“They know what they are doing": Victor Levin on directing Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder for 'Destination Wedding'

Levin says the casting process for 'Destination Wedding' was the easiest one he has ever been through in his life.
UPDATED AUG 31, 2018

If deep and inspiring conversations about life, relationships, and happiness between two inherently flawed characters, is your cup of tea, then the upcoming ‘Destination Wedding’ should be in your must-watch list. Although a huge chunk of the film, starring Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder, is about loss, pain, and inability to participate in life, in itself the film is a celebration of choosing to live over giving up on life.  

Director Victor Levin tells Meaww that ‘Destination Wedding’ narrates the 'tale of the moment at which you decide to keep trying rather than giving up,” and for that was the "driving force.” “That was why I thought it was a good story,” he says.  

Ryder plays the hopeless and embittered Lindsay and Reeves plays the eternally pessimistic Frank in the film, and essentially, they are the only two character in the films at least the speaking characters, except for whoever is talking on the TV.
