CASTING GOLD!!

Channing Tatum, the sweetest bogan on the planet has a new film in the works called ‘Vow’ and is based on a true story about a young woman (played by ‘The Notebook’s Rachel McAdams) who loses all recent memory in a car accident and struggles to rebuild her identity. It’s the real-life story of a couple — Kim and Krickitt Carpenter — that’s also chronicled in a book called “The Vow: The Kim and Krickitt Carpenter Story‘ and dates from 1993, two months after their marriage, when their car was hit from behind by a truck.
Here’s a description of the book…


“Life as Kim and Krickitt Carpenter knew it was shattered beyond recognition on November 24, 1993, two months after their marriage, when their Ford Escort was hit from behind by a fast-moving truck. A massive head injury left Krickitt in a coma for weeks. When she finally emerged from the coma, she recognized her parents and everyone else — but she didn’t know Kim. She had no idea who he was. The ‘Krickitt’ Kim had married essentially died in the accident. The Vow is the true tale of the reconstruction of two lives and a marriage after an event so shattering that most others would have parted ways long ago. Though it was not easy, and it tested every fiber of who they were, Kim and Krickitt fell in love all over again.” (thanks channingtatumunwrapped.com)

Seriously - can the casting get any better for this film?? Considering 'Dear John' and 'The Notebook' are the highest grossing romantic films of all time I'm guessing this one will romp it in.

  2. First thing I have to say about this is, what sort of name is Krickett. Maybe ok for a daytime soap, but this is a true story. Seriuosly! And Carpenter, do you think they are any relation??? Now that would excite me.

    I know already that I will love this film, and the casting lineup ensures this!! Yay Chan, you are rocking some roles!
