After partnering with Mandeville Films for the project, Lionsgate’s action-comedy Shotgun Wedding is getting its wheels in motion as Jennifer Lopez (Hustlers, Marry Me) and Armie Hammer (Death on the Nile, Rebecca) have signed on to star in the project.
The duo will produce alongside Nuyorican Productions’ Lopez, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Benny Medina, with Alex Young executive producing for Mandeville, Courtney Baxter for Nuyorican and Ryan Reynolds & George Dewey.
Shotgun Wedding is eyeing a production start early next year.
Written by Mark Hammer (Two Night Stand) and Liz Meriwether (Single Parents, Bless This Mess) and directed by Jason Moore (Pitch Perfect), the film centers on Darcy (Lopez) and Tom (Hammer) as they gather their lovable but very opinionated families for the ultimate destination wedding just as the couple begin to get cold feet.
