Somehow, for Nicholas Sparks, this year is a great year for him as two of his bestsellers will be shown in the big screen and bring to life stories that teaches what true love really means, and about second chances. For the fans of his novels, these are what we are waiting for because, no doubt, Sparks’ novels are classics and teach us lessons about life and love. I don’t know with you, but every year, I’m always looking forward on knowing which novel of his will be brought to life in the big screen. And for the year 2010, I can’t wait for his two novels to be shown.
For the classics, “Dear John” will be shown on February (in time for Valentine’s Day) starring Channing Tatum (“Step Up”, “G.I. Joe”) and Amanda Seyfried (“Mamma Mia”). The story is about a young soldier who falls in love with a conservative college girl, and their love is tested as they face challenges and obstacles brought about by the 9/11 attacks. This is one of Sparks’ novels that brought me to tears while reading it, and so I thought, what more on the big screen? Now that is something to look forward to.
Then on April, one of Sparks’ latest novels, “The Last Song” will be shown starring Miley Cyrus, as a rebellious teenager who has to spend the summer with his estranged father. I have not read this yet, though I have no doubt that this will be a great movie based on the trailer, as well as a good read. Too bad they’re out of stock so far in our bookstore.
There are still a lot of Nicholas Sparks’ novels that I want to see on the big screen, and I’m sure “Dear John” and “The Last Song” will not be the last ones---whether movie or novel. Sparks has never failed his fans in his novels and his stories will always remain as lessons for us on how to live our life without any regrets.
