‘The Lovely Bones’ London Premiere gets a Royal red carpet

The Lovely Bones

The Lovely Bones is 2009 film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Alice Sebold.

The film was directed by Peter Jackson and starring Saoirse Ronan as the protagonist Susie Salmon along with Mark Wahlberg and Rachel Weisz as her parents, Jack and Abigail Salmon respectively.

Prince Charles and his wife Camilla attended the world premiere in London. Star Susan Sarandon reveals that the Prince once dated a friend of hers.

Jackson and his producer partners acquired the rights independently and developed a script on their own, later selling it to DreamWorks.

Production began in October 2007 in New Zealand and Pennsylvania. Paramount became a sole distributor a year later when they split with DreamWorks.
