It's here! The film version of The Book Thief has definitely flown under the radar, what with massive adaptations like City of Bones and Catching Fire happening. The Book Thief is one of my all time favourite books, so when I found out they would be making a movie I was excited yet nervous because I wondered how the story would transfer onto the big screen.
After watching the trailer, I'm impressed! I loved every part of it except the very cheesy american voice over which was not required. I absolutely LOVE Geoffrey Rush, I was so happy when he was cast and now watching the trailer I am even more excited to see him in the film. Liesel is so cute too!
The scenery looks absolutely amazing, and spot on to what I imagined. It looks like they'll be sticking quite closely to the book and not straying from the storyline which is always good!
I had no idea the movie was coming so soon! It's set to be released on November 15th 2013. Which really isn't that far away at all. I need to re read the book ASAP.
Can. Not. Wait.

Ahhhh my feels over Rudy and seeing him alive and kicking and knowing that he'll be covered in dust at the end of the movie ak;dlsdfjkl;a
ReplyDeleteSO EXCITED!
DeleteYes, I agree, that voice-over was annoying and cheesy, and it was pretty cringe-inducing. BUT, that's not to say that the rest of the trailer wasn't fantastic. The actors were perfect. I don't know how I'll be able to contain my tears in the movie theater.
ReplyDeleteI know, especially as we know whats coming I think it will ten times worse!
DeleteI haven't read the book yet but I really want to read it. The trailer looks great and you're right 'bout the cheesy American accent. Not really needed. Judging by the trailer I think this will be a good movie adaptation.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely read it before the movie comes out! It's great :)
DeleteI definitely can't wait to see the movie! Judging from the trailer, this definitely seems like a high quality, well adapted film. Geoffrey is just perfect!
