So, there will be a true story version and a based on a true story version of this movie.

Meet The Patels made a splash on the festival circuit as it was a documentary that had the makings of a cross-cultural, intercontinental romantic comedy. Now it’s going to be redone with a script by Geeta V. Patel and Ravi V. Patel, the folks behind and starring in the original documentary through Fox Searchlight.

We wonder if they’re going to make a behind-the-scenes featurette of the remake of what was essentially behind-the-scenes of arranged marriage.

See for yourself in the trailer here, then look for it in theaters on Sept. 11th.
