Nia Vardalos – Thanks Fans For Their “Lovely Messages”
In an Instagram video posted on Instagram, actress Nia Vardalos thanked fans for their “lovely messages” and for their interest in another sequel of “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”, which premiered in 2002 to record-breaking box office earnings – it made more than $350 million worldwide on only a $5 million budget.
This round, Nia Vardalos will not only be writing the script to the upcoming movie, but she will be directing it as well. She shared the happy news with her fans, saying in a video message: “And guess who the director is. It’s me!”
She also wrote the scripts to the original movie and its 2016 sequel, and both films also starred Lainie Kazan, Michael Constantine, Andrea Martin and Joey Fatone.
Constantine died in August at age 94. Vardalos paid tribute to the actor at the time of his death, writing: “Michael Constantine, the dad to our cast-family, a gift to the written word, and always a friend. Acting with him came with a rush of love and fun. I will treasure this man who brought Gus to life. He gave us so much laughter and deserves a rest now. We love you Michael.”
Constantine’s on-screen wife Kazan also shared a tribute to him on Facebook. “I just found out that my dear friend Michael Constantine passed away today. He was a beloved friend and a brilliant actor/writer who taught me so much about my craft and LIFE,” she wrote at the time. “We shared a make-believe marriage for over 20 years in the movies My Big Fat Greek Wedding 1 and 2 and soon-to-be 3. What a beautiful relationship. Michael you will be missed. Heaven has gained another angel.”
