Rate-a-Trailer: Is The Lovely Bones Heaven Sent?
Fri., Aug. 7, 2009 1:00 PM PDT by Peter Gicas
Talk about a return of the king.
If this trailer for The Lovely Bones is any indication, Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson will be back in a big way this December when his adaptation of the Alice Sebold best-seller hits theaters.
The film, which revolves around a murdered 14-year-old girl who is able to watch over the lives of her family and her killer from heaven, is certainly a far cry from Middle-earth, but the afterlife aspect does allow the guy who gave us Gollum a chance to serve up some pretty cool special effects.
Oh yeah, and having a cast that includes Mark Wahlberg, Susan Sarandon, Rachel Weisz, Stanley Tucci and Atonement star Saoirse Ronan in the lead probably doesn't hurt either.
