MyBigFatGreekWedding3 star Nia Vardalos gives a major update confirming the movie has begun filming in Greece. Even better, she's directing this time around!
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 star Nia Vardalos offers a major filming update. Penned by Vardalos in her screenplay debut, the first installment in the rom-com franchise was released in 2002 and became a runaway success. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, My Big Fat Greek Wedding propelled Vardalos’ comedy career to new heights and became one of the highest-grossing romantic comedies of all time.
Directed by Joel Zwick, My Big Fat Greek Wedding follows Fotoula “Toula” Portokalos , a young Greek-American woman who falls in love with the definitely not Greek Ian Miller . Featuring a stellar supporting cast that includes the late Michael Constantine as Toula’s Windex bottle-toting father Gus and Lainie Kazan as Toula’s mother Maria, the charming film spawned a short-lived TV sequel series and a 2016 sequel film, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2.

For now, fans of the first two films have a lot to look forward to with the upcoming My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3.
