HOLD ON TO YOUR GYROS, PEOPLE.

AND CONCEAL THINE MOSQUITO BITES

In a Variety interview, Nia Vardalos confirms that she’s working on a My Big Fat Greek Wedding sequel.

It’s been 12 (holy crap…TWELVE) years since the movie was released on a shoestring $5 million budget, earning $369 million worldwide (basically, the opposite of Battlefield Earth/Waterworld/Pluto Nash/John Carter).

Vardalos explains, “Now that I’m experiencing motherhood, I’m ready to write the next chapter of my family story.”

The plot is said to involve another wedding (shocker) and a family secret being revealed (a hundred bucks on the daughter being a lesbian!)

Or Aunt Voula’s twin coming back to life!

According to Vardalos: “Of course, a few jaded folks in the press corps will claim I ran out of money or just want to kiss John Corbett again. One of these things is true.”

It’s good to see John Corbett is returning, unlike in that 2003 crappy spinoff show”My Big Fat Greek Life” where Toula ended up married to some random old-looking dude while the rest of the cast remained intact.

IMPOSTOR!

It was a terrible turn for a totally real concept.  The movie was magic because it resonated with just about every Indo-European ethnic family–from Greeks to Armenians (not the Kardashians) to Persians to Indians to Chinese to Russians.

What those families can’t relate to is a woman going on her honeymoon with one man and magically returning with another.  In real life, that would end like Joan of Arc at a BBQ.

too bad the Middle Ages didn’t have ammonia-based window cleaners…
