Lovely Bones release in Oscar season
June 28th, 2009 by xoanon
Peter Jackson has revealed that the release of his film The Lovely Bones was delayed so it would have a better chance of being considered for the Oscars. The film was to have been released in March but Hollywood studio Paramount postponed release until December. "When we showed them the cut late last year, they decided to delay the release until December to plop it into the "awards season", which is a nice vote of confidence in the movie," Jackson said in magazine On Film. The delay meant he had more time to work on the final cut and spend more time on visual effects. He wished he had had the same luxury with his last film, King Kong. "I wish we had this time on King Kong, which we badly wanted to reduce by 20 minutes, but we ran out of time before figuring out how to do it," he said. Lovely Bones release in Oscar season
