"charm, wit, and sensitivity... the perfect balance between funereal and funny."
WORLD PREMIERE AT EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
GENRE: Comedy
SYNOPSIS: When a reluctant bride-to-be's fiance drops dead, she insists on marrying him anyway - vowing to overcome public opinion, the law of the land, and her loved one's objections.
And Mrs explores the complexity and stages of grief through the perspective of Gemma (Aisling Bea) who decides to honour her promise to her late fiancé, Nathan (Colin Hanks), and marry him after his death, despite the lack of understanding of her family and friends.
Aisling Bea delivers a brilliant performance as the strong and jokey Gemma, conveying beautiful moments throughout of honesty and rawness.
Colin Hanks plays the adorably-in-love Nathan in Gemma’s flashbacks and hallucinations, further cementing her desire and commitment to him for the rest of her life.
Helping Gemma get to the alter is Nathan’s free-spirited sister, Audrey (Billie Lourd). Just like her brother, Audrey is passionate about love and romance, she manages to make Gemma’s quest for marriage go viral. #corpsebride

EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
A revitalised Edinburgh International Film Festival (EIFF) will run from August 15 to August 21, 2024.
Spanning 7 days, the relaunched EIFF will honour 70+ years of festival history, showcasing the very best talent in filmmaking in a re-energised format that is rooted in a local Scottish context whilst embracing the international diversity of creative expression. The programme will launch on Wednesday 10 July at 5pm, with tickets on sale Thursday 11 July at 12noon.
EIFF is poised to accelerate the discovery of new talent through the inauguration of two major competitions, The Sean Connery Prize for Feature Filmmaking Excellence and The Thelma Schoonmaker Prize for Short Filmmaking Excellence, with significant prize-money awarded to the filmmakers.
The EIFF’s August fixture now runs in parallel to a host of creative festivals taking place in Edinburgh, including Edinburgh International Festival and the renowned Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which sells millions of tickets to cultural connoisseurs from around the world. The EIFF will encourage general audiences, film buffs and industry professionals to make the trip this summer to Edinburgh, which is universally recognised as a place of beauty, history, discovery and adventure.
Helmed by Festival Director Paul Ridd and Festival Producer Emma Boa, the team aims to create a world-class showcase for independent film and filmmaking talent. Former Acquisitions Executive Ridd is supported by an expanding Board, including Chair, Andrew Macdonald of DNA Films, producer of the iconic Edinburgh-based film Trainspotting, and Amy Jackson, producer of last year’s BAFTA award- winning indie, Aftersun. EIFF 2024 is supported by Screen Scotland.
