Gabrielle Union, wife of Heat legend Dwyane Wade, after a well-deserved summer vacation and a grand celebration of her 10th wedding anniversary, it seems Union is ready to start fresh. With a string of recent setbacks behind her, Union is gearing up for a new project that promises to change her luck—both as an actress and producer.

Gabrielle Union recently landed the starring role in the upcoming horror film ‘The Casket Girls’ as reported by Deadline. The movie is being produced by QC Entertainment, the same team responsible for the success of Get Out. The announcement sent waves across social media, with Union herself confirming it on her IG story.

Her last film, Space Cadet, was a major disappointment, scoring a low 4.9 out of 10 on IMDb and flopping financially. Fans are now eager to see her pivot into the horror genre, hoping this new project will be the comeback she needs. What’s more, as a producer, Union has also secured a talented crew.

The film’s writing team, Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant, are best known for their comedic works like Reno 911! and Night at the Museum. However, they’ve also dabbled in horror with Hell Baby and other spooky projects, while director Justin Dyck has credits ranging from Christmas rom-coms to the horror film Anything for Jackson.

The film’s plot is based on a true story of young French women sent to New Orleans in the 1700s, dubbed “Casket Girls” due to their coffin-like luggage. When murders in the city spiked, locals accused them of being vampires or demons. In the movie, Union plays Detective Shay Williams, who, along with her partner, gets trapped in the historic Ursuline Convent with tourists when the casket girls escape after 300 years of imprisonment.

Though the New Orleans setting, filming will take place in Victoria, British Columbia, starting on October 15th. As Union gears up for The Casket Girls, let’s look at his 10th anniversary celebration with Wade.

Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade celebrate 10th anniversary

As many fans know, Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade tied the knot on August 30, 2014, and this year marked a special milestone—ten years of marriage. To celebrate, the couple hosted a stunning destination getaway with family and friends. Union dazzled in a gorgeous all-pink gown, while Wade opted for a sleek beige outfit. But beyond the fashion, the heartfelt words the couple shared with each other stole the show.

Wade, in an emotional speech, reflected on their journey together, admitting that their ninth year had been particularly tough. He openly talked about how they questioned how they had made it this far. But Wade made it clear who deserved the credit for their lasting bond. “A majority of the credit goes to my wife,” he said, acknowledging Union’s strength and support through the challenging times.

“… Thank you for continuing to show me that you ain’t going nowhere… That you’re willing to love me through shortcomings I’ve had and the moments of growth that I have…” Wade said. While Gabrielle, replied with,“What you just said means everything.”

To make the day even more unforgettable, Union surprised Wade by singing You’re Still the One by Shania Twain, after taking special singing lessons just for the occasion. Their daughter, Kaavia, also joined the celebration, sharing on Instagram how her mom’s performance had her in tears.
