 Rachel McAdams - One Source Talent

Everyone's favorite sweetheart is returning to the big screen, this time in the film About Time. Rachel McAdams is teaming up with Domhnall Gleeson for the film. The Irish actor played Bill Weasley in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. He also appeared in the 2010 film True Grit. The up and coming actor also was in Joe Wright's Anna Karenina adaptation last year with actress Keira Knightley.

About time poses the question, what if you could go back in time and relive any moment in your life, in order to get it right? That's the mind-boggling ability that 21-year old Tim (Domhnall Gleeson) discovers he possesses - thanks to a genetic trait passed down by the men on his father's (Bill Nighy) side - in the new British romantic comedy, About Time.
The movie is the new film creation of Oscar-nominated screenwriter and director Richard Curtis. The writer and director previously scripted the British comedy fare like Four Weddings and a Funeral and Bridget Jones's Diary. Before that he turned to directing his own screenplays like the films Love Actually and Pirate Radio.

Rachel McAdams (Midnight in Paris) is returning to the sci-fi/romance sub-genre by playing Gleeson's love interest in About Time. You may remember her from The Time Traveler's Wife, a film adaptation. The film starred Eric Bana and was a romantic drama about a Chicago librarian with a gene that causes him to involuntarily time travel, and the complications it creates for his marriage. The supporting cast for Curtis' movie is rounded out by Tom Hollander (Hanna) and Lindsay Duncan (Alice in Wonderland), alongside actors you may not have heard of, Lee Asquith-Coe (Fast & Furious 6) and Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street).

Rachel McAdams first came on the scene in the 2002 comedy film The Hot Chick where she starred along side actor Rob Schneider and Anna Faris. McAdams played an attractive and popular teenager who is mean spirited toward others and she finds herself in the body of an older man and must find a way back to get back to her body. In 2004 she played mean girl Regina George in the Lindsay Lohan film Mean Girls. That would be the last film before she was catapulted to leading lady status when she won over everyone hearts in the film The Notebook. The film was based on the best selling novel from Nicholas Sparks. She lit up the screen with actor Ryan Gosling (who she dated for a few years). The film was about a man (James Garner) who reads from his faded notebook to a woman in a nursing home (Gena Rowlands). The story he tells follows the lives of two North Carolina teens from very different worlds (Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams). Though her upbringing takes place in an antebellum mansion and he grew up in the kind of house where musicians jam on the porch, that doesn't stop Noah and Allie from spending one indelible summer together before they are separated, first by her parents and then by WWII. After the soldiers come home, everything is different. Allie is engaged to a successful businessman and Noah lives alone with his memories in a 200-year-old house he lovingly restores. But when Allie sees an article in a local paper about Noah's handiwork, she knows that she's got to find him and make a decision once and for all about the path her life and her love must take. Rachel then began landing several roles in films including Wedding Crashers, The Lucky Ones, Sherlock Holmes, Midnight in Paris and The Vow.

You can see her and the rest of the cast in the film About Time on November 1, 2013.
