Emma Roberts Enlists in the Bride Wars
by Jason P. Frank · VULTUREEmma Roberts is ready to star in something old, made into something new, with a name borrowed, and something blue (hair, specifically). The actress is currently developing a television adaptation of everybody’s favorite, totally fine 2009 rom-com, Bride Wars, starring Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway, per The Hollywood Reporter. Roberts’s adaptation is being developed for Peacock and written by GLOW co-executive producer Sascha Rothchild.
The original version followed childhood best friends in New York who get engaged at the same time and accidentally schedule their weddings on the same date and at the same location. The new version is keeping the name but not anything else, really. The series will be set in North Carolina and follow a wedding planner who moves to a new town and sparks a feud with the town’s currently reigning wedding planner. The logline notes that their fight “escalates into a larger clash over friendship, community, and, ultimately, love.” Does that mean the rival wedding planners will kiss? Because that’s a change we’d be fully into.
