When I went to see The WaterHorse today (which I was disappointed in), I was excited to see two trailers for movies based on kids books that I love–Inkheart by Cornelia Funke, and Nim’s Island by Wendy Orr (starring Jodie Foster, coming out in April 2008). They book look fantastic, and they both incorporate writers and a love of books, which makes it all the more thrilling for me. Inkheart is one of my very favorite books, so I’m glad that it will be coming out in 2008. Though perhaps because it’s one of my favorite books, I’m slightly disappointed with the trailer–Meg doesn’t look like I thought she would, and there were some lines that I don’t think are in the book or totally in keeping with the characters, maybe Americanized…. Sometimes movies from books (especially my favorite ones) aren’t as good as the book. But I can’t help being excited that it’s coming out, period. I hope they do a good job….
You can see the trailer for Inkheart here:
and the trailer for Nim’s Island here:
I can’t wait until they come out! I’m definitely going to both of them.
