SCREEN SCENE
Cecelia Ahern has announced that her 2004 novel Where Rainbows End is to be adapted for the big screen. Directed by Christian Ditter, the film, Love, Rosie, will star Lily Collins (Mirror Mirror) and Sam Cleflin (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire) in the roles of two Irish best friends Rosie and Alex (pictured right with Ahern). The IMDb summary says: "Rosie and Alex are best friends. They are suddenly separated when Alex and his family move from Dublin to America. Can their friendship survive years and miles? Will they gamble everything for true love?" Other movie sites are running a longer summary: "In the film, Rosie Dunne and her best friend Alex take a leap of faith, both on life and on each other, when they decide to go to America together to attend University. But fate has other plans for Rosie who discovers that she is pregnant after a crazy night out with the most popular boy in school. She encourages Alex to go without her, hopeful that she'll catch up with him eventually. Over the next twelve years, their lives change dramatically but the undeniable connection remains. At the back of Rosie's mind is always the question, what if fortune had taken another turn and they were meant to be more than just good friends. When ultimately presented with the opportunity, will they gamble everything for the chance to be together?" The movie is due for release in October 2014. The novel was also known as Love, Rosie and Rosie Dunne, and has a movie tie-in edition due, pictured above right.
