Luke Wilson Confirms The Family Stone Sequel Script

Luke Wilson has confirmed that a script for a sequel to the 2005 holiday film, The Family Stone, is in development. Tom Bezucha, who wrote and directed the original movie, is penning the script for the follow-up. Wilson shared his positive reaction to the script, stating that he read it and found it to be "really funny." He also expressed his surprise and enthusiasm for the project, noting, "I can't believe it's happening."

The original film, released in 2005, starred Sarah Jessica Parker as a woman who visits her boyfriend's wealthy and conservative family during the Christmas holidays. The ensemble cast also included Claire Danes, Dermot Mulroney, Rachel McAdams, Craig T. Nelson, Diane Keaton, and Luke Wilson himself, who played Ben Stone, the boyfriend.

Details regarding the plot of the sequel or other cast members' potential involvement have not yet been released. However, Bezucha's involvement as the writer suggests a continuation of the tone and style that made the first film a holiday favorite for many. The announcement of a sequel comes over 18 years after the original film's release, with fans eagerly anticipating more information about the project's future.
