Arguably one of the most beloved holiday movies in the modern canon, writer/director Nancy Meyers’ The Holiday is something that can even melt down the most cynical audience member. As Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz wind through a heartfelt journey of discovery and yuletide glee, it’s hard not to want new movie releases at this time of year to live up to that same promise.
Well, if a new report is correct, Diaz, Winslet, and the rest of The Holiday’s original cast are going to provide just that in a brand new sequel. Reportedly, The Sun has gotten word from an unnamed source that The Holiday 2 will be filming next year.
Though the cast’s status is vaguely worded as “the main talent are all signed up,” that leads us to assume that Jack Black and Jude Law would also be coming back to the table. It’s far from an official announcement, but this rumor is so enticing, we’re ready to go wine shopping to celebrate!
The Holiday 2, or whatever this project may be titled, is still a bit of an unknown/unconfirmed quantity. Though you Kate Winslet fans will be able to see the actor return to the big screen real soon, thanks to her major role in Avatar: The Way of Water. James Cameron’s long awaited, and very much confirmed, sequel opens in theaters on December 16th.
More to come…
