RH Films Sets Release for 'One Day'

Random House Films has a release date for its second film to make it into theaters. One Day, starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess, is scheduled to premiere in the U.S. on July 8. RH Films launched with Reservation Road in 2007 and has since announced numerous projects on its development slate, but has not released another film into theaters.

Author David Nicholls adapted his own novel to the screen, and the production and financing, like all RH Films, is done in coordination with the publisher's partner, Focus Features. The British company Film4 is also financing the project.

The novel, which Vintage published as a paperback original last summer, spent a number of weeks on the Times trade paperback bestseller list and charts the relationship between a man and a woman, over the course of two decades, after they meet one day in 1989. The story focuses on the pair on the day they met, July 15, of each successive year.
