Warner Bros. brings Nicholas Sparks' bestseller  The Lucky One  to the big screen starring Zac Efron ( CharlieSt. Cloud, New Year’s Eve ) and Taylor Schilling (upcoming  Argo ). The passionate, romantic drama is directed by Academy Award®-nominated writer/director Scott Hicks ( Shine, No Reservations ).

Learning her name is Beth (Schilling) and where she lives, he shows up at her door, and ends up taking a job at her family-run local kennel. Despite her initial mistrust and the complications in her life, a romance develops between them, giving Logan hope that Beth could be much more than his good luck charm.  The Lucky One  marks the fourth film Denise DiNovi has produced based on the acclaimed, best-selling novels of Nicholas Sparks, including  Message in a Bottle, A Walk to
