With Rachel Weisz attached Peter Jackson already had our attention with his upcoming adaptation of Alice Sebold’s novel The Lovely Bones, but when he goes ahead and adds Ryan Gosling to the mix I am all about it, ’bout it.
The film revolves around a young girl who has been murdered and watches over her family–and killer–from heaven. Girl must weigh her desire for vengeance against her desire for her family to heal. Gosling will play the girl’s father; Weisz plays the mother. My only concern is whether or not Ryan will look old enough to be married to Rachel. Not that Rachel is old, but Ryan is still looking pretty young.
The Lovely Bones begins production in October in Pennsylvania and New Zealand and will be distributed worldwide by Paramount.
