The Lovely Bones (Film Adaptation Coming)

Apparently it is to be directed by Peter Jackson for a 2007 release. No idea who the cast is yet, but this excites me. I love this book. A brief synopsis for those who haven't read it (or were extremely confused by Julie's serious prose piece) = Fourteen year-old girl Susie Salmon is raped, murdered and dismembered. Over the next few years, from a personalized heaven that takes the form of a high school she never lived to attend and its suburban surroundings, she watches her family and friends deal with their grief, her killer escape justice and go on to kill again and tries to reach a sense of closure herself, with the help of others with whom she becomes acquainted.

A bit different from the book, but again, I'm curious.

If you haven't read this book, I'd recommend it. Even MORE, I'd recommend "Lucky" by the same author, only a memoir. Sad yes, but more tragic (and by relation) more intriguing as it's real life.
