Director Updates
Peter Jackson’s next movie is an adaptation of Alice Sebold’s novel THE LOVELY BONES, starring Mark Wahlberg, Rachel Weisz, Susan Sarandon, Stanley Tucci and Saorise Ronan.

He also has the rights to the fantasy series TEMERAIRE, which he might have plans to direct somewhere down the line.
