Jennifer Lopez has been on a huge marriage kick lately. This past year saw the release of Marry Me, a romantic comedy where she plays a pop star who marries a regular joe, played by Owen Wilson. Her real life this year also saw her marry her longtime on-again, off-again boyfriend, Ben Affleck. And now, Amazon Prime Video reveals the new trailer for Lopez’s next film, the action-romantic-comedy Shotgun Wedding. The film also stars Josh Duhamel, Jennifer Coolidge, Sônia Braga, Cheech Marin, Selena Tan, D’Arcy Carden, Callie Hernandez, Desmin Borges, Steve Coulter, Alberto Isaac, and Lenny Kravitz.
“In Shotgun Wedding, Darcy (Jennifer Lopez) and Tom (Josh Duhamel) gather their lovable but very opinionated families for the ultimate destination wedding, just as the couple begin to get cold feet. And if that wasn’t enough of a threat to the celebration, suddenly everyone’s lives are in danger when the entire party is taken hostage. “’Til Death Do Us Part” takes on a whole new meaning in this hilarious, adrenaline-fueled adventure as Darcy and Tom must save their loved ones—if they don’t kill each other first.”
The film comes from Lionsgate and is directed by Jason Moore, known for Pitch Perfect 1 & 2 and Sisters. The movie is written by Mark Hammer, whose previous work includes the romantic-comedy, Two Night Stand. Producers for the film include Todd Lieberman, p.g.a., David Hoberman, p.g.a., Alexander Young, p.g.a., Jennifer Lopez, p.g.a., Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, p.g.a., and Benny Medina.
The film clocks in at 100 minutes and has been rated R. Josh Duhamel steps in as Lopez’s groom after the original actor in the role, Armie Hammer, had to step down due to cases of abuse and cannibalistic tendencies coming to light. Hammer has since put his career on pause.
Shotgun Wedding will be available to stream on Amazon Prime Video on January 27, 2023.
