Article Excerpt:

By Rev. Carole Hallundbaek / PRN Host, GODSPEED

When Peter Jackson spoke with CNN last week, it was to discuss the future of "The Hobbit" and to -- once again -- defend his film “The Lovely Bones,” which just went to DVD and Blu-Ray on Tuesday. Admittedly, it is difficult to imagine why he would need to defend anything.

A director with the Midas touch, Jackson’s epic direction of the “Lord of The Rings” trilogy earned him 17 Oscars and a legendary reputation. In

2005 he followed the LOTR with a remake of “King Kong,” another smash hit with both audiences and critics.

The “Lord of the Rings” trilogy was inspired by the JRR Tolkien novels, and Jackson made them come alive with creative and technical mastery.

“King Kong,” although never a novel in its original format, was inspired by the literary stunners of its day, specifically Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World (1912) and Edgar Rice Burroughs' The Land That Time Forgot (1918).

So far so good: Jackson appears to know what he is doing with literary adaptations.

“The Lovely Bones” is a different kind of story. It’s every parent’s worst nightmare of their child being lured away by a sick acquaintance and murdered – not the kind of fantasy that invites one easily into the hills of the Shire.
