The 10-minute short film will also reunite most of the cast including Rowan Atkinson, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Mascus Brigstocke, Hugh Grant, Martine McCutcheon, Lucia Moniz, Bill Nighy, Liam Neeson, Keir Charles, Kate Moss and Olivia Olson.
However, as reported by the Independent, Emma Thompson won't be a part of the movie due to the demise of Alan Rickman last year, who portrayed the love interest of the actress in the original film. In an interview, Emma told writer and director Richard Curtis apologized to her for not being able to write anything for her because of Alan. "I said, of course, it would be sad, too sad," said the actress.
