Filmmaker
James Mangold follows his Oscar-winning
drama Girl, Interrupted (1999) with this whimsical
fantasy.
Meg Ryan stars as
Kate McKay, a modern female executive in New York City whose drive to succeed in the cutthroat corporate world has left little time for romance. When her genius ex-boyfriend
Stuart (
Liev Schreiber) opens a portal in time, the experiment transports
Leopold (
Hugh Jackman) from 1867 to the present day. A charming bachelor and the royal "Third Duke of Albany" in his own time,
Leopold is fascinated by the 21st century. As the courtly
Leopold and the decidedly liberated
Kate tour the town, a mutual attraction develops into something deeper, a relationship that's threatened by
Leopold's temporary chronological status.
Kate & Leopold (2001) was originally developed by co-screenwriter
Steve Rogers as a project for star/producer
Sandra Bullock, who had a hit with his film
Hope Floats (1998).
