My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 (Focus Features)

Vardalos discusses My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3

 

“Soon after filming of My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, I began to write the screenplay for the third film,” 

“I wanted to explore the topic of immigration and as always, the dynamics of family. The genesis of this story is that my dad always wanted us to go to his family village up high in the mountains on the mainland of Greece.” 

“But as adults, when my siblings and I would go to Greece, we would always go to the islands because that's where the parties are. In March, 2020, after a period of failing health, I lost my dad. And very soon after that we lost Michael Constantine, who played my father, Gus. I was grieving and processing both during a pandemic. I began to find a way to manage my grief through my fingertips and the screenplay emerged about us fulfilling a father's last wish.”
