Writer\/actress Nia Vardalos is getting ready to say her vows again. Deadline<\/a> is reporting that the writer and star of the 2002 hit independent comedy My Big Fat Greek Wedding<\/strong> has finished the screenplay for a sequel. Vardalos will be joined on-screen by her Wedding<\/strong> co-star and groom John Corbett as well as various members of her character’s extended, trouble causing family.<\/p>\n

In a statement Vardalos said –<\/p>\n

Now that I\u2019m experiencing motherhood, I\u2019m ready to write the next chapter of my family story. Of course a few jaded folks in the press corps will claim I ran out of money or just want to kiss John Corbett again. One of these things is true.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Although the film was produced for approximately $5 million, it grossed over $368 million worldwide, making it one of the most successful indie films of all time.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time that Vardalos revisited the Portokalos clan of the film. In 2003, the film spun off the television series My Big Fat Greek Life<\/em>, though it did poorly in the ratings and only lasted one season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
