‘THE BEST MAN’ SEQUEL TEAMS UP W/ UNIVERSAL PICTURES??

According to Deadline.com, Universal Pictures is looking to make a sequel film to the 1999 wedding-comedy, The Best Man. While the original writer/director, Malcolm D. Lee held a reunion dinner with most of the cast members earlier this year, the idea of making it happen sparked a lot of their attention:

Universal has set Malcolm D. Lee to write, direct and produce Best Man 2, a sequel to the 1999 film. Lee wrote and directed the original, a comedy in which a writer (Taye Diggs) is preparing to be the best man for his football player buddy (Morris Chestnut), but the timing is bad because the writer’s autobiographical novel is about to pop and it describes how the best man bedded the bride. Terrence Howard, Harold Perrineau, Nia Long and Sanaa Lathan also starred. The original grossed $35 million. [Source]
