Hollywood stars Scarlett Johansson and Sienna Miller are all set to play sisters in the upcoming movie 'My Mother's Wedding', which will be helmed by debutant director
Kristin Scott Thomas. Its plot will be about three sisters who return to their childhood home for the third wedding of their twice-widowed mother, Diana. 'My Mother's Wedding' also stars Emily Beecham, who plays one of the sisters and Scott Thomas herself who plays their mother Diana. This is the third time that she has played Johansson's mother in a movie. The first time was in 'The Horse Whisperer' and the second was in 'The Other Boleyn Girl'. "Directing and acting with such talented actresses and reuniting with Scarlett Johansson has been exhilarating," Scott Thomas said in a statement. Though this film is Scott Thomas's first one as a director, she is an Oscar-nominated actress and has been in movies like 'The English Patient', 'Four Weddings and a Funeral', and 'Gosford Park' among others. "I have wanted to direct for a long time and it was thrilling to create this fictional family using my own childhood memories as a springboard," Scott Thomas said. The first-look image of 'My Mother's Wedding' was released showing the three sisters, Johansson, Miller and Beecham all sitting around a dinner table. As per report, the upcoming movie will be produced by Finola Dwyer and Steven Rales. Other actors in the film include Freida Pinto, Sindhu Vee, Joshua McGuire, Mark Stanley, Thibault de Montalembert and Samson Kayo.
Colin Jost and Marvel actor Scarlett Johannson welcomed their son in August this year and named him Cosmo--but their unique name choice was not liked by everyone in the family. The Saturday Night Live host recently appeared on 'The Late Show with Seth Meyers' and revealed his mom's reaction to their son's name. Sharing how his mother was slightly taken aback after she heard the name, he said, “My family is very supportive, always,” Jost said. “My mom, I would say, was slightly thrown by it and didn’t quite understand it. I don’t know if she thought it was a hippie thing.” Jameela Jamil teases first look as 'She-Hulk' Titania in new picture Recalling an incident related to the name, Jost said, "After three or four days, she would be like, 'Cosmo? Is it final? Did you submit the birth certificate?'' ''She would call us after three or four days, she’d be like, ‘Cosmo,' And she’d be like, ‘And now, is it final? Like, did you submit the birth certificate?’ And we’re like, ‘Oh, yeah, we did that at the hospital.’ She was like ‘OK, interesting. Because I was reading that there’s also a name Cosimo with an ‘I,’ so that could also be an option. Maybe Cosimo, that’s his real name, but then you can call him still Cosmo','' he added. After learning that there were a lot more Cosmos out there, his mom was quite okay.

''She would call, and she would say, "I met someone. They said their uncle's name is Cosmo. So it is OK,"' he said. 'Then she goes, "There's a patron saint called Cosmos, so that's another option." We don't need more worse options, variants on Cosmo. But thanks, Mom'." Jost and Johansson got engaged in May 2019 after two years of dating. They tied the knot in October 2020 in an intimate ceremony. Scarlett also shares her daughter Rose with her ex-husband Romain Dauriac. Colin announced the birth of their son back in August, writing on Instagram: ''Ok ok we had a baby. His name is Cosmo. We love him very much.'' |
