Scott Speedman (“The Strangers,” “My Life Without Me”) is in negotiations to join Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum in the upcoming romantic drama “The Vow” directed by Michael Sucsy (“Grey Gardens”).
The story centers on the real-life story of a newly wed New Mexico couple, Kim and Krickitt Carpenter (McAdams and Tatum), whose lives are turned upside down when they are involved in a car accident that leaves the wife with no memory of her new partner. The husband must then attempt to win her heart all over again. Things get a slight twist when Kim’s former fiancé (Speedman) enters the picture and tries “to rekindle a romance in her amnesiac state.”
Honestly, this sounds very much like Nicholas Sparks-esque material, but with the true story angle and some decent talent involved we’ll give it a shot. Production begins next month in Toronto.
