It’s quite impressive that only a couple of days few people were that interested in Peter Jackson’s the Lovely Bones, but just the news that a trailer was coming was enough to get the world salivating. But that’s Jackson for you. Following Lord Of The Ring people are undoubtedly fascinated by whatever he wants to get up to.
Now the first full Lovely Bones trailer has touched down, giving a bit of an overview of the tale of a girl who gets murdered and then narrates the search for her killer from some sort of heaven. It’s certainly a beautiful looking movie and the shots of the place the main character is trapped in have a lot of impressive visual effects.
The only thing we did wonder is that as this is a film about child murder, whether the broad thriller angle is going to work, but as this is only our first look it may turn out that the actual movie is slightly subtler than the trailer suggests.
The Lovely Bones is released on December 11th in the US and will be coming to the UK on January 29th, just in time to capitalise on the Oscar nominations it obviously hopes it’s going to get. Click below to see the trailer.
