Peter Jackson’s cinematic take on 2002 novel The Lovely Bones comes out this coming Friday.
Author Alice Sebold crafted the story of a teenage girl who is brutally raped and murdered, and watches over her grieving family and friends from heaven. Judging from the trailer, the movie looks like it’s half-part My So Called Life and half-part Rear Window.
The Lovely Bones stars Mark Wahlberg, Susan Sarandon and Rachel Weisz.
The film looks amazing. I can not wait to see this.
