/Film are reporting that Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter) will take on a new film called The Lucky Ones. Lily Rabe is reportedly his co-star. The film, which is directed by Doug McGrath and adapted from the novel by Nicholas Sparks, is about a US Marine named Logan Thibault. Thibault finds a photo of a woman while stationed in Iraq and feels the photo brings him good luck. When he returns to the US he tracks down the woman (named Elizabeth) who turns out to be a divorced mother.
The report from /Film came about when Christine Vachon updated her Twitter account last night stating she was heading to a Doug McGrath script reading that starred Dan Radcliffe. After the reading, she twittered again, stating that Dan and Lily Rabe were amazing together.
Filming is expected to start in May.
UPDATE: MTV, who acknowledged that this story was very likely, was able to dig around and find more information. They stated that, in fact, Dan and Lily had attended a reading together, but not for The Lucky Ones. Instead, the reading was for a film that has yet to have any financial backing. Their unnamed source stated that the name of the film is Nothing Else Like it on Earth.
Apparently none of the actors have been confirmed yet due to film being in an early state of production. Daniel and Lily were just doing the readings, and no casting decisions have been made. However, the little information that is known about the project is that it is about the building of the Brooklyn Bridge and that Sigourney Weaver and Nathan Lane also read for parts.
“But if they cast the line-up that was at the reading yesterday it will be quite the cast,” our insider shared. “Lily Rabe played the role opposite [Daniel]. She did a pretty incredible job.”
