Steve Martin Back For FATHER OF THE BRIDE 3, Focusing On Gay Marriage


Remember your mom's favorite Steve Martin series?  Well, it's getting a third chapter with FATHER OF THE BRIDE 3.  The difference this time?  George's (Martin) son Matty is all grown up and getting married.  The twist?  He's gay.
Happy Fathers Day, everyone. (I know it sucks to spend the day with civilians…) And on that note you should know that Disney and Warner Bros are sorting out the rights to Father Of The Bride 3 with Charles Shyer to write and direct (Nancy Meyers passed) and Steve Martin to return. (What else does he have going?) The twist in this threequel is that Little Matty is now 29 and gay and getting married to a Navy SEAL’s son. Father of the bride George is "thunderstruck and speechless" and has problems with the whole gay thing. So wife Nina kicks him out of the house, according to the pitch which Disney loved. Shyer is writing it with Marc Klein, David Hoberman producing again. "It’s a timely idea," my source said. "I told Charles I just hope it goes forward before gay stops trending…"
