One Day

I am beyond excited for the movie One Day to come out in August. It's based off the book of the same name by David Nichols. Since the book is one of the best I've ever read, it could either be amazing or horrible. However, the screenplay was penned by the book's author, David Nichols, which leads me to believe that the movie will be the former.

One Day is the story of Dexter and Emma, two people who meet on the eve of their graduation from college. Dexter is a handsome, arrogant Casanova and Emma is shy, bookish, and awkward, but the two of them form a connection from the moment they meet. The book explores their relationship and how they grow and change over the next twenty years. Every vignette takes place on the anniversary of the day when they first met.

Another reason I am very much looking forward to this movie is the casting of Jim Sturgess as Dexter and Anne Hathaway as Emma. Both are extraordinary actors and it's apparent from the trailer that they have incredible chemistry. It is also being directed by Lone Scherfig, who is best known for the beautifully complex film, An Education. The film comes out in August.
