Time Traveler’s Wife
At points, “The Time Traveler’s Wife” sheds new light into the romantic drama genre. But at others, it just gets old and fails the test of time.
The film – based on the hit novel by Audrey Niffenegger of the same title – revolves around Henry DeTamble (played by Eric Bana), a Chicago librarian with “Chrono Displacement” disorder, a condition which allows him to randomly disappear into both the past and the future without warning (otherwise known as time traveling). He tries to build a life with the woman of his dreams, a young artist named Clare Abshire (Rachel McAdams), but their relationship is tested when the couple is forced to part ways for long periods of time due to his condition.
We first meet Henry as a little kid who’s assured by an older version of himself, after going through a car accident that everything is going to “be okay.” Fast forward a few decades later and a 30 something Henry is greeted by Clare whose known him since the age of six – the problem is, he doesn’t have a clue who she is.

Rachel McAdams Posted on September 27th, 2008 by

Rachel McAdams has been cast opposite Robert Downey Jr. in Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes” reboot.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the London, Ont., native is taking on the role of the enigmatic Irene Adler, a character who appeared in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s 1891 Holmes tale “A Scandal in Bohemia.”
Although Adler only appears in that story, McAdams’ character would return in any possible sequel to Ritchie’s film, which is based on a forthcoming comic book by producer Lionel Wigram that reimagines Holmes as more of an adventurer.
As previously reported, Downey will play the titular sleuth.
The movie’s star-studded cast is rounded out by Jude Law as Holmes’ sidekick Watson and Mark Strong (Ritchie’s upcoming “RocknRolla”) as the main villain, Blackwood.
Shooting is set to begin next month for a 2010 release.
McAdams, 31, can currently be seen as an Iraq War veteran in “The Lucky Ones,” which opened in theatres Friday. Her upcoming movies include “State of Play” with Ben Affleck and Russell Crowe and “The Time Traveler’s Wife” with Eric Bana.
Ryan Gosling has officially confirmed his split with Rachel McAdams in his new interview with GQ.
“The only thing I remember is we both went down swingin’ and we called it a draw,” he said of the break up that occurred a few months ago.
Despite being from the same hometown in Canada, Gosling and McAdams met for the first time on the set of The Notebook. The fictional love story that turned into a real one created some intense fans. The pair were never comfortable with the expectations created by the film.
“I mean, God bless The Notebook,” Gosling said. “It introduced me to one of the great loves of my life. But people do Rachel and me a disservice by assuming we were anything like the people in that movie. Rachel and my love story is a hell of a lot more romantic than that.”
Gosling also said that Notebook fans seem to be taking the split harder than he is, noting that one fan almost smacked him.
Sources tell Lainey Gossip that the pressure from Notebook fans and the decreasing privacy are the cause of the rift. McAdams, an intensely private person, was apparently so uncomfortable in her own neighbourhood in Toronto that she and Gosling had to meet secretly. Gosling is said to have not minded as much and thought she was overreacting.
