We added over 45 videos of Rachel during “The Vow” promotion. She had press days in Munich, London and Los Angeles (including the world premiere) so we got a lot of new interviews with Rachel and her co-star Channing Tatum promoting the movie. We tried to add every interview released so far, but if we missed one feel free to drop us a line.

Keep an eye on “The Vow” category in our media archive for the latest videos. Rachel and Noomi Rapace are expected to start filming for their upcoming movie “Passion” in Berlin, Germany late February/early March with director Brian De Palma.

“The Vow” debuted with a first place in the US box office this weekend with $41.7 million. The movie hit theaters last friday (February 10) and is now the biggest opening in the history of Sony’s Screen Gems beating Channing Tatum’s “Dear John” ($30.5 million). The movie also broke another record with the other debuts because it’s the first non-holiday weekend to feature four $20 million+ debuts!

Women accounted for 72 percent of the audience for “The Vow,” whose receipts in just its first two days exceeded the movie’s $30 million production budget.

1. “The Vow,” $41.7 million ($9.7 million international).
2. “Safe House,” $39.3 million ($10.2 million international).
3. “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island,” $27.6 million ($25.5 million international).

We are so excited and proud the movie is doing so well, congratulations to Rachel and the cast/crew! We came across a nice observation by Indiewire on Rachel and the box office success of “The Vow“:

Tatum has four more movies in wildly different genres for the rest of the year, so most of the heat for this goes to McAdams. If you ignore 2010’s high-profile flop “Morning Glory,” this will be her fifth straight film to gross over $56 million. While that run includes low-impact supporting roles in “Sherlock Holmes” and “Midnight In Paris,” it’s no doubt a comfortable position of visibility for a leading lady. Considering McAdams had a similarly successful five movie stretch from ’04 to ’05, it’s time to suggest that she may be a bonafide A-Lister.

Variety reports that “Passion“, the upcoming thriller with Rachel and Noomi Rapace and directed by Brian De Palma has already closed pre-sales deals to distribute the movie. They also release more information about the project.

Said Ben Said’s Paris-based production-sales outfit SBS Prods. has closed key pre-sales on Brian De Palma’s thriller “Passion,” starring Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace.
Deals come as SBS advances towards production on “A Castle in Italy,” directed by and starring Valeria Bruni Tedeschi (“Actresses,” “It’s Easier for a Camel”). SBS recently produced Roman Polanski’s “Carnage.”

Ascot Elite has acquired theatrical and DVD/VOD rights for Germany and Switzerland; Lumiere has taken Benelux while ARP will release “Passion” in France in early 2013, said Ben Said.

An English-language remake of Alain Corneau’s 2010 psychodrama “Love Crime,” which Ben Said also produced, about a battle to the death between a top corporate exec and her protege, “Passion” has just added German actress Karoline Herfurth (“The Reader”) to the cast. Herfurth plays the assistant to Rapace’s deputy, McAdams the CEO.

Screenplay is by De Palma, with additional dialogue by novelist Natalie Carter.

Co-produced by Alfred Huermer’s Integral Film in Germany, “Passion” begins lensing in Berlin on March 5 for 10 weeks.

SBS is splitting international sales with Wild Bunch, with Ben Said selling key territories such as U.S., Spain and Italy.

We are really excited for this project, it’s really something different for Rachel. She recently confirmed during her “Live with Kelly!” interview she won’t attend the Oscars this year because she is already working on “Passion“.

USA Today published their interview with Rachel and her co-star Channing Tatum to talk about their movie “The Vow” during one of the press days in Los Angeles. We added the interview in our library. We also added the portrait session of Rachel and Channing in our gallery.

It’s not quite Valentine’s Day, but Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum are getting hot and heavy in a corner booth at the Four Seasons hotel.

Well, not quite.

McAdams, petite in a pair of high-waisted shorts and a scoop-necked Valentino top, is squished into a ball as a suited-up Tatum purrs into her ear: “If I was a puppy. And you bought me. I would jump. All. Over. You.”
