Production[edit]
In a 2009 interview for her film My Life in Ruins, asked about a possible sequel for 2002 hit romantic comedy My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Nia Vardalos stated that she had an idea for a sequel and had started writing it, hinting that, like Ruins, the film would be set in Greece.[3]
Asked about a sequel again in a November 2012 interview, she stated, "Well, actually, yes. And it's only now that I've really become open to the idea. Over the years, I've heard from everybody about what the sequel should be. People next to me at Starbucks would say, 'Hey, let me tell you my idea,' and I'd be like, 'Hey, I'm just trying to get a cup of coffee.' I never thought much about it. But then when John (Corbett) and I recently sat down to do that interview (for the 10th anniversary edition), we laughed so hard through the whole thing. It made me think that it's time. He said, "Come on, write something, will you?" And I now think I will. We have such an easy chemistry together. And we have chemistry because we never 'did it.' That's the surefire way to kill chemistry in a scene. You have to make sure your actors don't 'do it' off-screen. If they don't 'do it,' then they'll have chemistry on camera."[4]
On May 27, 2014, various news and media outlets reported that a sequel is in the works.[5] Vardalos later confirmed this via Twitter, and she also has written a script for the film.[6] Universal Pictures acquired the US distribution rights to the film on November 11, 2014, and Kirk Jones was set to direct the film based on the script by Vardalos, who would also star.[7]
