The Lovely Bones

Stills from here.

The trailer for The Lovely Bones came out last week and now I can't wait to see the movie! For those who don't know, it's an adaptation of a book by Alice Sebold, about a girl who is murdered and watches her family and friends from heaven as they cope with her death.

See the trailer here!

Saoirse Ronan was so good in Atonement, I'm sure she'll be great in this too.

I love the music (one of the tracks is "Alice" by the Cocteau Twins, I believe) and the scenes in heaven, it looks so beautiful and surreal at the same time. It does look a bit too action-filled compared to the book, but that's probably just for the sake of the trailer.

Oh and I have to say that as a New Zealander, I'm very happy that Peter Jackson is the director :D (He's lost so much weight, he looks so different from when he did all the Lord of the Rings stuff!)

I am BEYOND excited for this. Good for Peter Jackson-he looks so much healthier. But not like a hobbit any longer : ( That is kind of sad.

Whenever books are turned into movies I always vow to read the book before the movie to see how they've adapted it, I hope I actually do it this time!

I cannot wait to see this. It looks so good. Saoirse Ronan is amazing, and so is Susan Suranden(I think I just butchered the spelling on her last name.."/ oh well. Sorry Susan!)
