Gurinder Chadha, director of Bend It Like Beckham and Bride & Prejudice, is taking a rather more drastic approach to matchmaking in her next film, It's A Wonderful Afterlife, about a mother who goes to extreme lengths to get her daughter married. And here's a new poster to give you a taste of what you're in for.

The plot sees the widowed Mrs Sethi (Shabana Azmi) desperate to see her daughter happily married, and resorting to murder as she gets upset at other families' treatment of her offspring. She's haunted by the ghosts of her victims, but when they realise that their only way to find peace is to help Roopi get married, they start to aid in the marriage plans...

The cast includes Happy Go Lucky's Sally Hawkins, The Full Monty's Mark Addy, Exam's Jimi Mistry, Heroes' Sendhil Ramamurthy and Sex and the City 2's Goldy Notay as the hapless would-be bride at the centre of it.

It's A Wonderful Afterlife is out on April 21 in the UK.
