The two protagonists of the film are present in the photograph When Harry Met Sally: Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal. And also an iconic sweater that the actor wore in the romantic comedy directed by Rob Reiner from a script by Nora Ephron in 1989. Even the background goes back to the images of the film. But above all, the image of this couple is accompanied by a cryptic message: “It’s finally going to happen. We’re getting together for something iconic. I can’t wait to show it to you,” the performers announce on Instagram 36 years after the premiere.
What could this “meeting” mean? A sequel to the film is almost ruled out, since there have been no announcements in any of the reference film media. The theory that it is a talk about the film or, what is more likely, an advertising campaign with them returning to embody their characters seems more reliable. Every year, for example, brands spend millions bringing together stars from the past for ads for the final game of the Superbowl, which takes place on February 9. In 2012, Matthew Broderick returned to his character of Ferris Bueller from All in one day. In 2019, Macaulay Culkin recreated his adventures alone at home. In 2020, Bill Murray lived again groundhog day. In 2021, Timothée Chalamet became Edward Scissorhands accompanied by Winona Ryder, while Mike Myers and Dana Carvey once again put on their wigs Wayne’s World.
