Kristin Scott Thomas turns family tragedy into box office gold as she directs Scarlett Johansson in her most personal film yet

British actress Kristin Scott Thomas is set to release her directorial debut, My Mother’s Wedding, on August 8, featuring a star-studded cast including Scarlett Johansson, Sienna Miller, and Emily Beecham. The film, which premiered at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival under the title North Star, tells a deeply personal story inspired by Thomas’s own family history.

According to People, the 65-year-old actress not only directs but also writes, produces, and stars in the film as Diana, a character based on her own mother. The story follows three sisters, played by Johansson, Miller, and Beecham, who gather for their mother’s third wedding following the deaths of her previous two husbands.
