Emily Blunt in Engagement Games
26 September 2010 4:06 PM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
She’s young, lovely and very talented, and she’s best known from titles like The Devil Wears Prada, Wind Chill, Dan In Real Life, Charlie Wilson’s War and The Wolf Man.
But now, Emily Blunt reportedly circling a new comedy project titled Engagement Games.
As you see, another movie that already sounds interesting…but only as a bad joke.
Here’s the description: “a comedy about three sisters who get engaged at once and will stop at nothing to get their mother’s wedding ring.
The father then apparently arranges some form of “Family Olympics” in order to determine who will get the ring.” Yeah, well.
Penned by Rachel Specter (“Just Go With It”) and Audrey Wauchope (“Breaking Upwards”), Engagement Games has no director attached yet, but we definitely expect to hear someone experienced in the romantic-comedy genre to come on board soon.
So, if anyone’s interested, »

Emily Blunt to Play Engagement Games
22 September 2010 11:56 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Emily Blunt to play Engagement GamesEmily Blunt has signed on to star in Engagement Games (previously known as Wedding Games), according to Pajiba.
The comedy centers on three sisters who get engaged at once and will stop at nothing to get their mother's wedding ring. The dad settles the dispute with a game of "Family Olympics."
Columbia is developing the movie, based on a script from Rachel Specter and Audrey Alison Wauchope.
No production date has been set.
Emily Blunt's attachment means there's two brides-to-be yet to be attached. Who would you like to see compete for mom's wedding ring? And as far as grooms go, this movie screams, or perhaps just needs, Zach Galifianakis. »
Emily Blunt Attached to Engagement Games
22 September 2010 8:43 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Emily Blunt (The Young Victoria) is attached to star in Engagement Games which, true, sounds like yet another wedding comedy. And in all likelihood, it will be. But the premise is splendidly wacky enough to be… something. Pajiba describes Games as “a comedy about three sisters who get engaged at once and will stop at nothing to get their mother’s wedding ring”; the father sets up a “Family Olympics” to determine who gets the ring. Rachel Specter and Audrey Wauchope, who currently have only acting credits on their resumes, penned the script for Columbia.
If Blunt signs on, who do you like for the sister roles? Amy Adams? Isla Fisher? I see Anna Kendrick in this for some reason. Blunt will next appear in the Jack Black comedy Gulliver’s Travels on December 22nd, followed by the sci-fi thriller The Adjustment Bureau on March 4, 2011. »

Emily Blunt Attached to Star in ‘Engagement Games’
22 September 2010 5:30 PM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Move over Bride Wars, you have competition. The film is Engagement Games (previously titled Wedding Games), and it's a comedy about "three sisters who get engaged at once and will stop at nothing to get their mother’s wedding ring." But wait, there's more! "The dad settles the dispute with a game of 'Family Olympics.'" Why as talented an actress as Emily Blunt would lower herself to star in such a film, I'm not sure, but I hope she's getting a big paycheck out of it. Pajiba reports that the movie is being developed by Columbia, with a script written by Rachel Specter and Audrey Wauchope, both of whom are actresses with no former writing credits to their name. Might I suggest another title, one which better suits Hollywood's perverse desire for gimmicky wordplay? Columbia, I present to you: Rules of EnGAMEment. Yes, yes, I know. No need to thank me. »

Emily Blunt Circling Engagement Games

Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada) is reportedly circling a new comedy project titled Engagement Games.
Penned by Rachel Specter (Just Go With It) and Audrey Wauchope (Breaking Upwards), Engagement Games centers on three sisters who all get engaged at once and will stop at nothing to get their mother’s wedding ring. The dad settles the dispute with a game of Family Olympics.
No director is yet attached, but expect someone experienced in the romantic-comedy genre to come on board soon, as this sounds like another bland Bride Wars type film. Not something I expected an actress of Blunt’s caliber to be interested in.
