After Many Delays, 'The Time Traveler's Wife' Set For Cinematic Release, Stars McAdams and Bana
Certain things are never a good sign. When you get "invited" into your boss's office. When your wife calls you by the mailman's name...in bed. And when your craptacular romantic drama about a time-traveler has been shelved for well over a year.
That last one has happened to Robert Schwentke's film adaptation of the best-selling novel "The Time Traveler's Wife." A rewrite, a reshoot, and many nervous film executives later, the film is finally set to be released on August 12th.
I'm just gonna throw this out there: hasn't anyone learned anything from "The Lake House"? Time traveling romance movies don't work. Time traveling movies barely even work.
So who thinks this has any potential? Anybody have any time traveling romance stories? Did they end happily? Or did his/her 18th century wig turn you off too much to keep a serious romance going?

Sometimes they work.
It’s time to read a great new romantic comedy, entitled Classes Apart.
This is an adult sporting comedy that follows the fortunes of Paul Marriot, the secretary of the Barnstorm Village Sunday soccer team and coach of a school cricket team in Yorkshire, England. The story describes the remarkable camaraderie between the players and supporters of this little club and their desire to achieve success. The team had previously been known more for its antics off the field, rather than their performances on it.
During his time at the club he meets and becomes involved with Emma Potter, who is the sister of James Potter, a major player for their bitter rivals Moortown Inn. Thus, begins an entangled web of romance and conflict. He also begins working at Derry High School, a school with a poor reputation of academic success, where he becomes coach of the school cricket team. Here he develops an amazing relationship with the children and they embark on an epic journey.
