Here’s the trailer for Peter Jackson’s latest flick The Lovely Bones.

The story, adapted from the novel by Alice Sebold, centres on a young girl who has been murdered and watches over her family – and her killer – from heaven.  She must weigh her desire for vengeance against her desire for her family to heal.

Despite my almost universal dislike of Mark Wahlberg (the only good thing he’s ever done is Boogie Nights) I think that this looks pretty damn impressive.  The crapness of Wahlberg is offset by the brilliant Rachel Weisz and Michael Imperioli, the supremely creepy looking Stanley Tucci, and the fantastical special effects.  Not to mention that it’s directed by one of the best directors working today (even though I think the LOTR trilogy are vastly overated).

The film is due for release on 11th December.
