The trailer for The Wedding Banquet, a remake of the 1993 film of the same name, was unveiled on Monday. Andrew Ahn helms the film, which he and James Schamus also wrote the script for.

The official synopsis of The Wedding Banquet reads, "Angela and her partner Lee have been unlucky with their IVF treatments but can’t afford to pay for another round. Meanwhile their friend Min, the closeted scion of a multinational corporate empire, has plenty of family money but a soon-to-expire student visa. When his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris rejects his proposal, Min makes the offer to Angela instead: a green card marriage in exchange for funding Lee’s IVF. But their plans to quietly elope are upended when Min’s sceptical grandmother flies in from Korea unannounced, insisting on an all-out wedding extravaganza."

The Wedding Banquet also stars Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, Han Gi-chan, Joan Chen, and Youn Yuh-jung. Produced by Anita Gou, Joe Pirro, Caroline Clark, and James Schamus. The film is distributed by Bleecker Street.

The Wedding Banquet premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. It will hit theatres on April 18.
