About Fate to be released digitally and in select theatres

About Fate, the upcoming romantic comedy starring Emma Roberts and Thomas Mann is set to release on digital as well as in select theatres later this week on Friday, September 9, 2022.

The film follows Griffin and Margot who stumble into attending a wedding together. After Griffin fails to propose to his girlfriend and Margot is dumped by her boyfriend, the two hopeless romantics accidentally bump into each other and, without a date to her sister's wedding the next day, asks Griffin to go to the event posing as her ex. As the night goes on, it becomes apparent that the two leads start to have feelings for each other, leading them to have to make a decision about what they want and what exactly makes them happy.

Joining Roberts and Mann on the cast include Britt Robertson, Madelaine Petsch, Wendie Malick, with Cheryl Hines, and Lewis Tan. About Fate is an American film remake of the 1976 cult classic Soviet romantic comedy film The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!, softened shortened to simply The Irony of Fate. The film was written by Emil Braginsky and Eldar Ryazanov with Eldar Ryazanov also serving as director.

About Fate is directed by Marius Vaysberg who is adapting a script written by Tiffany Paulsen. This film will see Roberts and Paulsen reuniting as Paulsen also wrote the script for fellow romantic comedy Holidate for Netflix in 2020 and 2007’s Nancy Drew.

About Fate will premiere on digital as well as in select theatres on September 9.
