Several latch onto One Day

Lone Scherfig is attaching herself to helm the upcoming novel adaptation of One Day, a book written by David Nicholls. Nina Jacobson spilled the beans to Coming Soon about the project and who else, other than the An Education director, is expected to be on this.:

“That is supposed to go this summer in London with Lone Scherfig directing and Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess,” she said, adding that the deals aren’t closed but that the two stars are both attached. “Their deals are being negotiated right now.”

The story centers one the lives of two protagonists on 15 July, St. Swithen’s Day, for twenty years who meet on this particular day. Focus Features is on top of this project with a possible 2011 release date. You can see Hathaway on the big screen right now in the box office hit Alice in Wonderland from Walt Disney Pictures.
