Have you ever snuggled up with a good book and been completely pulled into the story?

If you think you’ve been pulled into a story, you don’t know the half of it.

INKHEART is a new movie, starring Brendan Frasier, based on the best-selling novel by Cornelia Funke.

From the Production Notes:

Mortimer “Mo” Folchart (Brendan Fraser) and his 12-year-old daughter,
Meggie (Eliza Hope Bennett), share a passion for books.  What they also share is an
extraordinary gift for bringing characters from books to life when they read aloud.
But there is a danger: when a character is brought to life from a book, a real person
disappears into its pages.

On one of their trips to a secondhand book shop, Mo hears voices he hasn’t
heard for years, and when he locates the book they’re coming from, it sends a shiver
up his spine.  It’s Inkheart, a book filled with illustrations of medieval castles and
strange creatures—a book he’s been searching for since Meggie was three years old,
when her mother, Resa (Sienna Guillory), vanished into its mystical world.

But Mo’s plan to use the book to find and rescue Resa is thwarted when
Capricorn (Andy Serkis), the evil villain of Inkheart, kidnaps Meggie and, discovering
she has inherited her father’s gift, demands that she bring his most powerful ally to
life—the Shadow.  Determined to rescue his daughter and send the fictional
characters back where they belong, Mo assembles a small group of friends and
family—some from the real world, some from the pages of books—and embarks on
a daring and perilous journey to set things right.

This movie looks and sounds like it is going to be beautiful and fabulous.  I LOVE fantasy-like stories such as this one!
