Black Bear Acquires Nahnatchka Khan Rom-Com ‘Honeymoon / Funeral’ Starring Rebecca Ferguson, Greta Lee & Carrie Coon

"Honeymoon/Funeral," a romantic comedy starring Rebecca Ferguson, Greta Lee, and Carrie Coon, is set for release domestically by Black Bear, according to an announcement on Friday. Directed by Emmy-nominated Nahnatchka Khan and written by Julia Bicknell, the film also features Carrie Coon and is produced by Bicknell and Jennifer Carreras for Fierce Baby.

MRC financed and oversaw production, with FilmNation Entertainment handling worldwide sales. Black Bear's EVP of acquisitions, Katie Anderson, expressed excitement for the film, praising the performances of Ferguson, Lee, and Coon as "deeply human" and anchored by their "three of the best actresses working today." The film follows two women who meet on a flight from Los Angeles to London—one heading to her honeymoon and the other returning home for her mother's funeral—and spend a week together.

Honeymoon/Funeral is part of Black Bear's release slate, which includes Wicker, Wife & Dog, Jason Statham Stole My Bike, A Woman in the Sun, Jonah, and Atmosphere. MRC, known for projects like The Love Hypothesis, Wuthering Heights, American Fiction, and hit TV series such as House of Cards, will handle the film's distribution.
