Bridge to Tarabithia

[Shenzi]

I checked and I don't think this thread as been made yet. I saw a commercial for this movie a few days ago when I saw Charlotte's Web. Disney is making a movie of an old book called Bridge to Tarabithia.

Jess Aarons had to be the Fastest runner at Lark Creek Elementary School, the best, but when he was challenged by Leslie Burke, a girl, that was just the beginning of a new season in Jess's life. Leslie and her parents were new comers to the rural community where Jess Lived, and were thought to be a bit odd, for they didn't even own a TV, though their house was filled with books. Some-what to Jess's surprise, he and Leslie became friends, and the worlds of imagination and learning that she opened to him changed him for ever. It was Leslie's idea to create Terabithia, their secret Kingdom in the woods where they reigned supreme. There no enemy - not their teacher Monster Mouth Meyers, their schoolmates Gary Fulcher and Janice Avery, Jess's Four sisters, or even Jess's own fears and Leslie's imaginary foes - could defeat them. The Legacy that Leslie finally brought to Jess enabled him to cope with the unexpected tragedy that touched them all. -- Novel by Katherine Paterson. --

I have never even heard of this book but the commercials for the movie looked cute. my best friend read the book, and wants to see it, so I might see it with her.
anyone else interested, and/or as read the book?

[Jane]

I haven't read the book, but I just saw the preview. I will definately be going to see this one.

[Tramp♥Girl?]

I usually never go to see movies, just buy them on DVD.

It sounds interesting!

[kimmykins83]

I'm not too sure if this movie will be right up my street or not yet from the sounds of it

[Mrs. Nesbit]

Wow, this one sounds quite interesting. I'm going to have to find an online preview for this movie and watch it.

[Sadako]

I've read some of the book, and I think it is pretty good. So I'll probably see it.

[joplin4]

It sounds similar to Narnia. And I really loved Narnia. So, I think I'll like this film. I want to see it.

I almost bought the book the other day when I went to Barns and Noble to put in an application but I have so many books that are un-read due to getting pulled in by the Quantum Leap novel series, so I really dont need it right now. I hope to read it someday though.

i've read it
it's very good, and the movie looks good as well

but not really like the book
i mean, in the book they only imagine terabithia, and never really describe how they see it.
by the looks of the commercial, they're taking it to the next level

[Shenzi]

oooh, I see well of course they kid of have to show what they are imagining in some way, so I guess that's what it is?
