CALGARY, Alberta – It’s been over 20 years since Father of the Bride II was released in theaters and today director Charles Shyer confirmed in an interview that the third installment of the critically acclaimed franchise would begin filming early next year in Calgary, Alberta. Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Kimberly Williams-Paisley and most of the cast of the sequel have signed on though the magazine was told that Martin Short has not been confirmed and negotiations with the actor are still underway. It appears that the film will go on with or without him though insiders are suggesting that he’s very likely to join the cast.
Very few details of the plot have been released as of yet except that it will center around Megan, the second daughter of George and Nina Banks, who has decided to get married while in college. Mr. Shyer has hinted that this will be the final film in the franchise.
