The Lovely Bones – Trailer

Paramount has debuted the trailer for Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones starring Saoirse Ronan, Mark Wahlberg, Rachel Weisz, Susan Sarandon, and Stanley Tucci. The somewhat controversial story centers on a young girl who has been murdered that watches over her family, and her killer, from heaven. This looks like a very interesting mix of beautiful heavenly imagery and an emotional drama about the loss of a loved one. I still think this looks phenomenal, but I guess that all just threw me off a bit at first. It reminded me of the trippy imagination scenes in Terry Gilliam’s Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Anyway, watch it below!

The Lovely Bones is directed by Academy Award winning filmmaker Peter Jackson, of Heavenly Creatures, The Frighteners, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and King Kong previously. The screenplay was co-written by Peter Jackson and his writing partners Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, who also co-wrote Lord of the Rings and King Kong with Jackson. This is based on Alice Sebold’s bestselling novel of the same name first published in 2002. Paramount is bringing The Lovely Bones to theaters everywhere on December 11th.
