'Bridesmaid' Director Paul Feig Addresses 'Bridesmaids' Sequel Hopes
After almost 10 years, Bridesmaids continues to stand the test of time in the vernacular of pop culture as a female-driven comedy beaming with sincerity, raunchy gags and unfiltered pathos. Amid critical acclaim and several awards for its stars, the Kristen Wiig-led comedy has become a favorite among the masses. Still, with all the love, the 2011 blockbuster might not be getting a sequel anytime soon, according to the director, Paul Feig. In an exclusive with PopCulture.com's host Tania Hussain, the 58-year-old debonair filmmaker, known for wearing three-piece suits, revealed it would be a decision entirely made by its lead star, Kristen Wiig.
"I don't know — that would be totally up to Kristen," Feig told us in our series, PopCulture @ Home of the film written by the former Saturday Night Live alum and screenwriter, Annie Mumolo. "The funny thing though about a sequel to Bridesmaids — it seems like a no-brainer because you go, 'Well, it's just like a crazy wedding.' But the reason again that movie worked is because Kristen's character was really going through this major crisis, and it was all about solving that crisis. So, you don't want to do a sequel and like, 'And she's in a crisis again.' But look, never say never, there's a lot of funny things we could do."
