"A man goes on a honeymoon with his would-be father-in-law after his fiancée dies – Bart Baker, original novel author"

Washington DC, August 19

Kevin Costner and Jake Gyllenhaal are set to star in 'Honeymoon with Harry'. Glenn Ficarra and John Requa are on board to direct the project that has a script by Dan Fogelman, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The project has been in the works since 2004. It is based on a then-unpublished novel by Bart Baker, which tells the story of a man (Gyllenhaal) as he decides to go on a honeymoon with his would-be father-in-law (Costner) after his fiancee dies two days before their wedding, as per the outlet.

Fogelman is producing along with Mike Karz of Gulfstream Pictures. The other producer is Jennifer Salke, the former head of Amazon MGM, who will produce via her newly launched Sullivan Street Productions banner. 'Honeymoon with Harry' will mark Salke's first project with Amazon MGM and her producing debut.

Honeymoon reunites Karz and his Gulfstream Pictures with Amazon MGM, following the recent production of the romantic comedy Upgraded, starring Camila Mendes, and One Fast Move, starring KJ Apa and Eric Dane, for the streamer.

Gyllenhaal was also seen in the remake of Road House, which became one of Amazon's biggest hits ever. A sequel is prepping to shoot later this fall. The actor also starred in Apple TV+'s Presumed Innocent, which put him in the Emmy race this year with a nomination for outstanding lead actor in a limited or anthology series or movie.

Costner, the Dances with Wolves Oscar winner and former star of Yellowstone, has spent the last several years working on his passion project, Horizon: An American Saga, an ambitious multi-part Western. Only two of the four parts have been made, and only the first one was released, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Been waiting for this since 2004?! That's longer than most Bollywood scripts take to make! 😂 But seriously, with this cast and crew, it should be worth the wait. Costner is always brilliant in father-figure roles.

Not sure about this concept... A honeymoon with father-in-law? Sounds a bit odd to our Indian sensibilities. But Hollywood has surprised us before. Will give it a chance if it releases here.

Jake Gyllenhaal is on fire these days! Road House was amazing and now this. Indian audiences are really appreciating Hollywood stars more than ever. Hope Amazon Prime brings it quickly to India.

The emotional depth this story promises reminds me of some classic Hindi films. Costner's experience with Horizon might bring that grand cinematic feel. But 20 years in development - hope it doesn't feel outdated!

After seeing Gyllenhaal in Road House, I'll watch him in anything! But I hope they don't make it too depressing - we Indians like our entertainment with some hope and happiness. Fingers crossed for a good ending! 🤞
