The word “legendary” gets tossed around pretty easily when discussing important actors, but there’s a huge difference between starring in a lot of important movies, and starring in a lot of movies while leaving everyone you ever met with an epic, semi-fantastical tale about how incredibly drunk you got.
Premiering at the Venice Film Festival, Adrian Sibley’s documentary “The Ghost of Richard Harris” tells the story of — you guessed it — Richard Harris, but also his ghost. The Irish actor, musician and poet who starred in films like “This Sporting Life,” “The Field,” “Gladiator” and two “Harry Potter” entries led an extraordinary existence that’s well worth recording for posterity. And in his wake, he left behind three sons who barely knew their real father, and who seek in his absence a little bit of understanding and maybe some closure.

Threequel Bill & Ted Face the Music has found the actresses who will play the daughters of the eponymous time-travelling rockers.
Bill & Ted Face the Music just took a major step, having confirmed the first new cast members for the near 30-years-in-the-making continuation of its film universe.

In the movies, when families come together, zaniness ensues — and it’s usually predictable to the point of tediousness. When you see above-the-title names such as Glenn Close, John Malkovich, Minnie Driver, and Patrick Stewart, however, you think, Will it be…? Could it be…? The answer is no. At least that’s true in the case of “The Wilde Wedding,” whose very title serves as a double entendre for nuptial-related shenanigans. Written and directed by Damian Harris (“Bad Company”), the farce revolves around actress Eve Wilde (Close) and her fifth marriage, to novelist Harold (Stewart, with a highly unflattering head of gray.

With the big end of the year holidays still a couple of weeks away, what kind of big event can gather a big family (or a diverse acting ensemble)? It’s gotta’ be a comedy so a funeral is probably out of the question, although both the British and Us versions of Death At A Funeral are pretty darned hilarious. No, there’s got to be a romantic angle, so the setting should probably be a wedding. Film makers have used them for lots of comedies that are ripe with conflict from all the versions of Father Of The Bride to those big cast showcases like Robert Altman’s A Wedding and the big, big superstar-studded , appropriately named The Big Wedding just three years ago. And like that flick, some of the exes are involved, upping the tension and making for The Wilde Wedding that lives up to its name...

It’s been a bit of a weird year for Patrick Stewart. First, he voices poop in “The Emoji Movie,” and now he has a quite ungodly mane of hair in the upcoming comedy “The Wilde Wedding.” As you might guess from the title, it’s about a wedding that gets wild, in the way they only do at the movies.
Also starring Glenn Close, John Malkovich, Minnie Driver, Jack Davenport, Yael Stone, Peter Facinelli, Noah Emmerich, and Grace Van Patten, the story follows an aging actress who is getting ready to marry her new beau, but when she invites her ex-husband to the nuptials, things get wacky.

"You are so thoughtful - as if you'd have any idea what a 'keeper' was." Vertical Entertainment has debuted the first official trailer for an indie comedy titled The Wilde Wedding, about a wedding that gets a bit crazy (if the title wasn't already an indication of that). The two people getting hitched are played by Glenn Close and Patrick Stewart, a retired film star marrying a renowned English writer. The rest of the "wild" ensemble cast of great actors includes John Malkovich, Minnie Driver, Jack Davenport, Yael Stone, Peter Facinelli, Noah Emmerich, and Grace Van Patten. I'm not sure where this came from, as I've never heard of the film before, but it looks entertaining in an awkward dysfunctional comedy way. There's tons of sexual tension being built up and released in this trailer, so make sure you wear a condom. Have fun. Here's the official trailer for Damian Harris' The Wilde Wedding,...

Patrick Stewart is no longer follically challenged in charmingly funny trailer for The Wilde Wedding
Author: Zehra Phelan
A charming smile-inducing trailer for the comedy The Wilde Wedding starring Glenn Close, John Malkovich and Patrick Stewart with a head full of hair – who even knew that was possible – has arrived.
The trailer focuses on the days leading up to Eve Wilde’s (Glenn Close) fourth marriage to Alcott (Patrick Stewart), who plays a writer who seems to have added some special hair growing fertilizer to his shampoo to produce an almost afro-like head of gray hair. Inviting along her first husband played by John Malkovich, who is partial to a drink or three, the group of family and friends share a few charmingly funny moments together as Eve starts to have second thoughts, thanks to Malkovich, on her pending nuptials.
