2010 American romantic drama film directed by Gary Winick
Letters to Juliet is a 2010 American romantic comedy-drama film starring Amanda Seyfried, Christopher Egan, Gael García Bernal, Vanessa Redgrave and Franco Nero. This was the final film of director Gary Winick before his death on February 27, 2011.
The plot revolves around a bride's finding, during her pre-honeymoon in Verona, of an old unanswered letter asking for love advice from Juliet. Answering it leads to the recipient showing up alongside her grumpy grandson, and the trio search for the old long-lost love while new love sparks.
The film was released theatrically in North America and other countries on May 14, 2010. The idea for the film was inspired by the 2006 non-fiction book Letters to Juliet, by Lise Eve Friedman and Ceil Jann Friedman, which chronicles the phenomenon of letter-writing to Shakespeare's most famous romantic character.
