The Lovely Bones

Saorsie Roman    d/ Peter Jackson

Jackson's treatment of the deeply flawed novel is a nice try but no cigar. The novel rested on the gimmick of murdered girl narrating her death and its aftermath. It was striking at first on the page...pretty creaky/squirmy on screen.

Lynne Ramsey was attached to this until the day before shooting started. She may have dodged a bullet...I don't think anyone could have made a plausible story out of this one.
