Black Bear has swooped in on a new rom-com with emotional weight and sharp comedy: Honeymoon / Funeral, starring Rebecca Ferguson, Greta Lee, and Carrie Coon. The film, which wrapped in London last September, is now headed for a domestic release under Black Bear’s banner after being shopped at the inaugural Toronto: The Market. No date yet — just the confirmation that it’s moving fast through post-production. The logline alone is a mood: two women meet on a flight from LA to London, one fleeing a broken engagement, the other returning home for a funeral. They spend the week together. That’s all you need to know. Or maybe not. The film’s tone seems to hinge on how much grief and joy can coexist in a single suitcase. Nahnatchka Khan, known for her work on Always Be My Maybe and Totally Killer, directs from a script by Julia Bicknell. It’s her first time behind the camera on a feature this big. MRC financed and oversaw production. FilmNation handles global sales. The trio of leads? All three are considered among the most compelling performers working today. Anderson, Black Bear’s EVP of Acquisitions, called it ‘an original and hilarious story that is deeply human’. A phrase that lands harder when you know the stakes. The film isn’t just about love lost or found. It’s about what happens when people who’ve been left behind find each other mid-flight. And then there’s the rest of Black Bear’s slate. October 23 brings Wicker, a horror-comedy with Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård. Then come Guy Ritchie’s Wife & Dog, David Leitch’s Jason Statham Stole My Bike, and Renée Zellweger in A Woman in the Sun. This isn’t just a release schedule. It’s a statement. Black Bear isn’t chasing trends. It’s building a world where emotion, genre, and star power collide. So what comes next? The trailer. The poster. The first screening. But more than that, how will audiences respond to a rom-com that doesn’t flinch from loss? That’s the real test. Not box office. Not buzz. Just whether it feels true.
