Lovely Bones Trailer Online Best look yet at Jackson's latest Source: Apple
Following yesterday's Entertainment Tonight trailer for the trailer, the full trailer for The Lovely Bones, Peter Jackson's adaptation of Alice Sebold's bestselling novel, is now available for your perusal at Apple.
There are shades of What Dreams May Come and Paperhouse in the visualisation of Susie Salmon's own personal Heaven, and the emphasis on standard amateur sleuthing might ring alarm bells for those who've read the novel and were expecting Jackson to come up with Heavenly Creatures Part 2.

Peculiar little intro from Jackson though: did he really need to stare that hard at an autocue to say "I hope you enjoy this at Apple"?
The Lovely Bones is released in the UK on January 29th.

lot of people did the same thing for Jack Black when Jackson cast him in King Kong and he did quite a good job so we'll see how he goes before we make an assumption. ... Read More

My girlfriend has read the book, and she says it was brilliant. She told me how it ends though which I wished she never. To be fair, this was before I knew the film was in production. ... Read More

I've not read the book, but I feel the trailer makes the film seem more actiony that it is. However it does look very good and I'm looking forward to it.
I also love that Michael Imperioli is in it. ... Read More
