Peter Jackson draws viewers into an extraordinary adaptation of the Alice Sebold New York Times best-selling novel, “The Lovely Bone.” The trailer reveals quite a bit, even a spoiler or two, about a story of Susie Salmon, who is murdered, but continues to observe her family on Earth after her death. Even though she is detached from the world she once knew, Susie witnesses the impact of her loss on her loved ones, while her killer adeptly conceals his tracks and prepares to murder again.
Jackson sets a tone that is both emotionally truthful, and darkly humorous, Susie tries to balance her desire for vengeance against the love she feels for her family and her need to see them heal. Perhaps, she ultimately comes to understand that the concept of family can encompass both the living and the dead.
The Lovely Bones Movie stars Mark Wahlberg and Rachel Weisz , who play the parents of Susie Salmon (Saoirse Ronan), the child who narrates the story from heaven. Stanley Tucci plays the killer in hiding and Susan Sarandon plays her quirky grandmother.

Speaking with Empire Magazine, Peter Jackson revealed some details on the upcoming Tintin motion capture project, noting his involvement in both the first and the second film.
He is producing the first, with Spielberg directing. However, a week of reshoots will be done in June in his Wellington studios to fix any issues that need to be fixed from the original month-long shoot earlier this year.
Jackson said: “We’re kind of co-directing. I mean, we are co-doing it. Steven’s been on set with the actors for the last six weeks, and I was only there for a week. So he’s definitely directing the first in a way that I’m not" says Jackson.”
He admitted that while the base story for the first film will be based on The Secret of the Unicorn, it will also use elements from Herge’s other books to flesh things out.
The first is due out next year, with the sequel expected out in 2011.
Famed director Peter Jackson sat down with USA Today to talk about his upcoming supernatural drama The Lovely Bones, which hits theaters this Christmas.
Jackson talks about the dark theme of the book and the film which deal with a child being raped and murdered. "I never found the book to be bleak,” he said. “At times the story was shocking, and always it was told with unflinching honesty — and to some degree that’s what we’ve tried to do with the movie.”
He admits, however, that there are changes, but he hopes that fans of the book will “take delight in some of the twists and turns that we’ve made.”
The director also talks about the depiction of the girl’s “personal heaven”. A glimpse of the heaven can be seen above.
