The Lucky One marked another success story in the Nicholas Sparks movie format, so Relativity has signed up for another one. Josh Duhamel (Transformers movies) is in position in the hunky hot guy role and Dear John helmer Lasse Hallstrom will direct.

Safe Haven is about a mysterious young woman who moves to a small, North Carolina town and raises eyebrows when she doesn't join in to participate in the community. Slowly, she puts down roots and starts 

dating a widower (Duhamel) with two children.

Other movies based on Nicholas Sparks books are The Last Song and the ultimate Sparks movie -- and surely one of the Top 10 most romantic movies of all time -- The Notebook.

While there was talk about trying to cast Keira Knightley, the female lead hasn't been cast yet. Who would you like to see in the role? Tell us on Twitter @KidsPickFlicks.com !
