Librarylizzi Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Markus Zusak announced the trailer will be shown today on his facebook page, I am excited and scared at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hmm - I have mixed feelings about this news too! Thanks for the info though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carelia Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 this looks interesting. and it has Geoffrey Rush in it - one of my favourite actors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaliepud Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Will be definitely looking at the trailer later, have liked his FB page in preparation. The film surely can't capture the atmosphere of the book? Edited August 21, 2013 by chaliepud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I've liked his FB page in preparation too. I think it has the potential to be an excellent movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobblybear Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Trailer looks good, but I hope Death features in it as prominently as he does in the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I think it looks great. On Zusak's blog, he has said that Death will be narrating it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppyshake Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 On the one hand .. on the other (please don't ruin one of my fave books). I like Geoffrey Rush but he's not at all how I imagined Hans to be .. ditto Emily Watson but sometimes this is the case and then all your doubts disappear when you watch it .. fingers crossed this is one of those times. John Williams has composed the score which is brilliant. I'm hoping the voiceover on the trailer is just that .. and not the voice of Death. I am starting to stress about it and I didn't know of it's existence until today If they get it wrong I'll hunt them down and ... and ... give them a right good telling off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Librarylizzi Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 I am one of those odd people that don't like to watch films where I've read the books before. There are only a few exceptions, Salmon Fishing In The Yemen is one I enjoyed. This book for me was almost overwhelmingly good and I want to watch it but will have to somehow "forget" the book if that's even possible lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaliepud Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 The trailer looked good but very action packed whereas the book was actually more measured and calm. Will have to watch it but like Lizzi may have to separate the two in my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayley Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) Has anybody else seen the trailer for The Book Thief yet? I think it looks really good, I can't wait to see it. I know there are plenty of fans of the book on here too Here's a link if you haven't seen it yet Edited October 4, 2013 by Michelle merged with existing thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayley Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 oops, sorry I didn't notice the original thread! I searched 'the book thief' in the search bar to make sure I hadn't missed a thread on it too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
