Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel Sizzle In 'Safe Haven' Trailer

Posted byBy Kim Burnell | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Ladies, get your tissues ready. Nicholas Sparks, the mastermind behind The Notebook and Dear John has done it again with Safe Haven.  Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel star in this new love story. Hough plays a mysterious damsel in distress who seems to be running from the law. She finds temporary solace in a small town. She tries to resist but ultimately falls for Duhamel as a steamy small-town dad. Choc full of romantic gooeyness and heavy drama, like all Nicholas Sparks books are, it’s sure to draw a huge female fan base and a few boyfriends who are forced to see it.

I firmly believe Josh Duhamel isn’t in nearly enough movies. With a face (and body) like that he should be on screen as much as possible. He seems charming as a single dad and I fully support the shirtless scenes. I’m also finding it fun watching Hough rise from a Harry Potter extra to a dancer with the stars all the way to Footloose and Rock of Ages. It looks like she’s putting more distance between her and dance and taking acting more seriously. Ill let you be the judge on if that’s a good idea or not. I also can’t help but wonder if Ryan Seacrest approves of her haircut for this role.

Since it is a Sparks adaptation the plot is certainly more convoluted than the trailer lets on, but enjoy this teaser for yourself.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
