‘Bride Hard’ Trailer: Rebel Wilson Kicks Ass as a Secret Agent Turned Maid of Honor in Action Comedy
Rebel Wilson is making her action debut with genre-bending comedy “Bride Hard.”
The “Bridesmaids” alum reunites with her former “Pitch Perfect” co-star Anna Camp — who plays the bride of the title — for the feature directed by “Con Air” helmer Simon West. Wilson plays a secret agent whose work gets in the way of her personal life during the weekend she’s the maid of honor at a destination wedding. Anna Chlumsky, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Gigi Zumbado, Stephen Dorff, and Justin Hartley also star.
The official synopsis reads: “For badass secret agent Sam (Rebel Wilson), blending in has never been part of the mission — until she’s maid of honor at her best friend’s extravagant destination wedding. Out of her element and surrounded by high-maintenance bridesmaids and a strict ‘no weapons’ policy, Sam is determined to prove she can be there for her friend — even if emotional support isn’t exactly her specialty. But when a team of mercenaries crashes the party and takes the guests hostage, Sam is thrown into a fight unlike any mission before — one where she can’t risk blowing her cover or ruining the big day. As she takes on the bad guys in a high-stakes battle disguised as a fairy-tale affair, she realizes the real threat might be closer than she thinks. Now, it’s bridezilla vs. bazookas as Sam dodges bullets, brawls in heels, and tries to survive both the armed assailants and the wedding planner’s wrath. Some missions require the perfect cover. This one just requires the perfect dress.”
Wilson recently made her directorial debut with musical “The Deb,” which debuted at TIFF 2024. The film spurred a defamation lawsuit between Wilson and producers Amanda Ghost and Gregor Cameron and executive producer Vince Holden, whom Wilson alleged embezzled funds from the indie feature and harassed the lead actress. Ghost, Cameron, and Holden later filed an amended joint legal defamation complaint against Wilson.
“Bride Hard” premieres June 20.
