‘Safe Haven’ Looks Exactly Like a Nicholas Sparks Movie in New Trailer and Photos

“If it’s not broken, don’t fix it” seems to be the motto behind this upcoming Nicholas Sparks adaptation, ‘Safe Haven‘. Off the back of previous efforts like ‘The Notebook’ and ‘Dear John’, director Lasse Hallström is looking to repeat the formula and cash in on the mega-successful author’s reputation for bringing in the crowds (and the cash).

The trailer doesn’t suggest ‘Safe Haven’ will be straying too far away from what we’ve come to expect from these by-the-numbers romantic dramas, with a soundtrack that sounds ever so familiar, but Julianne Hough at least makes an intriguing heroine. The images, as uninspiring as they are, offer an insight in to some of the stuff the film’s love birds will be getting up to during the film.

The movie will be released on February 8, 2013.
