Production
In June 2022, it was revealed that Scarlett Johansson and Kristin Scott Thomas were working together on a new film that was set to be the latter's first directing role.[6] That same month, Sienna Miller, Freida Pinto and Emily Beecham were added to the cast.[7] Filming of a wedding took place on location in Hampshire at St. Mary's Church, Ashley, and on parts of The Grange Hampshire estate near Alresford in June 2022, while Johansson was reported to be filming naval scenes on HMS Prince of Wales in Portsmouth.[8][9][10]
Principal photography was reported as being completed by the end of July 2022, with Scott Thomas being quoted as saying she found the experience "exhilarating" and that it was "thrilling to create this fictional family using my own childhood memories as a springboard."[11][12] The film marks the third time that Scott Thomas and Johansson have played mother and daughter respectively, following The Horse Whisperer (1998) and The Other Boleyn Girl (2008).[13]
In July 2023, the film was renamed to North Star ahead of its world premiere.[3] In February 2025, the film was then renamed back to its original title after being acquired by Vertical.[14]
Release
My Mother's Wedding had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on 7 September 2023.[2] It is scheduled to be released in the United States on 8 August 2025.[15]
