Bette Midler, Megan Mullally, Susan Sarandon, and Sissy Spacek will lead a new comedy film, The Fabulous Four.

Deadline reports that production on the film will kick off in Australia in 2023 as Bleecker Street has acquired the North American rights to the film for a nationwide theatrical release.

Directed by Jocelyn Moorhouse, the film will follow three best friends as they travel to Key West, Florida to be bridesmaids for the surprise wedding of their college girlfriend, Marilyn (Midler).

Once they arrive, their sisterhood is rekindled, the past rises up again in all its glory, and there's enough sparks, drinks and romance to change their lives in the most unexpected ways.
