The Best Man Wedding: Release Date And Trailer Revealed

Fans of the 'Best Man' franchise were eagerly awaiting the third film, 'The Best Man Wedding', after the first two movies were distributed by Universal Pictures. It was initially announced that the film would be released on 15 April 2016, but it was later revealed that it had been delayed indefinitely due to scheduling conflicts. Despite the script being written, director Malcolm D. Lee shared that it has been challenging to find a time that accommodates everyone's schedule. While there is no confirmation on when the film might be released, Lee shared that he is hopeful that fans won't have to wait another ten years, like they did between the first and second films.

The Best Man Wedding was initially set to be released in 2016

The Best Man Wedding is the third installment of The Best Man film series, written and directed by Malcolm D. Lee, and produced by Sean Daniel. The film was expected to bring back the original cast, including Taye Diggs, Terrence Howard, Harold Perrineau, Morris Chestnut, Monica Calhoun, Sanaa Lathan, Nia Long, Melissa De Sousa, and Regina Hall.

The first film, The Best Man, released in 1999, was a commercial success, grossing $34-35.1 million domestically on a $9 million budget. The second film, The Best Man Holiday, released in 2013, continued this success, earning $70 million.

Despite the excitement and anticipation for The Best Man Wedding, the film faced challenges due to scheduling conflicts with the cast members' other commitments. Lee expressed his desire to accommodate everyone's schedules and find the right budget level that satisfied the creative team.

While Lee hoped that the film would not be delayed by another ten years, as it was between the first and second installments, the release date for The Best Man Wedding remains uncertain as of 2024.

The film was delayed indefinitely due to scheduling conflicts

Fans of The Best Man movie series were eagerly awaiting the third film, The Best Man Wedding, after Universal Pictures announced in 2014 that it would arrive in theatres on 15 April 2016. However, the film was delayed indefinitely due to scheduling conflicts.

Writer-director Malcolm D. Lee confirmed that the film had not even started shooting. Although there was a desire from the studio, the actors, and himself to make the film, Lee explained that it was challenging to find the right time to accommodate everyone's schedule. Many of the cast members had landed hit television shows, making it difficult to align their availability. Lee also mentioned the need to find the right budget level that satisfied all artists involved.

Lee expressed hope that fans would not have to wait another ten years for the sequel, like they did between the first and second films. While the film's production start remains uncertain, Lee assured that if it were to happen, it would be before another 14-year wait.

The Best Man Wedding was planned to be the third instalment of The Best Man series, following up on the previous films The Best Man (1999) and The Best Man Holiday (2013). Both previous releases were commercially successful, with the first film earning $34-35.1 million domestically on a $9 million budget, and the second film grossing $70 million.

The script for the film has been written

The script for "The Best Man Wedding" has been written by Malcolm D. Lee, who also wrote and directed the first two films in the series, "The Best Man" and "The Best Man Holiday". Lee confirmed that the script was written in 2016, the same year the film was initially supposed to be released. However, due to scheduling conflicts, the film has been delayed indefinitely.

Lee's script for "The Best Man Wedding" will continue the story of the characters from the previous films, including Taye Diggs, Terrence Howard, Harold Perrineau, Morris Chestnut, Monica Calhoun, Sanaa Lathan, Nia Long, Melissa De Sousa, and Regina Hall. The film will pick up where "The Best Man Holiday" left off, following the announcement that Quentin, the playa-playa, is getting married and the hilarious events leading up to his wedding.

While the script is ready, Lee has faced challenges in finding a suitable time to accommodate the busy schedules of the returning cast members. Many of them have landed successful television roles since the release of "The Best Man Holiday" in 2013. Terrence Howard and Morris Chestnut, for example, are both starring in shows on Fox, while Taye Diggs is working on a project for TNT.

Despite the delays, Lee remains hopeful that "The Best Man Wedding" will eventually be made. He assured fans that if the film does happen, it won't take another 14 years, like the gap between the first and second films. Although there is no set timeline for production to start, Lee is committed to making the film a reality when the timing is right.

The script for "The Best Man Wedding" is an important step in the development of the film, and Lee's involvement as the writer and director ensures continuity with the previous instalments. Now, the project awaits the resolution of scheduling conflicts so that the talented ensemble cast can reunite and bring Lee's script to life on the big screen.
