The first pictures from the Love Actually follow-up are here and everyone’s getting excited

It's the real deal.

The news that Love Actually was getting a follow-up (ten minutes and on TV but you know, it's something) was announced yesterday and predictably, the internet had a freakout. Now, the some behind-the-scenes images from the shoot have been revealed, courtesy of Emma Freud, the scriptwriter who came up with the goods for the film we all know and love (most of us, anyway). There have been plenty of reimaginings, though none with the original cast back together. https://twitter.com/JOE_co_uk/status/809110721384431617 Cosmopolitan noticed that Freud had been sharing the images on her Twitter account, with several of the key cast members making an appearance, more than a decade on from the original. There's Liam Neeson, or Daniel for the purpose of the film. Also, Sam played by Thomas Brodie-Sangster. https://twitter.com/emmafreud/status/832196418974646277 And here's Olivia Olson (Joanna) hanging out with the man of the moment, Richard Curtis. https://twitter.com/emmafreud/status/832161827761029120 Also Karl, remember Karl (Rodrigo Santoro)? https://twitter.com/emmafreud/status/832154346653618176 Exciting times!
