The 2003 rom-com classic and our fave film of all time Love Actually is actually getting a sequel! It is said to be only be 10 minutes short and is part of a Red Nose Day special, a fund-raising event in the UK organized by the charity Comic Relief.
Most of the cast members are slated to return: Hugh Grant, Keira Knightley, Colin Firth, Liam Neeson, Bill Nighy, Andrew Lincoln, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, and Rowan Atkinson.
The sequel titled Red Nose Day Actually is written by the original director/writer Richard Curtis. Photos of their first day of shooting in London, as expected, were shared online. In the photos, you'll see the story arc of the widower Daniel (Liam Neeson) and his son Sam (Thomas Brodie-Sangster).
