Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell are headed to the altar in a new wedding comedy for Amazon Studios.
Amazon has landed rights to the untitled movie, from writer-director Nick Stoller, in which Witherspoon and Ferrell will star and produce under their respective banners. Jessica Elbaum and Ferrell will produce for Gloria Sanchez, with Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter producing for Hello Sunshine and the company’s Ashley Strumwasser serving as executive producer. Stoller — whose highly anticipated gay rom-com Bros, which he directed and co-wrote with star Billy Eichner, is due out Sep. 30 — will also produce for his Stoller Global Solutions alongside Conor Welch.

The world’s biggest movie star, it’s hardly a shock to discover that fans have been spending their weekend watching movies featuring Dwayne Johnson, but it’s still impressive that his reach covers multiple platforms.
While details of the movie’s plot are still being kept under wraps, the premise reportedly involves two weddings that are booked at the same venue on the same weekend. Sources say Amazon landed the rights to the project in a highly competitive situation with bids coming from both streamers and studios, which is logical given Witherspoon, Ferrell and Stoller’s stellar comedy resumes. To note, Hello Sunshine also has a number of high-profile projects in the works at Amazon, including the musical drama series Daisy Jones & The Six, starring Riley Keough and Sam Claflin, and the holiday romantic comedy Something From Tiffany’s, starring and executive produced by Zoey Deutch. After starring in hit dramas Big Little Lies, Little Fires Everywhere and The Morning Show, Witherspoon is set to return to her rom-com roots with the upcoming Your Place or Mine at Netflix.
Among Gloria Sanchez’s recent successes are Eurovision, in which Ferrell starred opposite Rachel McAdams, Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar, Hustlers and Booksmart. The company also has two multi-year first-look deals: one in television with Netflix, which came on the heels of the Emmy-nominated series Dead to Me, which will soon debut its third and final season; and a film deal at 20th Century Studios. Ferrell will next be seen in the Christmas musical Spirited, opposite Ryan Reynolds, which the company also produced for Apple TV+.
In addition to the buzz for Bros, Stoller has also helmed such critical and commercial hits as Forgetting Sarah Marshall and the Neighbors movies, with recent screenwriting credits on Zoolander 2, The Muppets and its sequel Muppets Most Wanted, and Dora and the Lost City of Gold. Stoller is currently in production on the Apple TV+ series Platonic, which he co-created and is co-showrunning alongside his wife, Francesca Delbanco, and where he reunites with Neighbors stars Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne. Most recently, his Stoller Global Solutions company renewed an overall deal with Sony Pictures Television.
Ferrell is represented by UTA, Mosaic and The Lede Company; Witherspoon is represented by CAA, LBI Entertainment, attorney Gretchen Rush and The Lede Company; and Stoller is represented by UTA, Ziffren Brittenham and Narrative.
