"Literally, I could've won like the Nobel Peace Prize and it would've meant nothing," the New York-born actress of a Greek father and French-American mother tells People. "Nothing I'm going to do in my life now is going to top this, unless I carry the Greek torch in the Olympics." In the sequel to the 2002 comedy My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Kampouris, 18, plays Paris, the rebellious daughter of Toula Portokalos-Miller (Nia Vardalos) and Ian Miller (John Corbett).

A sequel to 2002 romantic comedy My Big Fat Greek Wedding is moving forward.
Nia Vardalos wrote the film and starred as Fotoula 'Toula' Portokalos, a lower middle-class Greek American woman who fell in love with the non-Greek upper middle-class Ian Miller, played by John Corbett.
Earlier this year, Vardalos revealed that she was working on the screenplay, which has taken four years to write.
Entertainment Weekly has now confirmed that Universal Pictures will distribute the sequel, which will see Vardalos and Corbett reprise their respective roles.
The film is said to focus on the revelation of a family secret and a "bigger, fatter wedding" which gathers the Portokalos family together again.
Produced by Gold Circle Films, HBO and Playtone, the film will be produced by Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson and Gary Goetzman, and executive produced by Vardalos alongside Paul Brooks, Scott Niemeyer and Steven Shareshian.

10 years ago, a sweet little indie comedy about culture clash and the stresses of planning a wedding took the nation by storm. Made with love and a shoe-string budget of $5 million, it made over $368 million worldwide and became the highest-grossing independent film of all time. What made audiences connect so strongly with My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and has Hollywood learned anything from the success of this semi-autobiographical romantic comedy?
Toula Portokalos' (Nia Vardalos) life is going nowhere. She works in her family's Greek restaurant and endures daily attempts by her well-meaning family to marry her off to a nice Greek boy. Secretly, she pours over college pamphlets and dreams of getting her degree, and when life gives her the chance, she grabs it full-force. As she gains confidence and independence from her family, she loses her Coke-bottle granny glasses and over-sized sweaters, and she meets Ian Miller (John Corbett...

The 4th annual Sydney Underground Film Festival, which runs for three days on Sept. 9-11, will screen about 10 features from all over the world and a veritable ton of short films from even further out there.
The fest will open with the latest documentary by a Hollywood icon. It’s Oliver Stone’s South of the Border, which has the director meeting with South American politicians and dignitaries. (The film opened to mixed reviews here in the States earlier this year.) Also screening is Trash Humpers, the latest film by indie rabble-rouser Harmony Korine, which has been confounding audiences on the indie film fest circuit, and Gaspar Noe’s Enter the Void, which has been earning rave reviews.
The rest of the features in the lineup are an eclectic, oddball concoction, including Mladen Djordjevic‘s Serbian atrocity Life and Death of a Porno Gang, Victor Nieuwenhuijs and Maartje Seyferth’s twisted Netherlands tale Meat,...
