Yes, I know I've been paying a tremendous amount of attention to any and all news regarding Peter Jackson's adaptation of The Lovely Bones, but as far as book-to-movie projects go, this one is pretty important to me. So, here's the latest in the long string of casting news: Stanley Tucci is in negotiations to play killer George Harvey in the movie, says Hollywood Reporter.
When I was reading the book, I envisioned someone a little more decrepit, someone much closer to Jackie Earle Haley (who played creepy pedophile Ronnie McGorvey in Little Children). However, Tucci often has a commanding and intimidating presence onscreen (he played Nigel in The Devil Wears Prada, among others), and I can easily see him being super scary. What do you think about this latest bit of Lovely Bones news?
Matthew Williamson
Phi
Roberto Cavalli
This could work!
1I think this works. It's not your typical bad guy but Stanley has the chops to pull it off. I'm very impressed with the castings for this movie so far.
2I think it works perfect! Im real excited about this!
3I think he could do it! He's a very good actor.
4Tucci should do well in this role. He's a great actor!
5I think he does very well to become the character he's playing; this sounds like perfect casting to me.
6He's great in everything. Kevin Spacey would have been a good choice, too. But again I say I hated this depressing book and don't plan to see the movie. I just can't sit through a flick narrated by a dead, raped teen.
7Ooh, good choice. I wouldn't of thought of him being cast at all, but I can really see it working.
8Jackie Haley was cast perfectly. SOO freaky.
9i feel like it might work, but i also thought someone more cryptic and odd would be cast. i feel like an unknown might have even worked well. tucci is a really good actor, so im excited to see how he'lll do.
10I like Staney Tucci, this should be interesting. But yeah Jackie would have been creeptastic!
11Oh my gosh, yes. I pictured George Harvey a little more gaunt and creepy, but a little makeup will do him up perfectly.
12I think this book is amazing and i just hope the movie doesn't dissapoint me.
13i pictured this character as a heavy set person, but i agree tucci has big "presence" and is very good in any part he does. sounds good.
14when would kevin spacey ever NOT be a good choice for a movie? lol the man is amazing.
15My choice for George would have been Phillip Seymour Hoffman, but I think that Tucci will do well, he's just a tad more outwardly creepy than PSH.
16this isn't exactly who i pictured either, but i think he could make it work.
