Synopsis:

Adapted from the internationally praised bestselling novel, One Day charts an extraordinary relationship. Emma (Academy Award nominee Anne Hathaway) and Dexter (Jim Sturgess) meet on the night of their college graduation – July 15th, 1988. She is a working-class girl of principle and ambition who dreams of making the world a better place. He is a wealthy charmer who dreams that the world will be his playground.

For the next two decades, every July 15th reveals to us how “Em” and “Dex” are faring, as their friendship ebbs and flows with the passing of the years. Through laughter and romance, heartbreak and exhilaration, they experience the grandeur of life. Somewhere along their journey, these two people realize that what they are searching and hoping for has been there for them all along.

From director Lone Scherfig (“An Education,” “Italian For Beginners”) and based on writer David Nicholls’ novel One Day, the film stars Anne Hathaway, Jim Sturgess, Patricia Clarkson, Romola Garai, Jamie Sives, Rafe Spall, Ken Stott, Jodie Whittaker. ONE DAY will be in theaters on Friday, July 8, 2011.

The book was #1 on both the hardcover and paperback bestseller charts in the U.K. It was published in the U.S. as a trade paperback original last June 15 by Vintage Books, a paperback imprint of Random House, Inc.’s Knopf Doubleday Group. One Day spent 12 weeks on The New York Times Trade Paperback Fiction Bestseller list, rising to the #4 position.

The New York Times Book Review named One Day among the 100 Notable Books of 2010. People called the novel “an instant classic,” while Entertainment Weekly cited it as “[a] surprisingly deep romance [that is] so thoroughly satisfying.”

The domestic run will commence in select cities, as a platform release; additional cities and theaters will be added later in the prime summer play period. Focus holds worldwide rights – excluding U.K. free-TV, held by Film4 – to the movie version. The U.K. release will commence on Thursday, September 29, 2011
