English actress Rachel Weisz has signed on to star in Peter Jackson's
adaptation of "The Lovely Bones."
Based on Alice Sebold's 2002 best-seller, the story is told through the
voice of Susie Salmon, a young girl who is murdered but continues to
observe her family on Earth after her death. She witnesses the impact of
her loss on her loved ones, while her killer skillfully covers his tracks
and prepares to murder again.
Weisz will play the mother of the dead girl, a role that Jackson and his
writing team of Philippa Boyens and Fran Walsh are expanding in their
adaptation.
The $80 million picture is scheduled to begin filming in October in
Pennsylvania and New Zealand. The DreamWorks project will be distributed
worldwide by Paramount Pictures.
The film will mark the first teaming of the Academy Award-winning
director and the Academy Award-winning actress. Weisz won an Oscar for
her supporting role in 2005's "The Constant Gardner." Jackson won three
Oscars for his work on 2003's "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King."
