Smallville's Tom Welling Lands Lead Role in THE CHOICE
Author Nicholas Sparks has another book, The Choice, being adapted into a movie, and Tom Welling has been cast in a lead role. This might just be the biggest thing to happen to Welling since Smallville ended. He really hasn't done a lot since that series.
Sparks is a big deal in Hollywood, and his romantic tales usually turn out to be really good films. Some of the movies based off his work include The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, and Dear John.
The movie also stars Benjamin Walker as Travis Parker and Teresa Palmer as Gabby Holland. In the story they play neighbors in a small coastal town, and "end up pursuing a relationship neither expected." According to Deadline, Welling will take on the role of Kevin McCarthy, a doctor at his father’s practice who is Gabby’s boyfriend. The love triangle plays out over the course of a decade.
Since I'm married, this sounds like a film I'll end up watching. I'm not sure what to expect, but I really liked The Notebook, so we'll see how it turns out. Ross Katz is directing the film from a script by Bryan Sipe.
