I began reading this book last week, and I was instantly absorbed in it. It is one of the most unique new books I've read in ages. Anyhow-- that's not the purpose of this thread. I just discovered that Peter Jackson is writing and directing a film adaptation of the book to be released in the Fall of next year. I can't even describe to you how exciting this prospect is for me, as Peter Jackson is one of the few people you can really trust to stay absolutely true to the book.

Just to give you a short synopsis, the story is about a girl named Susie who gets raped and murdered on the way home from school. The story centers around her watching how her death affects her family and friends from heaven. It's really very, very good. I highly recommend keeping an eye on this movie, and reading the book.

Here's the wiki on the book and movie:

I swear I thought I had made a topic about this movie months ago. I'm guessing I just forgot and posted it in a different board. I'm glad Jackson is taking a break from the big epic, spectacle. He had been doing nothing but epic-sized projects since 1998 when he began pre-production on the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

I actually hoped Jackson would've gone back and done something in the horror genre to get back to his horror roots, but I know choosing to adapt and direct The Lovely Bones was something he needed to do. Anyone who has ever followed Peter Jackson's career knows he can do understated and intimate. He did it well with his pre-Rings film Heavenly Creatures and I'm thinking he'll do just as well with his take on Alice Seibold's novel.

I read this in my senior year in high school, and I did like it. Though, according to IMDb, it should have been coming out about now. But it seems it keeps getting pushed back. But otherwise, I would like to see this movie.

On IMDb, it was showing up as it's supposed to be out next year. *shrugs* Though, that could have been changed recently.

Just borrowed the book from my sister this morning and started to read the first few pages. It sounds pretty neat and I'll probably enjoy reading it a lot. My sister must have really enjoyed it as the book has so many cracks and creases in the binding that couldn't have been made in one read.
