The two will play a young couple who embark on a home exchange with a couple in Paris but miss their flight, leading them to spy on their French houseguests, with “fascination and attraction [escalating] into a deadly game of cat and mouse.” Joe Ahearne will direct the film that is said to be in the vein of “Match Point” and “Closer.”

Former soap opera star Duhamel recently became the latest Nicholas Sparks leading man when he starred opposite Julianne Hough in “Safe Haven.” Pike, who’s known for “Pride and Prejudice”, “An Education” and more, recently wrapped Nick Hornby adaptation “A Long Way Down” as well as Edgar Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy conclusion “The World’s End.” [Source]

The nicely paced book by Sparks is a little more hurried when played out onscreen in Lasse Hallström’s film by Duhamel and actress Julianne Hough. The film follows a newcomer (Hough) to a small town who attracts the interest of a widower, Alex (Duhamel). The two begin to spend time together until a dark secret threatens to come between them.

If you’ve caught the flick, you’ll know the secret’s not much of a secret, although the film does offer an oddball plot twist. Overall, however, there’s no denying the chemistry Duhamel and Hough are able to achieve onscreen. For a popcorn of a flick, the film offers enough reasons for romance lovers, at least, to watch. Plus, if you are already know you liked the movie and are planning to buy Safe Haven, the Blu-ray bonus features, especially, are worthy of a perusal.
