For her next project, Lone Scherfig (the Oscar-nominated director behind Carey Mulligan‘s breakout drama An Education), has tackled an adaptation of David Nicholls‘ bestselling novel One Day. Adapted by the writer himself, Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess lead the film alongside Patricia Clarkson, Ken Stott, Romola Garai and Rafe Spall. I’m a sucker for romance films that span years, and along with Scherfig’s talent, I’m definitely looking forward to this one. It also be interesting to see Hathaway’s one role before she dons her Catwoman outfit for The Dark Knight Rises. Check out the trailer below via Yahoo.
Synopsis:
After only one day together in 1989, Emma Morley (played by Ms. Hathaway) and Dexter Mayhew (played by Mr. Sturgess) cannot stop thinking about one another. Over the next twenty years, key moments of their relationship are revealed on the same day – July 15th – of each year. Dex and Em face friendship and fights, hopes and missed opportunities, laughter and tears. And as the true meaning of this one crucial day is revealed, they must come to grips with the nature of love and life itself.
One Day hits theaters August 19th, 2011.
