DENISE DI NOVI - Producer

What attracted you to working on this project?
I loved the book. When I read the book “A Walk to Remember,” - I had produced “Message in a Bottle,” Nicholas Sparks' other book - I read this book and just fell in love with the story. I just felt it was completely unique in terms of a teenage love story. It's inspiring and spiritual; it's a beautiful entertaining story and I just fell in love with the book.

Any qualms about casting someone who is known as a “pop star” as the lead actress?
Not at all. I really sensed that there was something special about Mandy Moore when I had seen her interviewed, and when I'd seen her hosting television on MTV. When we met her and read her for the part, she's just a natural actress. She's very gifted.

What's your next project?
I'm not sure. I have a television show on Saturday night's called “The District” and I'm hoping to make another film called “American Girl” with Warner Bros. and hopefully another film called “Cat Woman” is starting to get going.
