‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2’ Adds ‘American Odyssey’ Star Elena Kampouris (Exclusive)

Nia Vardalos returns to co-write and star in the sequel, which Kirk Jones will direct and Universal will release

After working with Jason Reitman on “Labor Day” and “Men, Women and Children,” 17-year-old actress Elena Kampouris has been cast in “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2,” a sequel to the hit 2002 comedy that will be distributed by Universal Pictures, TheWrap has learned.

Gold Circle and HBO are presenting the Playtone production, which was written by its Oscar-nominated star Nia Vardalos. She’ll be joined by the rest of the memorable Portokalos family, who come together again for an even bigger, fatter wedding where a family secret will be revealed.

Kampouris should fit right in amongst the ensemble as she’s half-Greek, born to a Greek father and French-American mother.
