Peter Jackson’s ‘Lovely’ Trailer

Polygon_Wizard — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 14:17:55 +0000

Maybe you’ve never heard of Alice Sebold’s best-selling novel, The Lovely Bones. Maybe you have heard of it, but the paperback is still sitting in your “to read” pile. Maybe you’ve read the book so many times you could recite it in your sleep. Regardless of where you sit in relation to the source material, the trailer for Peter Jackson’s film adaptation of the story looks absolutely amazing.

The Lovely Bones tells the story of a young girl who gets murdered and then looks on from heaven as her family tries to deal with the loss. The movie features a pretty impressive cast, including Mark Wahlberg, Rachel Weisz, Susan Sarandon, and Stanley Tucci.

To see the trailer in HD (which I highly recommend) and other smaller versions, visit Apple’s exclusive trailer page.

Note: If Apple had an embeddable version of the trailer, I would include it here. The internet being what it is, the word “exclusive” doesn’t seem to mean what it used to. I have seen that this trailer does exist in embeddable form at other sites, including TrailerAddict. For a bit of internet irony, you can go watch this trailer at sites other than Apple and still hear Peter Jackson expressly state that the trailer is an Apple.com exclusive. I chose to do the “right” thing and link directly to Apple’s page.
