Literary Movies

[intertext]

With Fall and the new school year, also comes the Serious Movie Season (yay!!). Get out your handkerchiefs! All these look rather promising

Here's the first trailer for Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones on Apple.com (hasn't Peter Jackson got thin!).

The Time Traveller's Wife opens this week. I adored this book and had the usual concerns about a movie adaptation, but the trailer made me tear up; that's not all that difficult, but still..

And then there's Jane Campion's movie about the relationship between Keats and Fannie Brawne. Of course we know it's not going to end well...

I never read the LB book, but I'm excited that it has Mark Wahlberg in it, and that will probably even make me see it in a theatre instead of waiting for the DVD.

After seeing the preview, I have to agree that Wahlberg looks like he will suit the role quite well. In the preview they show the father in some of the pivotal scenes (and better scenes in the novel), and Wahlberg does them pretty darn well, in my opinion.
