Inkheart
is an upcoming 2009 fantasy film , directed by Iain Softley . It is
based on
the 2003 German novel of the same name by Cornelia Funke .
When Mo (Brendan
Fraser) reads aloud from books, he has the ability to make the
characters
come out of the book, into real life. Mo discovered his power when his
daughter
Meggie (Eliza Bennett), was just a baby. Mo read aloud from
the book Inkheart, which caused several of the book's wicked
characters,
including Capricorn (Andy Serkis), to literally come to life. But while
he
read them out of the book, he accidentally read Meggie’s
mother, Theresa (Sienna
Guillory) into the story.
Meggie is
12 years old, but knows nothing of her father's bizarre and powerful
talent.
But Meggie is annoyed that Mo still refuses to read to her. Capricorn,
a man
who burns for pleasure and being so evil that he would "feed a bird to
a
cat on purpose, just to watch it being torn apart", has searched for
Meggie's father for years, seeking to twist Mo's powerful talent to his
own
dark means. Finally, Capricorn realizes that the best way to lure Mo to
his
remote mountain hideaway is to use his beloved daughter Meggie as bait.
While
Meggie discovers Capricorn's ruthless plan, she too, can pluck people
from
pages and bring them to life, but it takes a while for her to realize
her power. |
