I found the movie for the perfect date on Valentine’s Day. Dear John, it’s a tear jerker from Nicolas Sparks novel of the same title and directed by Oscar nominated Swedish filmmaker Lasse Hallström, My Life as a Dog, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, The Cider House Rules andChocolat.
Channing Tatum stars with Amanda Seyfried about a couple who fall in love. Yet, Tatum’s character is in the Army and is consistently deployed away from the woman he loves. For seven years they are constantly apart only to stay in touch through a stream of love letters — typical Sparks romance.
I like Tatumin this trailer and Seyfried is brilliant as ever. The movie opens in February 2010, just in time for Valentine’s Day.
From the Hollywood Reporter comes word that Richard Jenkins (Burn After Reading) has joined the cast of Dear John, an upcoming drama in the works at Relativity Media and Screen Gems.
The film will have Jenkins play the father of a young soldier who meets the girl of his dreams while on military leave. Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried play the roles of the soldier and girl, respectively.
Based on Nicholas Sparks’ best-selling novel, the film is being helmed by Lasse Hallstrom and is currently being shot in South Carolina.
Lasse Hallstrom is set to direct Channing Tatum will be directed by Lasse Hallstrom in the movie “Dear John,” a Nicholas Sparks book adaptation that starts production in September.
The story focuses on Tatum, who stars as a soldier while home on leave, falls for a conservative college student.
