Drama, Fantasy, Romance |.
The Time Traveler’s Wife is a American romantic science fiction drama film based on Audrey Niffenegger’s 2003 novel of the same name. Directed by Robert Schwentke. The story follows Henry DeTamble, a Chicago librarian with a paranormal genetic disorder that causes him to randomly time travel as he tries to build a romantic relationship with Clare Abshire, who would become his wife.
Filming began in September 2007, originally in anticipation of an autumn 2008 release. The film’s release was postponed with initially no official explanation from the studio.
In the early 1970s, Henry DeTamble is in a car accident that kills his mother but which he survives by inadvertently time traveling back two weeks. Moments later, Henry is helped by an older version of himself who has also traveled back. Unable to control the timing or destinations of his traveling, Henry finds himself drawn to significant people, places, and events in his life but is incapable of changing events beyond the minor differences his presence creates.
In 1991, Henry meets Clare Abshire in the library where he works. She is overjoyed to see him although he is actually meeting her for the first time. Clare explains that she met Henry’s future self when she was a child, and that he informed her then that they would meet in the future, which is happening at the moment.
