MTV is reporting about a new rumor, that rumor being that /Film has deduced that Daniel Radcliffe will be staring in The Lucky One, adapted from the novel by Nicholas Sparks.

The Lucky One tells of US Marine Logan Thibault who finds a snapshot of a young woman when on duty in Iraq and feels that it brings him a tidal wave of good luck. After his tour is done and he returns to America, he sets off on a journey to track down the woman in his photograph. She’s Elizabeth, a young mother who is now divorced, and I suppose it’s inevitable she’ll begin an affair with Thibault at some point, seeing as who wrote the story and all.

I’m assuming Radcliffe and Rabe will have the lead roles. Their names come from tweets by Christine Vachon, the producer of Infamous as well as pretty much every Todd Haynes movie and both of Tom Kalin’s pictures.

• Heading to Doug McGrath’s script reading, starring Daniel Radcliffe–
• Daniel Radcliffe and Lily Rabe were AMAZING together!

Now, while she doesn’t mention which movie this is, the actors fit the roles, and we already knew McGrath was adapting this particular Sparks book. Furthermore, a recent interview with Sparks at Collider saw the author say “I think they start filming The Lucky One in May”. I’m sure we have a match.

Thanks masterofmystery!

UPDATE: MTV has posted up exclusive news that this is untrue:

Our insider said the reading was for another film being produced that doesn’t even have financing lined up yet.
“It’s for another film called ‘Nothing Else Like It On Earth’,” our source said. “It’s a really beautiful story.”

Apparently none of the actors have been confirmed yet due to film being in an early state of production. Daniel and Lily were just doing the readings, and no casting decisions have been made.

More information as it comes!
