20 years after first collaborating in “Ocean’s Eleven,” Julia Roberts and George Clooney are back together for the upcoming film “Ticket to Paradise.”
Playing ex-spouses with a bitter relationship, Clooney and Roberts have to keep it together at their daughter’s destination wedding. They team up to try to convince their young daughter, played by Kaitlyn Dever, not to make the same mistake they did — getting married. But the pair discovers they may still have more in common than they once thought.
The trailer shows all the shenanigans the exes go through to try to stop the ceremony from happening, all while slowly growing closer together.
“Oh, come on,” is Roberts’ immediate reaction to seeing her ex-husband in the trailer.
Roberts recently spoke to USA TODAY about how refreshing it is to work with a friend like Clooney.
“All the time and energy that you spend getting to know people, getting to understand people, trying to make people comfortable with you, trying to get people to understand where you’re coming from, or how you work, or what you need from them, that’s weeks and weeks of work that doesn’t exist,” Roberts said.
Directed by Ol Parker, who also directed the 2018 Mamma Mia sequel, “Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again,” the film is set in Bali and has a vacation feel.
Roberts is considered the “Queen of Rom Coms” due to fan favorites like “My Best Friend’s Wedding,” “Pretty Woman” and “Notting Hill,” but she has not been in a movie in the genre since 2010. Her return to romantic comedy is already being celebrated by fans.
“Ticket to Paradise” will premiere in theaters October 21.
