Mission: Marriage is in full effect. Jill Scott, Eve and Regina Hall have been tapped to star in Lifetime’s upcoming original movie With This Ring.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the romantic comedy centers on three best friends who attend a lavish wedding of a fourth on New Year’s Eve and get the itch to be hitched within the next year. They make a vow to hunt down their husbands and set out on a search to find “the one.”
The film is based on the novel “The Vow” from former Essence magazine Editor-in-Chief Angela Burt-Murray that she wrote with Ebony magazine Editor-in-Chief Mitzi Miller and Denene Millner. Tracy Edmonds, Sheila Ducksworth and Gabrielle Union will serve as executive producers while Nzingha Stewart (“The Game”) directs.
Production on With This Ring will begin in August in Cleveland and will debut later this year.
