According to the Los Angeles Times, Warner Bros is "closing in" on Scott Hicks, best known for his 1996 Academy Award-nominated film Shine.
In recent years, Hicks has directed Clive Owen in single-parent drama The Boys Are Back and Catherine Zeta-Jones and Aaron Eckhart in the restaurant comedy No Reservations.
The Lucky One, which follows a Marine on his search for a mysterious woman, would mark the latest addition to a string of Nicholas Sparks novels adapted to screenplays.
Other Sparks adaptations have included military drama Dear John and The Notebook.
