NICHOLAS SPARKS'
'THE CHOICE' MOVIE ADAPTATION
Only last week we've seen the first trailer for the big screen adaptation of Nicholas Sparks's novel THE BEST OF ME, and now the news is that his book
THE CHOICE has been sold for an adaptation too!
Lionsgate will make a movie out of his 2007 bestseller which tells the
story of a long love affair that begins when the couple first met as neighbours in a small coastal town and end up pursuing a relationship
that neither could have foreseen. It spans a decade and traces the
evolution of a love affair that is ultimately tested by life’s most
defining events. A movie on Sparks' THE LONGEST RIDE novel is already in works following a story of a man who is dying in a car crash. As he
remembers his old love while dying, another love story between a young
couple goes on nearby.

Marion Cotillard i like this actress .
ReplyDeleteCheers .
she is always lovely
DeleteI agree
Deleteglad you do
DeleteSome interesting books becoming movies.
ReplyDeletewe do love all Sparks' adaptations!
DeleteAre you excited that Sparks will have another film out?
ReplyDeleteI'm always excited for heartwarming, touching or inspiring films
DeleteVery cool.
DeleteJust came by to say thanks. Just finished my Friday Question for tomorrow. Cucakes vs. Muffins. That's for the idea.
And now, I'm going to get a few chores done before Hubby gets home. Then when I'm done, it's to the Movie Room to watch the last of THE NANNY, on DVD.
Thanks again, Dezzy. Cheers and boogie boogie.
I'm defending the theory that muffins are just sponge and cupcakes are when you top them with icing :) Therefore the name - cup sized cakes.
DeleteI can understand your point of view. For me, it's more a cupcake is airy and lighter in the bake and a muffin, denser and containing fruit or nuts or nothing, but overall a denser bake.
DeleteFrosting, I put on both or on none. I'm not a big big frosting/icing person, per se. Though I once made this orange cream cheese frosting. Holy cow, really really good.
Thanks for the tips on the sil stuff. I almost bought a Valentine one last year. All little hearts, but again, the smell. I had to pass.
Just back from being out. We hit Barnes and then Wally. I didn't see any silicone stuff there, today. They redid their entire bake area.
DeleteWas nice though. Tim had a half-day.
they're probably cheaper to order over the net. We buy them at Chinese stores usually since everything is made in China these days....
DeleteIt used to be harder for me to find stuff, not from China, but I'm noticing a difference in the store near me. Less China.
DeleteMarion Cotillard, makes me dizzy... like when climbing that rope in gym class.
ReplyDeleteI know that you have special feelings for her, Jeremy
DeleteMarion Cotillard? Not a name I'm familiar with???
ReplyDeleteoH. Ray!
DeleteI hope they are done with that Macbeth soon. Waiting, waiting, waiting...
ReplyDeleteHope we get a trailer soon :)
DeleteI've watched/read one too many Nicolas Sparks stories over the years to know better. Spoiler alert: Someone's gonna die. Probably the main male character. I got frustrated with it. I'm sure that's probably how The Fault in Our Stars ends, too...but I'm powering through because I'm told it's the best book in existence.
ReplyDeleteI've heard about it being an extremely beloved book too! It has hordes of fans and I might read it someday
DeleteMarion Cotillard is lovely.
ReplyDeleteindeed
DeleteNicholas Sparks is gold right now, isn't he?
ReplyDeletepure gold
DeleteAnother Spark's love story, the guy is raking it ~ Thanks for the updates Dezzy ~
ReplyDeleteGrace
he does write many books
DeleteCrazy how every Sparks novel gets made into a movie. He's definitely pulling in the dough now! I wonder when "The Rescue" will be made into a movie? I think that was one of my favorites of his.
ReplyDeleteand it is interesting that his book are not made into movies by the same studios... everybody wants him
DeleteMal de Pierres will be interesting, I believe I have read that book
ReplyDeleteglad to hear it, David
DeleteWow, Nicholas Sparks is creating a library of romantic movies. It makes me think about having a Nicholas Sparks love story movie marathon. Perfect for Valentine's Day. TV should consider doing that. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd watch it for sure :) There's nothing I like more than a good romantic movie
