Four weddings and a funeral 1994 trailer

A first look at the Four Weddings and a Funeral reunion has been revealed.

Original cast members from the 1994 film have returned for a short created for this year’s Red Nose Day, an event co-founded by the film’s screenwriter Richard Curtis.

The short, titled One Red Nose Day and a Wedding, is set to feature Hugh Grant, Andie MacDowell, Kristin Scott Thomas, John Hannah, Rowan Atkinson, James Fleet, David Haig, Sophie Thompson, David Bower, Robin McCaffrey, Anna Chancellor, Rupert Vansittart, Simon Kunz, Sara Crowe and Timothy Walker.

They’ll also be joined by new characters, played by secret special guest stars.

The film’s original director, Mike Newell, has even returned to direct the sketch, which picks up 25 years after the original film.

It follows on from the success of Red Nose Day Actually, a short follow up to 2003’s Love Actually, written and directed by Curtis, that premiered during Red Nose Day’s 2017 edition.
