More on The Lovely Bones
Description from Wikipedia:
The Lovely Bones is a film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Alice Sebold, intended for release between September and November 2009. The film was directed by Peter Jackson and stars Irish actress Saoirse Ronan as Susie Salmon, with Rachel Weisz and Mark Wahlberg as her parents, Susan Sarandon as her grandmother and Stanley Tucci as George Harvey, her murderer.
Feature rights to Sebold's novel had been bought by Film4 Productions when it was only a manuscript with Lynne Ramsay attached to write and direct, but the company was eventually shut down. Jackson and his producer partners eventually acquired the rights independently and developed a script on their own, later selling it to DreamWorks. Production began in October 2007 in New Zealand and Pennsylvania.
