Ronan completes lead casting for ‘Lovely Bones’

Date:

After adding names Ryan Gosling and Rachel Weisz to the project, casting is now complete for the lead roles in Peter Jackson’s adaptation of Alice Sebold's best-selling novel. It was probably one hell of a tough contest for the part – but a young actress going by the name of Saoirse Ronan will effectively become’ The Lovely Bones voice of narration.    

This is a heartbreaking tale narrated by a 14-year old girl after she has been raped and murdered. From heaven, she observes her shattered family's attempt to heal, as a detective tries to solve the case and as her killer moves along his demented path.
