Ryan McNeilSo just last week, I was writing about books that may or may not be successful literary adaptations. Right on cue, another one is coming down the pipe. This time courtesy of a man who is no stranger to adaptations, director Peter Jackson.
Below is the trailer for THE LOVELY BONES, a book that a good friend of mine once described as “one of the saddest things she’d ever read”. I know it’s quite a popular novel, so if it isn’t a good adaptation, I think we’ll be hearing about it pretty darned quick…
I haven't read this book, but my sister loves it. And if Peter Jackson passed on directing The Hobbit to do The Lovely Bones, it sounds promising.
I'm very excited for this. If all cars are right, this should be phenomenal.
