A chick flick does not get any more cliche and predictable as LETTERS TO JULIET. Check out the new trailer below that pretty much gives you everything but you already know how it’s going to play out halfway through and now you’re thinking ‘why the hell would I wanna pay ticket to watch this?!’ I’m still going to watch Amanda Seyfried’s other drama DEAR JOHN (another letter-related film) only because of author Nicholas Sparks but as far as LETTERS TO JULIET goes, I’m gonna have to scratch my head and find a reason first.

According to Variety, legendary actress Vanessa Redgrave, International actor Franco Nero, rising star Amanda Seyfried and Mexican sensation Gael Garcia Bernal have all signed on to star in the romantic drama LETTERS TO JULIET for Summit Entertainment.
The story centers on a couple (Seyfried, Garcia) who visit Italy for vacation and somehow receive a note meant for Juliet written by an old woman (Redgrave) searching for a young man who swept her off her feet during vacation in Italy, a long time ago. The young woman scours Tuscany to find the older woman’s long-lost love (Nero).

Guess what.. Redgrave and Nero are a real married couple, which would make this movie even more romantic for all you chick flick lovers out there. Aww!
On a sad note, she had to leave Ridley Scott’s ROBIN HOOD project because her daughter Natasha Richardson (Liam Neeson’s wife) died from a skiing accident a few months ago.
Seems like the legend is ready to get back to work.
