As for Lovely Bones, since Peter Jackson started with smaller films, I think it won't be too difficult for him. We'll see...

Sure enough, this might be old news to most, but it was news to me. At the San Diego Comic-Con last month, Peter Jackson talked about yet another "extended cut" he plans to put out on DVD later this year of his box-office bust, "King Kong." (A bust only because it "broke even" worldwide).Well at Amazon.com, it showed up. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H30B2CThere will be 13 minutes added to an already LONG-a** film, plus on extra discs will will be sixteen deleted scenes totalling 40 minutes. A three disc set. Ridiculous.Peter Jackson's next project is the "small, intimate" adapation of Alice Sebold's 2002 monstrous USA best seller (4 million copies), "The Lovely Bones," which was narrated by a murdered teenage girl who watches how "life goes on" with her friends and family and a killer who's never caught. I've read the book and my fear is Jackson will turn a "little" story set in American suburbia -- that could probably be made for $15 million tops (the budget for this year's "United 93," which more than doubled its return) -- into an $70 million CGI fest filled with ghosts.-koose.Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
