据国外媒体报道，《指环王》导演彼得-杰克逊的新作《可爱的骨头》今日曝光了首款海报。而影片的上映日期也被定在12月11日，很显然是把目标放在了即将到来的奥斯卡上。

影片根据爱丽丝•希伯德的畅销小说改编而成。故事发生在1973年12月6日，一个下雪天，14岁的苏茜(西尔莎•罗南饰)在放学回家的路上被诱骗到玉米地里的一个秘密小屋，惨遭强奸和杀害。她是连环杀人案件中最新的受害者，凶手是她的邻居哈维(史坦利•图齐饰)，一个貌不惊人喜欢养花的男人。小苏茜到了天堂，不得不接受她已死亡的现实，只能在那个“生命只是永久的昨天”的地方俯瞰着地面上的一切。像幽灵一般，苏茜年复一年地注视着家人和好友悲恸欲绝，观察着冷酷的凶手如何掩盖罪行逍遥法外，甚至希望能给发愁的警长一点线索。但死者已矣，生活却在继续。面对人间的种种，可怜的苏茜不得不接受她已死亡的现实，但又眷恋着生者的世界，只能年复一年像幽灵一样跟随着她的家人……

Once in a generation a novel comes along that taps a vein of universal human experience, resonating with readers of all ages. THE LOVELY BONES is such a book -- a #1 bestseller celebrated at once for its artistry, for its luminous clarity of emotion, and for its astonishing power to lay claim to the hearts of millions of readers around the world.

"My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973."

So begins the story of Susie Salmon, who is adjusting to her new home in heaven, a place that is not at all what she expected, even as she is watching life on earth continue without her -- her friends trading rumors about her disappearance, her killer trying to cover his tracks, her grief-stricken family unraveling. Out of unspeakable tragedy and loss, THE LOVELY BONES succeeds, miraculously, in building a tale filled with hope, humor, suspense, even joy.

The major motion picture version of THE LOVELY BONES, directed by Peter Jackson and starring Rachel Weisz, Susan Sarandon, Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, and Saoirse Ronan is scheduled for release on December 11, 2009.
