Since November 2009Movie News: Something Borrowed (Emily Giffin)
December 3rd, 2009 by Leah
Luke Greenfield (“The Girl Next Door”) has fallen for “Something Borrowed” and will direct the romance, produced by Alcon Entertainment toppers Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson along with Hilary Swank and Molly Smith through their 2S Films banner.
Aaron Lubin and Pamela Schein Murphy of Wild Ocean Films will also produce. “Something Borrowed,” based on Emily Giffin’s debut novel of the same name, is being fast-tracked for a shoot in the spring and summer.
Greenfield produced Universal’s “Role Models.” Swank and Smith collaborated with Alcon on the romantic comedy “P.S. I Love You,” starring Swank and Gerard Butler with Alcon financing and producing.
Jennie Urman penned the script, which centers on a Manhattan attorney who becomes involved with her best friend’s fiancé following her 30th birthday, forcing her to decide between a life-long friend and the man of her dreams.
Greenfield is repped by CAA and Urman is repped by UTA.

I absolutely cannot wait for this movie. I really really really hope Hilary Swank stars as Rachel as I think she’s a hugely talented actress and I loved her as Holly in PS, I Love You. Something Borrowed is one of my favourite chick lit books ever so I truly cannot wait for it to be transferred to the big screen. The IMDB page for Something Borrowed says it’ll be released in 2011! Who would you cast as Rachel, Dex and Darcy? As I said, I’d love to see Hilary Swank as Rachel or maybe Anne Hathaway (I love her) however I have no idea who I’d cast for Dex or Darcy.

I gasped when I saw your headline! Soooo excited about this. I loved this book and it would make a great movie.
I could definitely see Anne Hathaway as Rachel.
I always imagined Darcy as Catherine Zeta Jones!
Rachel- Rachel McAdams
Darcy- Jessica Alba or Kate Bosorth
Dex- Henry Cavill
Ethan- Ryan Reynolds or Hayden Christensen
Marcus- Taylor Kitsch
Personally, I will be extremely disappointed if Hillary Swank is cast as Rachel. I did not like her performance in P.S. I Love You. I just don’t think she belongs in romantic comedies. However, her performance in Gone Baby Gone was great, that’s the kind of movie she should stick to! Here’s my pick:
Rachel: Rebecca Hall
Darcy: Jessica Alba
Dex: Eric Dane
Marcus: Taylor Kitsch or Adrien Grenier
Rachel-Isla Fisher
Darcy- Rachel McAdams
Dex-Jude Law
Marcus-Adrien Grenier or maybe Jason Schwartzman.
Oh Mr. Butler, such a guy
i love the acting skills of Gerard Butler. he is definitely a great action star.’”"
don’t you just love the eyes of Rachel McAdams? she has some pretty eyes.,-`
Jude Law could win the oscar award for best actor.;:*
