Lily Collins to star alongside Sam Claflin in ‘Love, Rosie’

The Mortal Instruments meets The Hunger Games?

Not really, but two of the leading stars from each of those YA book-turned-movie franchises–our Clary Fray, Lily Collins and Sam Claflin–have been cast in the romantic comedy Love, Rosie.

The film is based on the best-selling novel “Where Rainbows End” by Cecelia Ahern.

Here’s the blurb from ComingSoon.net:

Mister Smith Entertainment (MSE) CEO David Garrett announced today that MSE will introduce Constantin Film’s latest feature, the romantic comedy Love, Rosie, to international buyers this week at the upcoming European Film Market (EFM) in Berlin. Lily Collins (The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, Mirror Mirror) stars in the title role, and Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Snow White and the Huntsman, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) portrays her best friend and star-crossed lover, Alex.

Constantin Film’s Robert Kulzer will produce and Martin Moszkowicz will executive produce. Both served the same roles in The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.

Here’s the synopsis:

In the film, Rosie Dunne and her best friend Alex take a leap of faith, both on life and on each other, when they decide to go to America together to attend University. But fate has other plans for Rosie who discovers that she is pregnant after a crazy night out with the most popular boy in school.  She encourages Alex to go without her, hopeful that she’ll catch up with him eventually. Over the next twelve years, their lives change dramatically but the undeniable connection remains. At the back of Rosie’s mind is always the question, what if fortune had taken another turn and they were meant to be more than just good friends. When ultimately presented with the opportunity, will they gamble everything for the chance to be together?

Mister Smith Entertainment is backing the Constantin Film feature, which is the same studio behind The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.

Filming is set to begin in May.
