The Notebook celebrated its 10th anniversary last week and we marked the special occasion with a post on how the film is the most misleading love story ever.
To mark the special date Director Nick Cassavetes shed some new and fairly interesting light on the making of the film for VH1.
In an interview Cassavete’s revealed that onscreen lovers, Rachel McAdams and Gosling, brought more to the adaption of the Nicholas Sparks’ novel than viewers ever got to see.
The pair also had real-life lovers' tiffs.
“Maybe I’m not supposed to tell this story, but they were really not getting along one day on set. Really not," he recalled.
"And Ryan came to me, and there’s 150 people standing in this big scene, and he says, 'Nick come here.' And he’s doing a scene with Rachel and he says, 'Would you take her out of here and bring in another actress to read off camera with me?' I said, 'What?' He says, 'I can’t. I can’t do it with her. I’m just not getting anything from this.'"
McAdams and Gosling dated on-and-off for two years following the film and rumours often reoccur that the pair has rekindled their romance.
Cassavetes helped the couple work out their issues to ensure filming wouldn't come to a halt.
"We went into a room with a producer; they started screaming and yelling at each other," he continued.
"I walked out. At that point I was smoking cigarettes. I smoked a cigarette and everybody came out like, 'All right let’s do this.' And it got better after that. They had it out… I think Ryan respected her for standing up for her character and Rachel was happy to get that out in the open. The rest of the film wasn’t smooth sailing, but it was smoother sailing."
We did try to tell it was a misleading portrayal of love...
But what about being a bird, Noah?!!
