Another movie has been announced for Amanda, Letters to Juliet
Meanwhile Gary Winick (Bride Wars, 13 Going On 30) is directing Letters To Juliet which stars Seyfried as an American girl in Italy who discovers the legend of the “letters to Juliet” – love letters which visitors leave in the wall of Juliet’s courtyard in Verona which are individually answered by a group of women called the secretaries of Juliet. While at the wall, the girl discovers a letter written in 1958 which has never been picked up and she decides to go on a quest to find the lovers in question.
UK writer Tim Sullivan wrote the screenplay from an original draft by Jose Rivera (The Motorcycle Diaries). Ellen Barkin whose Applehead Productions originally brought the concept to Summit’s attention is producing alongside Mark Canton.
An English romantic lead for Seyfried is currently being cast while two distinguished actors are being finalized to play the older couple.

Interesting concept for a movie. I remember reading the town actually banned the writing of letters & now require them to be e-mailed or called in. Far less romantic!
