Wedding bells are ringing in the trailer for HBO Max's Father Of The Bride remake
This time around, Andy Garcia takes on the titular role in the Warner Bros. film
Thirty years after Steve Martin played the titular father in Charles Shyer’s Father Of The Bride, Warner Bros. has shared the trailer for its updated take on the classic rom-com. Andy Garcia stars in the remake alongside the legendary Gloria Estefan, Adria Arjona, Diego Boneta, Isabela Merced, and SNL’s Chloe Fineman.
There’s been some fun updates to the film, starting with the narrative now focusing on a non-white family. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Garcia dives into how this will shake up things up and add in new dynamics.
“There was both an honor and an obligation to deliver a story that’s within the Latin cultures, in this case, the Cuban and the Mexican, trying to relate to one another,” García says. “There’s an obligation to do it right, represent it without stereotypes, in a way that, although it’s culturally specific, its themes are universal.”
