Three years after starring in "The Time Traveler's Wife," actress Rachel McAdams is again tackling a time-jumping film, "About Time."
The Universal Pictures movie, which will hit theaters Nov. 8, features "Love Actually" director Richard Cutris, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Adams also played a similar role in her 2009 film "The Time Traveler's Wife" where she meets a man who can also travel through time and later marries him. The movie received ciritical reception. Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a 37 percent rating from critics, but movie goers seemed to embrace it. Could McAdams' new time travel endeavor bring the same response?
Other stars listed for the cast include Domhnall Gleeson, Bill Nighy and Lee Asquith-Coe, THR said. McAdams portrays Mary, a college student who falls in love with a man named Tim, played by Gleeson, according to the International Business Times. Tim is told on his 21st birthday that males in his family can travel through time.
"The time travel is really representative of distance and separation. It's just an obstacle that so many people go through wanting to be together and not being able to for whatever reason," McAdams said, according to the International Business Times.
Love is in the air for McAdams's, involving her film career. She is scheduled to star in an upcoming romantic comedy starring Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone, directed by Cameron Crowe. But in her real life, McAdams recently split with her boyfriend of two years, actor Michael Sheen. She related the split to difficulties in managing a long distance relationship.
The Canadian actress got her big start in Hollywood with the 2002 comedy "The Hot Chick." Roles in the teen comedy "Mean Girls" and the romantic drama "The Notebook" followed. She starred in "Wedding Crashers" in 2005 and later movies including "Red Eye" and "The Family Stone."
