The Notebook Might Become A TV Series So That Sucks For Most Guys
Entertainment Weekly- A TV version of Nicholas Sparks’ beloved romantic drama The Notebook is in the works at The CW.
The network is developing a series based on Sparks’ bestselling 1996 novel and the 2004 New Line sleeper hit film, which starred Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams.
The official logline: “This series will follow the romantic journey of the two beloved central characters Noah and Allie, at the outset of their blossoming relationship as they build their lives and their future together against the backdrop of the racial politics, economic inequities, and social mores of post-World War II of the late 1940s in North Carolina.”
If greenlit to series, The Notebook would represent The CW’s second period drama after Reign (and a surprisingly earnest one, at that—assuming the series reflects the tone of the source material). A classically romantic tale that spans decades, The Notebook is an intriguing potential departure from The CW’s action-filled genre shows and contemporary rom-coms.
Well, every boyfriend/husband’s worst nightmare might actually come true. The Notebook is going to be turned into a TV series. Which is just another thing for girls to compare their lives to and make you look like a shittier boyfriend than you already are. I guess the show will follow the lives of the main characters after the movie? I still have never seen the notebook in its entirety so I’m not really sure what its about or how it ends. I know there’s letters involved, they have sex in an abandoned house, they go for a boat ride, and it’s sad at the end. All guys just better hope that wifey doesn’t make you watch it with her; hopefully she’ll just watch with her friends and drink like 7 bottles of wine. Then, when she bitches about how much her life isn’t like a Nicholas Sparks movie it can just go in one ear and out the other and you actually have to sit through it every week.
