Am păstrat leapșa asta atât de mult încât deja s-au terminat Jocurile Olimpice ^^” Anyways... tot mi se pare grozavă și zic că merge făcută chiar și cu întârziere :D * leapșa furată de aici ;) *
Hell-o! It seems like "The statistical probability of love at first sight" has an Oliver! Robert Sheehan who played Simon in "The Mortal Instruments" will join Hailee Steinfeld in this adaption. We talked about the adaption here, you can find an interview with Jennifer E. Smith here and a book review here (ro). Production is set to begin later this year.
I don't know what to say about the actors, but I hope they'll fit perfectly on the roles. What do you think about it?

Good news for JENNIFER E. SMITH's fans! She wrote a sequel for "This Is What Happy Looks Like" witch means more Ellie and Graham adventures. She asked for her readers to vote their favourite cover and this is how the final cover looks like. Isn't it amazing?! *.* #loveit
"Ellie O’Neill and Graham Larkin fell hard for each other when a misspelled email address unexpectedly brought them together. Now, over a year has passed since they said goodbye with the promise to stay in touch, and their daily emails have dwindled to nothing. Ellie is a freshman in college and has told herself to move on, and Graham has kept himself busy starring in more movies, as well as a few tabloid columns. But fate brought these two together once before—and it isn’t done with them yet.
In this sequel novella to This Is What Happy Looks Like, Jennifer E. Smith revisits two beloved characters to tell the story of one magical night in Manhattan. When Ellie and Graham come face to face once more, can they get past the months of silence and the hurt feelings to find their happily-ever-after again?"
Here's the cover and the synopsis of the "main" book. If you want to read my opinion, I made a review here - for the romanian version of the book (you can translate it by changing the main language of the blog hitting the "Translate" button on the right side of the blog). Also you can read the interview she gave us here. ^-^ #enjoy
"When teenage movie star Graham Larkin accidentally sends small town girl Ellie O'Neill an email about his pet pig, the two seventeen-year-olds strike up a witty and unforgettable correspondence, discussing everything under the sun, except for their names or backgrounds.
Then Graham finds out that Ellie's Maine hometown is the perfect location for his latest film, and he decides to take their relationship from online to in-person. But can a star as famous as Graham really start a relationship with an ordinary girl like Ellie? And why does Ellie want to avoid the media's spotlight at all costs?"

Hailee Steinfeld will star in The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, Dustin Lance Black's adaptation of the popular YA novel written by Jennifer E. Smith. She played in movies like "Romeo & Juliet", "3 Days to Kill", "Ten Thousand Saints" and "Pitch Perfect 2". I don't know if she's a good actress, but I hope she won't be a disappointment ;)
Bruna Papandrea, Caroline Kaplan and Steve Hutensky are producing the project, which The Exchange will be selling at AFM in November. CAA is handling domestic sales rights.
Set over a 24-hour period, First Sight follows a girl who, while stuck at JFK aiport as she makes her way to London for her father's second wedding, meets a boy who seems perfect. The story is described as being "about family connections, second chances and first loves that "will make you believe that true love finds you when you're least expecting it," according to The Exchange.
Here is the book review I made on blog. Excited for the news? I know I am!

"The producers, they've been wonderful about running everything past me. I give input on the script and various drafts of it. I've been shocked about how collaborative they've been, because I’ve heard stories of [authors] who don't know anything that's happening in a movie," she said. "This is not a big studio thing. This is an independent producer. It's a passion project for everybody and they've been amazing about letting me be in it at all. I'm really grateful for that." said Jennifer.

Jennifer E. Smith este autoarea mai multor romane pentru tineri, precum "The Comeback Season", "You Are Here", "The Storm Makers" si "Uite, Asa Arata Fericirea" (publicata de curand la aceeasi editura). Are un master in creative writing la Universitatea St. Andrews din Scotia, iar in prezent lucreaza ca editor in New York. Cartile i-au fost traduse in 28 de limbi, iar romanul "Probabilitatea Statistica De A Te Indragosti La Prima Vedere" este deja un bestseller international, cu un film in productie. Dustin Lance Black, scenaristul si regizorul viitoarei ecranizari, apreciaza ca povestea are potentialul de a fi "Cand Harry a cunoscut-o pe Sally" pentru tanara generatie.
Pe scurt:
"Graham Larkin si Ellie O Neil nu s-au intalnit niciodata, dar ajung sa se cunoasca - fie si numai virtual - atunci cand Graham ii trimite ei, accidental, un e-mail despre purcelusul sau, pe care-l tine ca animal de companie. Intre cei doi tineri de saptesprezece ani - care locuiesc in parti opuse ale tarii si nici macar nu-si cunosc prenumele adevarate - debuteaza o relatie sincera si spirituala, prin corespondenta electronica.
Parerea mea:
Graham si Ellie isi impartasesc detalii despre vietile, sperantele si temerile lor. Insa nu-si destainuie unul altuia totul. Graham nu cunoaste secretul din familia lui Ellie, iar Ellie n-are habar ca viata lui Graham se desfasoara in lumina reflectoarelor.
Cand Graham profita de ocazia de a-si petrece o bucata de timp in Henley, oraselul lui Ellie, din statul Maine, el incearca sa mute relatia din mediul online in cel personal. Dar e posibil ca doua persoane apartinand unor lumi atat de diferite sa fie impreuna?
Intinzandu-se pe perioada unei veri caniculare, si surprinzand un punct de rascruce din existenta celor doi protagonisti, actiunea noului roman al lui Jennifer E. Smith dovedeste, intr-o maniera subtila si fermecatoare, ca viata -la fel ca si dragostea - este plina de neprevazut."
Parerea mea:
Viata lui Ellie se schimba atunci cand primeste un mail de la un necunoscut despre un purcel de companie. Baiatul ii cerea sa aiba grija de Wilbur cat timp el este plecat, dar greseste adresa de mail, iar asta ii face pe cei doi sa corespondeze din ce in ce mai mult. Ei nu se cunosc, nici numele adevarate nu si le stiu, dar as fi preferat sa curga ceva mai mult aceasta poveste neobisnuita dintre ei in loc sa aflu direct despre ce este vorba.
Baiatul s-a dovedit a fi unul dintre cei mai doriti adolescenti din intreaga lume: actorul Graham Larkin! El afla unde sta Ellie si aranjeaza totul astfel incat sa vina sa filmeze in Maine, in orasul ei. Urmeaza sa filmeze timp de o luna, ultima parte a unei trilogii renumite, alaturi de partenera lui, Olivia.
Graham stie un lucru: ca trebuie s-o gaseasca pe Ellie, iar intalnirea celor doi, la inceput accidentala, o face pe Ellie sa-si doreasca sa nu-l fi cunoscut niciodata. Nu se putea intalni cu un star. Nici macar nu era posibil sa fi vorbit cu unul timp de saptamani intregi!
Cei doi ajung sa treaca peste neintelegeri, dar Ellie ascunde un secret si cand Graham afla, pleca impreuna cu ea in cautarea tatalui ei, senatorul Paul Whitman, cu o... barca furata. Aceasta calatorie ii duce si in mai multe belele, mai ales ca fusesera prinsi cu o seara in urma de un paparazzi. Pe care Graham l-a lovit. Pentru a o apara pe Ellie. Asta inseamna publicitate negativa pentru starul Graham Larkin si... aflarea secretului lui Ellie.

Ei trebuie sa ajunga inaintea stirilor la senator si sa se intoarca pentru a explica totul mamei si lui Harry - impresarul lui Graham, dar oare reusesc sa faca asta fara ca cineva sa fie ranit sau sa intre si in alte incurcaturi? Dar cand se vor intoarce, oare va mai fi totul ca inainte?
Cartea m-a dezamagit foarte mult. Ma asteptam la ceva mai mult de la autoare, dar si de la actiunea propriu-zisa care putea sa evolueze cumva. Se pare ca autoarea se bazeaza foarte mult pe descriere si pe un stil obiectiv, care sincer, nu-mi prea place :/

Pe de alta parte, simt ca am tras de mine cumva sa termin cartea care, apropo, a avut un sfarsit aiurea si deloc ceva 'wow'. Ma asteptam la altceva! Iar titlul, nu prea are legatura cu continutul si cum la 'Probabilitatea statistica...' a fost exact cireasa de pe tort sau cheia unui lacat, aici, cred ca a fost mai mult ceva spontan. 'Uite, asa arata fericirea'. Pentru Ellie fericirea e manifestata diferit (rasaritul, apusul, marea etc), dar pentru Graham? Nu prea inteleg :/
Cert e ca, desi e o carte cu un stil aparte, iar infatisarea te tenteaza, interiorul e cam lipsit de substrat. Poate ca e ceva la care trebuie sa meditez, ceva profund, dar eu nu am gasit nimic asemanator, asa ca mda... Nu pot spune ca a fost un cliseu sau o carte care nu merita pentru ca nu e asa! Dar nici ceva extraordinar nu e... :( Am sa-i dau 'puncte' in plus pentru originalitate, stil, poveste si aspect, dar cam atat, din pacate :/
Nota:
Trailer (pentru ca altul nu am gasit):
