Jackson eyes The Lovely Bones film

It is reported that 'Lord of the Rings' director Peter Jackson is in talks to bring Alice Sebold's best-selling novel 'The Lovely Bones' to the big screen.

Variety reports that if a deal is reached, Jackson would begin work on the film after completing 'King Kong'.

Talks are reported to be at an early stage.

'The Lovely Bones' tells the story of a murdered 14-year-old girl who, from Heaven, follows the lives of her family, her killer and the detective trying to solve her murder.
