Plot/Rumours:
I found this in the news section from

November 6th 2005:
Some guy by the name of James posted this on the forum:
I'm a producer in Burbank, CA, and I have optioned the rights to a play. We are now developing the play into a screenplay so we can move ahead with production for the film version.
Kristin has agreed to play the female lead if we can get this film off the ground. If any here knows anyone who might like to invest approx. $50,000 for development funds (getting the screenplay written and covering lawyer fees), please let me know. They would be a silent partner in the production company, not an investor in the film itself. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY. I can be contacted at [email protected].
This is not an offer of securities, and should not be construed as such. Thank you.

Maybe this isn't a rumor after all?! James sent me this email explaining more about Careless Love and how Kristin became interested in it.
I approached Kristin's manager in Canada with the play that I optioned for its film rights (CARELESS LOVE), and a treatment for the proposed screenplay.
The play is a wonderful story of two people at the beginning of a relationship: Jack, a self-deprecating, soon-to-be successful actor in Chicago, and Martha, the young and less experienced actress/dancer he has made pregnant.
The intimate story follows the near-destitute Martha as she finds the courage to decide what should be done with her unplanned child and the rest of her life, and Jacks sudden rise to success amidst the pressure of an impending fatherhood. And all the while, Jack and Martha fall more in love. The story is warm and funny and at times tragic, but with a sense of hope and continuance. I strongly believe that it will translate into a beautiful and moving film.
Remarkably, her manager did read the play & treatment and forwarded these materials on to Kristin when she returned from India. She read the material and apparently really responded positively to it. So much so, that not only did I receive the letter of interest that I asked for, but Kristin is interested in co-producing, to help me raise funds for the film in Canada through their many government-run film finance programs.
We are going to pursue a few different leading men, Ryan Reynolds being one of them (he's Canadian as well), but we will likely need to wait until we have a screenplay in hand. This is why I submitted the posting... until I get the initial development funds for the writing of the screenplay, legal fees, etc., I can't move forward. I am seeking these funds locally but it occurred to me that her fan base might be a good place to spread the word. Thanks.
Take this info which ever way you like, believe it or not. Time will only tell how true this all is.
My Take:: Even though out of all the films rumoured to be starring Kirstin this seems the least likley because it's just a regular dude trying to get this film off the ground. With that said the storyline seemed kinda interesting. I'm gonna lie though, it probably would spark my intrest if I went to the cinema HOWEVER it could potentially star two of my favourites actors in Ryan Reynolds and Kristin Kreuk so we'll see. Who knows if this film will even come out? But if this is all true it cool to see those two lend support to the film. Fingers crossed hopefully this gets made.
