What is in the trailer of Shotgun Wedding?
The trailer clip introduces a beautiful couple, Darcy and Tom, who are having their wedding on the island of their dreams. Obviously, no particular day is complete without the odd family of the couple, a hot ex on the guest list, and cold feet, but it's probably only butterflies.
It takes a 180-degree turn when a group of dangerous pirates shows up without invitation, hijacking the marriage procession and continuing total chaos. Darcy and Tom, on the other hand, won't sink without a battle. From carrying a live grenade through the dense forest to shooting a gun at the roof of their car, the couple needs to step up to the plate to save their loved ones before it's too late. Shotgun Wedding trailer was released on October 4, 2022, by Prime Video.
