Today, Searchlight Pictures announced that it has begun principal photography on Andrew Ahn's "Fire Island", a romantic comedy inspired by Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
The film stars Joel Kim Booster, Bowen Yang, and Margaret Cho, alongside Conrad Ricamora, James Scully, Matt Rogers, Tomas Matos, Torian Miller, Nick Adams, Zane Phillips, Michael Graceffa, Aidan Wharton, Peter Smith, and Bradley Gibson.
"I'm thrilled to be working with the immensely talented cast and crew of FIRE ISLAND, a film that celebrates chosen family with so much heart and humor," said Andrew Ahn. "I'm eager for audiences to experience the magic of Fire Island, from dancing in your underwear with your best friends to falling in love."
"Andrew and Joel have an irreverent, modern take on a beloved romance, infused with versatility and comedy and heart," said Searchlight Pictures' Heads of Film Production DanTram Nguyen and Katie Goodson-Thomas. "This is a fresh and exciting evolution in the genre."
Tony Hernandez, John Hodges and Brooke Posch are producing.
