Peter Jackson and Stanley Tucci Talk The Lovely Bones
7 hours ago | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Dread Central hit The Lovely Bones press conference in Beverly Hills, CA, where director Peter Jackson, along with the film’s stars Stanley Tucci, Saoirse Ronan, Rose Mclver, Mark Wahlberg, Susan Sarandon and Rachel Weisz, talked up their cinematic incarnation of Alice Sebold’s best-selling novel.
Centering around lead character ‘Susie Salmon’ (Ronan) who is murdered by child-rapist and killer ‘Mr. Harvey’ (played in the film by Tucci), The Lovely Bones’ source material is at times a challenging read in its portrayal of violence, particularly in the first chapter. The tome though at its core focuses on the effect of the crime on the victim and her relatives, as Susie watches them from a hallucinogenic limbo while struggling with her feelings of vengeance towards her killer and her empathy toward the plight of those that remain. Jackson, whose previous efforts include the rather fantastical The Lord of the Rings trilogy and 2005’s King Kong, »

Robert Pattinson is starring in the number one movie right now, but sadly The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) will leave the theater and what will we have to look forward to? Luckily, there are two movies being released to a theater near you in 2010 and Rob is set to star in two others. First, in March of 2010 we will see Rob in Remember Me (2010). Then, in June of 2010, we will see Rob with his Cullen family when they return in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010). In a recent interview with MTV, Rob spoke about two movies that are in the works to be filmed hopefully in the winter/spring of 2010. In Remember Me (2010), Rob stars as Tyler who is dealing with a tragedy that has split his family and left his relationship with his father, played by Pierce Brosnan, strained.

Monthly Movie Preview – December 2009
3 December 2009 1:53 PM, PST | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
This is going to be a great month. No matter whether these big and small movies fall flat on their faces or not there’s going to be plenty to choose from – especially for those who want to keep up with important films.
First up is Avatar, one of the biggest gambles of this decade. Will the same kind of crowd that saw The Dark Knight or Transformers multiple times venture to movie theatres to see a 150-minute-long 3-D film that features tall blue creatures? It’s up in the air.
Which reminds me of a few more titles that should be worth checking out, one of them being Jason Reitman’s new film with George Clooney. The drama-comedy about a man who fires people for a living has been getting great buzz from its successful festival runs, with Oscar talk flying around as smoothly as paper airplanes.
But, Up In the Air »

Susan Sarandon, Christian Ashdale, Peter Jackson, and Saoirse Ronan at The Lovely Bones premiere in New York City, on December 3, 2009. Photographs by PatrickMcMullan.com. “I didn’t even recognize you!” Susan Sarandon said to an Alexander Wang-clad Saoirse Ronan last night before the lights dimmed at the New York City premiere of the film The Lovely Bones. In the movie, which is based on Alice Sebold’s 2002 novel of the same name, Ronan, 15, plays Susie Salmon, who is murdered in 1974 and watches from heaven as her family tries to track down her killer. Sarandon plays Susie’s booze-bag grandma who helps the Salmon family cope with the tragedy. “It’s great as a young actress to get to be in the company of such great actors who have been around for a very long time and who are extremely comfortable on set,” Ronan said of her Oscar-winning co-stars Sarandon and Rachel Weisz, »
Pattinson Nervous About Life After Twilight
3 December 2009 12:01 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Twilight star Robert Pattinson is terrified about continuing his career after the vampire franchise - because movie studio bosses are pressuring him to draw in huge audiences and deliver moving performances.
The Brit has been bombarded with scripts ever since he shot to fame as vampire Edward Cullen in the hit 2008 film - but he's still adjusting to the idea of being able to reject a role after years of taking whatever parts came his way.
And Pattinson admits he's nervous about being cast in big-budget movies - because he's only starred in one other film, Remember Me, since the Twilight series changed his life.
He tells MTV.com, "It's definitely different. You get offered stuff that you would never dream of getting offered before, but that's also scary. You don't have to audition for anything. (But) I don't want to do a movie just so it gets made. You have to question yourself a lot more. Before Twilight, I did any movie that I got (offered), and you'd try and make the best of it afterwards. But now, you're expected to come into the movie and provide not only economic viability, but also a performance as well. You can't just mess around. People are like, 'We're employing you to be here, as a star and an actor.' It's difficult, and it's scary."
But the 23 year old can expect some good advice about the movie business from the high-profile actors he's set to work with, including Uma Thurman, Rachel Weisz and Hugh Jackman.
He adds, "I'm doing a movie (with Thurman) called Bel Ami in February, an adaption to a Guy de Maupassant novel. And I'm doing - I hope - a Western with Rachel Weisz and Hugh Jackman called Unbound Captives sometime around there as well. They've got to try and juggle things around until everybody's schedules work." »

Stanley Tucci and Saoirse Ronan in The Lovely Bones
Photo: DreamWorks Studios Paramount and DreamWorks Studios have just revealed 23 new images from The Lovely Bones, which hits limited theaters on December 11 and expands throughout the month and I know this is my third image post of the day, but that one above just struck me as quite impressive for those of us that have read the book (or perhaps a few Sergio Leone fans out there in what is a wild alternative to the traditional standoff). I just wish it was in widescreen and not cropped, as I imagine there is a bit of additional room to the left and right of the two characters in the actual shot in the film.

With the #1 movie in the world bearing his name above the title and Hollywood's hottest scripts lining his doorstep, it's a good time to be Robert Pattinson. Not that the 23-year-old star has had much chance to enjoy it, as he recently told us he only received "three days off" in 2009, and 2010 looks even busier.
Recently, MTV Radio caught up with the man beloved by millions as Edward Cullen to discuss his plans for the new year — from "Breaking Dawn" and beyond.
"I've only done one movie outside of the 'Twilight' series, 'Remember Me,' " Rob said of his first true post-fame project, a March 12 romantic drama opposite Emilie de Ravin whose »

The early word on Peter Jackson's adaptation of The Lovely Bones is that Susan Sarandon is on fine form as the family matriarch, Grandma Lynn. And here's proof: a (very) short clip from the film that just went live on Yahoo. Sarandon's rather glamorous grandma plays a key role in the family, helping to hold things together despite her eccentricities following the disappearance of 14 year-old Susie Salmon (Saoirse Ronan). With Rachel Weisz and Mark Wahlberg as the frantic parents of the missing girl, she fills out a slightly disfunctional family that works hard to stay together.The Lovely Bones is out on January 29, 2010 in the UK. »

Peter Jackson: Looking Fierce Debuting "The Lovely Bones" (Photos)
27 November 2009 6:58 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Director Peter Jackson is busy doing press for "The Lovely Bones," and he's looking fantastic doing it. Jackson has been in Rome this week for the Italian premiere and he's barely recognizable as the Oscar-winning director of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. He lost 70 lbs between the early 2004 awards and the December 2005 premiere of "King Kong" by eating right and working out, and he got laser surgery to lose the glasses. The healthier lifestyle clearly agrees with him as this week in Rome, decked out in a tuxedo with his beard trimmed, he looked a decade younger than his 48 years. "The Lovely Bones" stars Mark Wahlberg, Susan Sarandon and Rachel Weisz and opens in the Us on December 11. Scroll to the bottom to watch the trailer.
