Will there be a wedding in The Summer I Turned Pretty movie?
Showrunner Jenny Han and stars Lola Tung, Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno appeared on a virtual interview with the Today show on September 18. Savannah Guthrie pointed out that although there was a wedding at the end of the third book in the novel trilogy, the Season 3 finale ended without one.
“Do we get a wedding in the movie?” she asked Jenny Han. “I can say that there is another big milestone for Belly, so we’ll continue with that journey,” Jenny Han replied.
On being asked when we could expect the movie to come out, Han added: “It’s still a little too soon to say. But Sarah Kucserka, my co-showrunner, and I have finished a draft, so we’re chugging along.”
“We don’t know when it’s coming out, but not next year. Still have to make it,” she said.
Guthrie also interacted with Lola Tung, who played the protagonist Belly in the series. On being asked what she could potentially reveal about the upcoming movie, Tung said: “I mean, not much.”
