The Wedding Banquet , a reimagination of Ang Lee’s 1993 rom-com classic, is set to hit theaters in the spring .

Director Andrew Ahn says he was inspired by his gay brother's Korean wedding.

The film is set in Seattle , a full ensemble, telling a larger story about a chosen family.

The original Wedding Banquet offered a radically realist portrait of gay joy and pain.

Director Ahn wanted to make a contemporary film in that vein, honoring the original’s tough, specific insights while recognizing changes in queer visibility and traditions.

While the bulk of the main cast is well-known to American audiences, this is Han 's first English -language project.

After lunch, Ahn rehearses for the filming of the Pyebaek , a wedding custom featuring formal bowing and the catching of jujubes and chestnuts, which symbolize children.

With each take of this specific scene, we see Youn , Tran , Chen , and Han get more and more comfortable.

It's fitting that this day has started and ended with different kinds of tears.
