"Inkheart" - BEHIND THE SCENES

"Inkheart" - Based on the best-selling book by Cornelia Funke, the movie "Inkheart" is a fantasy adventure that sends a father and daughter on a quest through worlds both real and imagined. Mortimer "Mo" Folchart (Brendan Fraser) and his 12-year-old daughter, Meggie (Eliza Hope Bennett), share a passion for books. What they also share is an extraordinary gift for bringing characters from books to life when they read aloud. But there is a danger: when a character is brought to life from a book, a real person disappears into its pages. On one of their trips to a secondhand book shop, Mo hears voices he hasn't heard for years, and when he locates the book they're coming from, it sends a shiver up his spine. It's Inkheart, a book filled with illustrations of medieval castles and strange creatures--a book he's been searching for since Meggie was three years old, when her mother, Resa (Sienna Guillory), vanished into its mystical world. But Mo's plan to use the book to find and rescue Resa is thwarted when Capricorn (Andy Serkis), the evil villain of Inkheart, kidnaps Meggie and, discovering she has inherited her father's gift, demands that she bring his most powerful ally to life--the Shadow. Determined to rescue his daughter and send the fictional characters back where they belong, Mo assembles a small group of friends and family--some from the real world, some from the pages of books--and embarks on a daring and perilous journey to set things right.

The movie "Inkheart" stars Brendan Fraser ("The Mummy" films, "Journey to the Center of the Earth"), Paul Bettany ("The Da Vinci Code," "A Beautiful Mind"), Oscar® winner Helen Mirren ("The Queen," "National Treasure: Book of Secrets"), Oscar winner Jim Broadbent ("Iris," upcoming "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"), Andy Serkis ("The Lord of the Rings" trilogy), Eliza Hope Bennett ("Nanny McPhee") and Rafi Gavron ("Breaking and Entering").

If the movie "Inkheart" is the hit New Line Cinemas (now Warner Bros, since New Line is defunct), hopes it will be, (as they had hoped for another trilogy they counted on but failed miserably with, "The Golden Compass"), expect two more films starring the same cast.

Something tells us "Inkheart" is going to be a big, stinking bomb at the movie box office.

Initially, "Inkheart" had a Fall 2007 release date scheduled. New Line Cinema (now Warner Bros) later pushed the movie up to a March 2008 release. Finally, "Inkheart" has a January 23, 2009 release date penciled in.

The only - possibly - good thing going for the movie "Inkheart" - Its director Iain Softley brought us the only movie to date for which Helena Bonham Carter was nominated for an Oscar, the fantastic "Wings Of The Dove."
