed a few days ago that "talks are underway" about making a sequel. He noted that he still fondly remembers working on the beloved film.

"Oh my gosh, the whole experience was like a dream. I remember that even during the casting, waiting in a huge line to audition with other guys auditioning for the role, I knew—like all of Hollywood—that this was going to be a special film," the actor emphasized in an interview with the New York Post.
