**Memento **took a thriller angle and 50 First Dates a comedy approach, but new film The Vow will take a more romantic look at the question of memory loss - and it's apparently based on a true story.

Michael Sucsy is set to direct the film, which tells the story of a recently married young couple (in real life, baseball coach Kim and his improbably named wife Krickitt Carpenter) who suffer a serious car-crash when a lorry slams into the back of their car. Afterwards, the woman finds she has lost all her memories of the last two years - including all memory of her relationship with her husband. He sets out to win her over all over again while she's working on rebuilding her identity.

Sucsy is best known for writing and directing hit HBO TV movie Grey Gardens, which landed him an Emmy and a Golden Globe, and he's now rewriting the script by Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein (Valentine's Day, He's Just Not That Into You). Will this story prove as compelling as his last tale of two eccentrics living with cats, racoons and a whole heap of rubbish? We can only hope so.
