From the Publisher
Cornelia Funke’s best-selling novel, INKHEART, comes
to life in director Iain Softley’s (THE SKELETON
KEY, THE WINGS OF THE DOVE) feature-film adaptation
of the same name. For 12 years, bookbinder Mo
(Brendan Fraser) and his daughter, Meggie (Eliza
Hope Bennett), have been traveling the world, poking
around secondhand bookstores. Meggie correctly
assumes that her father is looking for her mother,
Resa (Sienna Guillory), who disappeared without a
trace.
What Meggie doesn’t know is that Mo is a Silvertongue, and when he
reads a story aloud, the details and characters come
to vivid life. But when a character comes out of a
book, someone has to go back in, and Mo is searching
a copy of the book, titled "Inkheart," into which
Resa literally disappeared. When Mo read the story
aloud, unaware of his powers, she was sucked into
the story, and the fantastical novel’s villainous
characters were released. Now, Mo and Meggie have to
keep evil Capricorn and his henchmen from realizing
their diabolical plot, and send everyone back where
they belong.
INKHEART is awash with colorful details. Capricorn has had to make
do with a stuttering Silvertongue who delivers
characters that are half-read: text from the book is
tattooed on their faces, or they suffer some other
malady, emerging from the book mute or with an odd
physical feature. Paul Bettany is engaging as
Dustfinger, a character who desperately wants to be
read back into "Inkheart" and return to his family,
portrayed by Bettany’s real-life love, Jennifer
Connelly, in a miss-her-if-you-blink performance.
Helen Mirren is good fun as eccentric, feisty
bibliophile Aunt Elinor, and Jim Broadbent appears
as the novel’s author, who is enthralled by the
possibilities of Mo’s gift.
Inkheart (Blu-Ray) is in stock and ships within 24 hours. |
