"Kiss the Bride" to be released by here!

Here is some very welcome news released on Monday: here! Films, the theatrical distribution and worldwide sales division of here! Networks, announcded it will executive produce and oversee worldwide distribution for the upcoming feature "Kiss the Bride."

The romantic comedy follows the impending nuptials of happy, heterosexual couple Ryan (James O’Shea) and Alex (Tori Spelling), and how that happiness is disrupted by the arrival of Ryan’s old high school friend Matt (Philipp Karner), with whom Ryan had a fling with in his teenage years. (I love it already!)
Suddenly, both Matt and Ryan are forced to confront long-forgotten feelings for each other while perky, unsuspecting fiancé Alex befriends the new visitor.

The supporting cast is a good one: Joanna Cassidy, Tess Harper, Robert Foxworth and Spelling's husband, Dean McDermott (I literally bumped into Dean at the 90210 reunion event a few weeks ago. He's dishier than I thought and very tall).

The film's director is C. Jay Cox whose first feature film, "Latter Days," won the Audience Award for Best First Narrative Feature and was nominated for its screenplay at the 2005 Los Angeles Outfest. I was there the night it screened and the rousing standing ovation the film got at the Ford Ampitheatre is something I will never forget.
Cox previously wrote the box office smash "Sweet Home Alabama" starring Reese Witherspoon, Patrick Dempsey, and Josh Lucas.

"Kiss the Bride" is the first project of new production company Shadow Factory and is now in production in Los Angeles. It will premiere in theaters and on here! Networks in 2007.
