Inkheart, a fantastic novel, written by Cornellia Funke, redefined the fantasy genre. Critically acclaimed and adored by readers across the world, Inkheart and its accompaning novels (Inkspell and Inkdawn) are the latest book to movie trilogy to storm the world's cinema screens.
Inkheart the movie seems set for success, but will be going up against a number of well known movies set for release in 2007. Sources can not confirm as to whether or not the film will be released in Easter 2007 as expected, with many web sites mentioning 2008 as a safe bet for a release date.
The cast includes names like: Brendan Fraser as Silvertongue (Rick O'Connell in the Mummy and Mummy Returns), Paul Bettany as Dustfinger (played Silas in the DaVinci Code), and talks are underway with Kathy Bates who starred as Molly Brown in Titanic and Mama in the Waterboy. And negotiations are ongoing with British actor Jim Broadbent as to whether he'll star as Fenoglio in Inkheart (Dad in Bridget Jones Diary as well as Professor Kirke in The Chronicles of Narnia).
Inkheart centres around the story of motherless Meggie, who discovers a shcoking secret about her father, Mo. Mo (or Silvertounge) can 'read' characters out of the pages of their fantasy world and bring them into the real world. Unintentionally he brought three characters into the real world from the book Inkheart, and caused his wife to disappear mysteriously. Villians, thugs and dastardly deeds await for young Meggie who takes on a journey to save her father, and rescue her friends.
