Australian Jessica McNamee (“The Loved Ones”) has joined Rachel McAdams, Channing Tatum and Scott Speedman in the romantic drama “The Vow,” directed by Michael Sucsy (“Grey Gardens”).
The story centers on the real-life story of a newlywed New Mexico couple, Kim and Krickitt Carpenter (McAdams and Tatum), whose lives are turned upside down when they are involved in a car accident that leaves the wife with no memory of her new partner. The husband must then attempt to win her heart all over again. Things get a slight twist when Kim’s former fiancé (Speedman) enters the picture and tries “to rekindle a romance in her amnesiac state.” McNamee will play Kim’s younger sister.
Sounds kind of gimmicky and manipulative, but with the McAdams involved, we’ll give it a fair shake. Production begins this month in Toronto. [THR]
