I am a huge Nicholas Sparks fan. I have every movie ever made based on one of his books.
I was just discussing this yesterday with my boss. We talked about reading Nicholas Sparks books vs. seeing the movie. I would rather see the movies. Its not that I don’t like to read (I love reading!), it’s just that I never seem to have the time and one book can take me months to read because I can only read a few pages here and there.
Another reason why I like to see the movies over reading the books is the good looking leading me. LOL!
Nicolas Sparks’ most recent movie, The Longest Ride, is now away on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download. The film stars Britt Robertson and Scott Eastwood, son of famed Hollywood actor and director Clint Eastwood.
Just like every other Nicholas Sparks’ film, The Longest Ride will tug at your heartstrings. Make sure to have plenty of tissues on hand.
Based on the bestselling novel by master storyteller Sparks, The Longest Ride centers on the star-crossed love affair between Luke, a former champion bull rider looking to make a comeback, and Sophia, a college student who is about to embark upon her dream job in New York City’s art world. As conflicting paths and ideals test their relationship, Sophia and Luke make an unexpected connection with Ira, whose memories of his own decades-long romance with his beloved wife deeply inspire the young couple. Spanning generations and two intertwining love stories, The Longest Ride explores the challenges and infinite rewards of enduring love.
I have not seen the film – YET. I am hoping to have a romantic Date Night with my husband this weekend and watch the movie together. He won’t come right out and admit it (he’s a man after all), but he like the film’s too. He still can’t watch The Notebook and A Walk to Remember without his eyes welling up with tears.
The Longest Ride on Blu-ray comes with 45 minutes of extra features that will take you further into the film’s two central love stories. Join Eastwood on the ranch as he learns from the world’s best bull riders to control the beasts and learn more about the production with audio commentary from director George Tillman, Jr. and star Oona Chaplin.
The Longest Ride Blu-ray special features include:
- Deleted and Extended Scenes
- A Writer’s Journey: A Day in the Life of Nicholas Sparks
- Beyond the Ride
- Bringing it to Life
- Meet The Real Bull Riders
- Luke’s Bull Riding School
- Audio Commentary by George Tillman, Jr. and Oona Chaplin
- Gallery
Look for my review of the film coming soon, as well as how my “Date Night” went with my hubby.
The Longest Ride is now available where ever movies are sold.
