The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold – Movie Interview
The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
Mark Wahlberg, who stepped in at the last minute to play the anguished father in Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones, told reporters that he found the role a challenge but welcomed the chance to observe filmmaking by the Oscar-winning Lord of the Rings helmer.
No TagIn the movie, based on Alice Sebold’s novel, Wahlberg plays Jack Salmon, the father of Susie Salmon (Saoirse Ronan), a 14-year-old girl who was brutally raped and murdered and watches from heaven how the crime affects her parents and family. Wahlberg joined the production days before it started, after original cast member Ryan Gosling dropped out.
“The last-minute [thing] was fine,” Wahlberg said in a news conference in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Oct. 12 while promoting his next film, Max Payne. “The only thing, again, I was worried about was dealing with the subject matter and having to go to that place, which is also why Max Payne was such a great release afterwards, because the other side of me would want to go out and wreak havoc on whoever was responsible, and I got to do that through this film.”

The Adamantine Palace (MEMORY OF FLAMES) by Stephen Deas Dragons have always been a staple in fantasy fiction. When I was a little girl I always associated dragons with tales of valiant knights who slay the dragon to save the fair princess. Kind of like “Shrek,” but without the happy ending for the dragon. When

Mister Slaughter by Robert McCammon The story itself is a rather interesting tale of murder and mystery. It has similarities to modern serial killer tales, but the setting makes it very fresh and interesting. McCammon does a good turn in describing the world of the American Colonies before the French and Indian war. People are

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold THE LOVELY BONES was sad at times, but it never became the sappy tale I had feared it would be. A serious subject was handled with care, and the ending was pleasantly uplifting. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to the rest of you procrastinators. Don’t

This was an interesting book, I enjoyed it. I also own Sebold’s latest novel, The Almost Moon, but I haven’t read it yet.
Knowing how the story pans out and how it is told, I’m very interested in seeing how this one is made.
A movie to keep an eye out for. Lets just hope that Jackson gets beyond his awful, terrible movie King Kong…
