According To Nancy Meyers, Rumours Of A Sequel To “The Holiday” Are “Not True”
The actors and crew of the Christmas romance film The Holiday are actually taking a permanent vacation from the series.
Despite recent speculations to the contrary, according to the writer and director Nancy Neyers and actors Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet, there won’t be a follow-up to the most romantic wife-swap ever broadcast.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science responded to Meyer’s Instagram post which denied the claims with three crying emojis as they had lost a future Oscar sweep that would never have happened.
In a statement to People, Winslet provided more confirmation of the claim, saying, “I guarantee that, neither one agent nor representative nor anyone from the first one around has had any communication with me about that, that has never come up. I can tell you that”.
