Margaret Cho, Queen of the Palace

Polymorphously perverse comedian Margaret Cho has been battling on the front lines for the right of same-sex couples to marry, but she hasnâ??t turned her back entirely on hetero unions. Sheâ??s co-starring in the Korean-American rom-com Wedding Palace, about a 29-year-old ad exec (Brian Tee) who has to get married before his 30th birthday to avoid a long-standing family curse. (Sounds more like an excuse for maternal guilt, but weâ??ll go with it.) He meets the girl of his dreams online, but things naturally get complicated when she travels from Seoul to L.A. for the wedding. Choâ??s character is listed as â??The Shaman,â? so one can only wonder how wisdom-ish the dialogue will get during her scenes. Find out for yourself (Ms. Cho will probably announce it on her Twitter account as the date nears) when Wedding Palace heads down the aisle of an indie-movie palace sometime this year.
