Question

Brooke Shields shared new images to Instagram from her next film, Mother Of The Bride.

The actress, 58, who wished husband Chris Henchy a happy 60th birthday, looked better than ever in summery clothing as she was seen with her costar Miranda Cosgrove, who plays her daughter.

And Brooke was also pictured with Benjamin Bratt, who used to romance Julia Roberts, and is best known for appearing on Law & Order. 

'It's official… MOTHER OF THE BRIDE is coming out on @Netflix on May 9th globally!! We are so excited for you to see it, 45 day countdown,' she wrote, indicating the photos had been taken on location in Thailand, where it was shot for six weeks. 

Brooke stars as Lana, a woman who travels to the Southeast Asian kingdom when her daughter, played by Miranda, announces she is getting married there in a month's time to her boyfriend, played by Sean Teale.

The drama around the hasty nuptials is further complicated when Lana discovers her future son-in-law is the offspring of the man who broke her heart decades ago (Bratt).

Shields, who also serves as an executive producer and opened up about the project in People.  

Bratt, 60, stars as her former love, and the actress said her co-star is 'pretty easy to be a love interest.' 

Chad Michael Murray, 42, appears to a romantic rival for Lana's affection. 

Also starring in the film are Rachael Harris (Suits), Michael McDonald (MADtv), Wilson Cruz (My So-Called Life), Tasneem Roc (The Bureau of Magical Things), in25years.com (visit the next site) and Dalip Sondhi (Frayed). 

Shields said she was happy to take on the project, and gave praise to director Mark Waters and Netflix's Director of Original Film, Christina Rogers.

'[Christina has] been the champion of really pushing and standing behind these stories for women over 40 to be in a romcom, that's not just all' she stated.

'Yes, we've got the focus on the young, beautiful, fresh love, and we want that, but she's not overlooking my demographic. 

'And to have that wish fulfillment of another chance at love and all that.'

Cosgrove, who said she has a good relationship with her own mother, enjoyed working with the mom of two who shares daughters Rowan, 20, and Grier, 17, with Henchy.

During the six-week shoot in Thailand, Shields said the cast bonded over dancing lessons and pickleball practice. 'We had so much pickleball practice, so all our free time was spent either going to dance rehearsal or learning pickleball or practicing pickleball'







'Brooke's just really warm and loving, and she's kind of the type of person that, even if you've only talked to her for an hour, you feel like you've known her a long time, she's just really warm, the former iCarly star said.

The model said the cast bonded over dancing lessons and pickleball practice. 

'We had so much dance rehearsal on our days off, and we ended up just working out together,' the actress revealed. 

'Then we had so much pickleball practice, so all our free time was spent either going to dance rehearsal or learning pickleball or practicing pickleball.'

'It was like we were able to do all of it together and laugh with each other throughout the whole process,' she explained.

Mother of the Bride debuts Mother's Day weekend.
