“Vow” tells the real-life story of a newlywed New Mexico couple, played by McAdams and Tatum, who end up in a car crash. The wife is put in a coma, where she is cared for by her devoted husband. When she comes to, without any memory of her husband or their marriage, the husband woos her and attempts to wins her heart again.
The project has been in development for more than a decade and at one point was being prepped as a vehicle for Julia ‘Roberts.
McAdams next begins shooting Woody Allen’s film “Midnight in Paris” in July with Owen Wilson, Marion Cotillard and Michael Sheen, then stars in the untitled Terrence Malick project that begins filming in the fall.
McAdams, repped by UTA and Magnolia, next stars in Paramount’s November comedy “Morning Glory.”
“Vow” is the third film that Tatum, repped by UTA and Management 360, has booked this year. The actor is shooting Ron Howard’s “Cheaters,” featuring Vince Vaughn and Kevin James. He filmed “Knockout,” Steven Soderbergh’s all-star action thriller, this past winter.

]]>]]>Rachel McAdams will return, but …
If he’s planning to shoot in the fall, Silver will have to cast his Moriarty soon. Downey is back as Holmes, and Jude Law returns as Dr. Watson. Silver even said that McAdams would reappear but that she wouldn’t be the leading lady this time.
“She’ll be present,” was all Silver would say.
Who do you think should play Moriarty? And for that matter, which Arthur Conan Doyle character could pick up the baton from McAdams?
The start of shooting is not that far away.
First off, Silver thinks it will be ready to shoot before the end of this year. “We’ll start shooting in the fall and coming out maybe the following year,” Silver said on May 22 in Hollywood.
The clues to the sequel are already buried within the first film.
It ends with Holmes identifying his archnemesis, Moriarty. That will be where the second film picks up, says Silver, making the first film a blueprint for who Moriarty will be.
“We want it to be really bold and strong, and Moriarty has got to be a really incredible character,” Silver said. “We spent a movie setting up a character, and now we can make the next movie where we pay that character off.”
Midnight in Paris will see Brody act alongside Rachel McAdams, Marion Cotillard, Kathy Bates, Michael Sheen and Owen Wilson—who he previously worked with in two Wes Anderson films: The Darjeeling Limited and Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Before we see him in Paris, Brody’s will appear on screen in Splice, a sci-fi thriller due out June 4 and in Predators which will be released July 9.

]]>]]>The film, according to the press release, celebrates a young man’s great love for Paris, and simultaneously explores the illusion people have that a life different from their own is better.
A flood of new details on Woody Allen’s mysterious new film project has come from an unlikely source: Woody Allen. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Allen has revealed the full cast and the title of his new film, Midnight in Paris.
We reported last month that Oscar winner Marion Cotillard had joined the cast alongside Owen Wilson. Now Allen has revealed the full cast which includes Rachel McAdams, Michael Sheen, Kathy Bates, Nina Arianda, Tom Hiddleston, Corey Stoll, Mimi Kennedy and Kurt Fuller.
Allen also confirmed the long-rumored involvement of the French First Lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. Not much is known about the story of the film, only that it revolves around a family who travels to Paris on business, including a young engaged couple who have to come to terms with their life.
A release date hasn’t been set for the film, but production was said to start in Paris sometime this summer.
Midnight in Paris comes to theaters in 2011 and stars Owen Wilson, Marion Cotillard, Rachel McAdams, Michael Sheen, Kathy Bates, Nina Arianda, Tom Hiddleston, Corey Stoll. The film is directed by Woody Allen.

]]>Woody Allen Summer Project, as the production is known is helming in early July, it is a part-period, part-contempo comedy that Allen attempted to shoot in Paris in 2006, but abandoned as the city is too expensive.
Since then Allen has come into money thanks to a three-pic financing deal between his Gravier Prods. and Spanish media conglom Mediapro, which co-produced his Vicky, Cristina Barcelona in 2006.
The pact kicked off with You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger and follows on with the Paris pic.

]]>Paramount is pushing back the release of Harrison Ford-Rachel McAdams comedy Morning Glory from July 30 to Nov. 12, saying it wants to position the pic closer to the year-end holidays.
Decision came in response to a test screening of the comedy, which also stars Diane Keaton, Patrick Wilson and Jeff Goldblum.
Roger Michell (Notting Hill, ) directed from a script by Aline Brosh McKenna (The Devil Wears Prada).
Comedy was produced by J.J. Abrams via his Bad Robot shingle and Michell. Bryan Burk also is a producer.
Set against the madcap world of morning television, storyline revolves around a desperate TV producer (McAdams) forced to take a job at the least successful morning show. She tries to revitalize the show by hiring a legendary anchor (Ford), who immediately clashes with his co-host (Keaton).
Exec producers are Sherryl Clark and Guy Riedel.
In its new release slot, Morning Glory opens one week after Todd Phillips’ Robert Downey Jr.-Zach Galifianakis comedy Due Date.
Morning Glory is currently positioned as the only femme-driven wide release on the calendar before and during the Thanksgiving holiday.

]]>First up, it’s been a few months since he heard anything about the American remake of the Guillermo del Toro produced The Orphanage, which was also originally written by del Toro. The needless remake (as they all are) will be directed by Mark Pellington. My source, however, tells me that Rachel McAdams is attached as the lead, a woman who brings her family back to her childhood home, where she opens an orphanage for handicapped children. There, her son begins to communicate with an invisible friend, the same friend who terrorized the mom when she was a child.
I am hedging my bets on this one, however, as while I was attempting to get some confirmation on this casting news, I also saw a copy of Production Weekly note from last December which had Sandra Bullock in the lead. Given the genre, neither female seems a natural fit, but it feels like a movie better suited to McAdams. But then again, Bullock is a better age to play a mother. So, it’s hard to say, but I guarantee that the female role will be played by McAdams, Bullock, or some other woman. I’m leaning toward McAdams, if only because the source on this story seems to have some insight into McAdams’ career.
I say that because the source also revealed to me that McAdams is attached to the Michael Douglas produced We Have Always Lived in the Castle, an adaptation of a 1962 Shirley Jackson novel. Horror scribe Mark Kruger penned the script, which is a horror story that revolves around the Blackwood Family — two sisters and their uncle — forced into seclusion after the poisoning of several of their family members. Complications arise when a dubious long lost cousin arrives to secure the family fortune.
In addition to McAdams, Saoirse Ronan is apparently attached as the other sister, while Michael Douglas is set to play the uncle. If, in fact, both of these casting stories pan out, that’d put McAdams in two horror movies. It’s possible that she is attached to both but may drop out of one before the cast is set. We Have Always Lived in the Castle is still searching for a director.
McAdams is also attached or rumored to be in a Terrence Malick project, a Woody Allen movie, and a movie based on the life of Elliot Ness. I’d also expect her back for the Sherlock Holmes sequel.
