Julia Roberts' beloved 1997 romantic comedy My Best Friend's Wedding is reportedly in the works nearly 30 years after the film's debut.
Celine Song will pen the project for Sony Pictures, according to Variety and The Wrap. However, no director is officially on board yet.
Song, 36, is best known for writing and directing the 2023 film Past Lives and the 2025 film Materialists.
The original film followed Julianne Porter (Roberts) as she attended her best friend Michael O'Neal's (Dermot Mulroney) wedding to Kimberly Wallace (Cameron Diaz). Throughout the course of the movie, Julianne sets out to have Michael cancel the wedding due to her feelings for him.
The movie also starred Rupert Everett, Carrie Preston and the late Philip Bosco.
The sequel's plot and cast have not yet been announced. However, Mulroney, 61, recently told the New York Post that "there is talk of a sequel" in an interview published on July 25.
“I know nothing about it. Last I heard, quote, lawyers were talking, unquote,” he added at the time.
While recalling his experience on the original film, Mulroney said that the "whole thing was a dream."

“I knew even when I got the audition for it with Julia, like waiting in line with a whole bunch of other guys and I got the role,” he continued. “I knew – and all of Hollywood knew – it was going to be an exceptional movie.”
After he pointed out that he has had a “lasting friendship with Julia," the Family Stone actor said that he also had a “credible connection with Rupert, Cameron and [Hogan] on the filming.”
“You can do a really tragic dramatic movie and still have tons of fun,” he continued. “But I’ll never forget those days in Chicago on that [movie].”
Mulroney has since returned to Chicago to film the NBC series Chicago Fire and said that the memories from the film have kept "coming back to me." He concluded, "It has been a big part of my life.”
