Inkheart: Coming to a Theater Near You! (and a Fandango Gift Certificate Giveaway!)
Posted Jan 14 2009 5:11pm
Being a book lover, I’ve always been especially fond of movies based on books. Among others, I love Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the Lord of the Ring series, and any movie based on a Jane Austen book. So, I got really excited when I saw a trailer at the theater for an upcoming movie, also based on a book, called Inkheart. I have to admit that I haven’t read the book yet, but the movie looks great, so I’ll probably end up buying the book, too!
Inkheart stars Brendan Fraser and Helen Mirren, and asks the question: What if you had the power to bring a book to life simply by reading it aloud? That would certainly be an amazing thing, but, of course, it would depend on the book you choose! Apparently, Brendan Fraser's character chose the wrong sort of book because now he and his family are in a heap of trouble and must figure out how to escape from the book. Watch the clip at the bottom of this post for a preview of the movie, which had me on the edge of my seat! You can also find out more about Inkheart at http://www.inkheartmovie.com. The movie is rated PG, so you can take the kids and enjoy this fantasy adventure together! It premieres at a theater near you on January 23, 2009.
Would you like to win a gift certificate to see the movie (or another of your choice)? To win a $20 Fandango gift certificate, simply leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite Brendan Fraser movie.
