Parties and booze abound in 'Fire Island,' Hulu's gay take on 'Pride and Prejudice'

"Pride and Prejudice" is being remade again — this time as the queer rom-com "Fire Island," a feature-length film from Searchlight Pictures.

Stand-up comedian and "Big Mouth" star Joel Kim Booster wrote and executive produced the film, whose first trailer was released Monday. Booster also stars alongside "Saturday Night Live" actor Bowen Yang. The two play best friends who take a summer trip to Fire Island — known as one of America's first gay beach towns, located off the south shore of Long Island, N.Y.

They reunite their "makeshift little family" that consists of longtime pals they met while working at a "cursed brunch spot" a decade earlier and converge on a vacation home hosted by another friend played by Margaret Cho.
