SAFE HAVEN - More Nicholas Sparks Joy

I’m thrilled that Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough have agreed to come aboard Safe Haven Movie—it’s hard to think of an actor better-suited to play the character of Alex than Josh, and Julianne will bring a combination of vulnerability and strength to the role of Katie. They are both such talented and charismatic individuals – and best of all, they have tremendous personal chemistry, which is essential for this film.  NICHOLAS SPARKS


I completely agree Nicholas - and I know we here at Stars Hollow are more than happy about seeing the delightful Josh in one of your movies.  Personally I am extra thrilled to find out that Julianne will also be gracing our screens again.  I have a little girl crush on Julianne so I'm giving 2THUMBS UP to this casting.

SAFE HAVEN - 
When a mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the small North Carolina town of Southport, her sudden arrival raises questions about her past. Beautiful yet self-effacing, Katie seems determined to avoid forming personal ties until a series of events draws her into two reluctant relationships: one with Alex, a widowed store owner with a kind heart and two young children; and another with her plainspoken single neighbor, Jo. Despite her reservations, Katie slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down roots in the close-knit community and becoming increasingly attached to Alex and his family.

But even as Katie begins to fall in love, she struggles with the dark secret that still haunts and terrifies her . . . a past that set her on a fearful, shattering journey across the country, to the sheltered oasis of Southport. With Jo's empathic and stubborn support, Katie eventually realizes that she must choose between a life of transient safety and one of riskier rewards . . . and that in the darkest hour, love is the only true safe haven.
