Alex & Emma is a Franchise Pictures' romantic comedy starring Kate Hudson and Luke Wilson. It was directed by Rob Reiner based on a screenplay by Jeremy Leven. It opened June 20, 2003.
Alex (Wilson) is the author, who must repay a USD$100,000 debt to the Cuban mafia or face dire consequences. After his laptop is destroyed, he hires Emma (Hudson), a stenographer who talks as much as she writes. As Alex dictates his novel to Emma, the movie cuts away to scenes from the novel, where Adam (Wilson) falls for a series of nannies (all played by Hudson). Eventually life imitates art, and Alex and Emma fall in love.
Developed under the working title, Loosely Based on a True Love Story, the movie is loosely based on a true love story of author Fyodor Dostoevsky, who dictated his novel, The Gambler, in 30 days in order to pay off a gambling debt—and in the process, fell in love with his young stenographer.
The film was modeled after the Audrey Hepburn movie, Paris, When It Sizzles.
