Unearthed: Rachel McAdams Audition Tape For The Notebook

If you are a Nicholas Sparks fan you’d never forget the quotes from his novels but if you are a Ryan Gosling fan you’d definitely rote the entire film! Speaking of which we came across a never-before-seen audition tape from The Notebook. Yes! The Notebook starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. For all the fans of the film, this tape is nothing less than a treasure trove.

The film which was released way back in 2004 has turned into an all time classic for romantic movie buffs. However, it is an unknown fact that the leads-Ryan and Rachel- never really got along while on the sets! In fact Ryan wanted Rachel out of the film. “They were really not getting along one day on set. Really not. And Ryan came to me, and there’s 150 people standing in this big scene, and he says, “Nick come here.” And he’s doing a scene with Rachel and he says, “Would you take her out of here and bring in another actress to read off camera with me?” I said, “What?” He says, “I can’t. I can’t do it with her. I’m just not getting anything from this,” said the film’s director, Nick Cassavetes. ‘Coz while Ryan was handpicked for this role, Rachel had to audition for the character.

Here is the video of Rachel’s audition that simply reiterates the epic scene. Rachel’s impeccable acting skills is what rendered more earthiness to the character of Allie and this video justifies our statement. Ryan Gosling is heard reading his lines off-screen, take a look…
