Tuck Everlasting

webwizard333 · 07-15-2002, 09:35 AM

I'm looking forward to this movie, though I have no clue when it comes out in theatres (I only saw a poster for it at my local theatre). I read the book a long time ago, but greatly enjoyed it and the questions it raised. I hope they stay with the story and don't change much for the movie version.

Tuck Everlasting comes out on October 11.

It was a pretty interesting book. I hope they don't change the movie around too much.....

***IronParrot*** · 07-16-2002, 09:00 PM

Wait, there's going to be a film of this? Why didn't I hear about it before? (Taking into account that I consider myself someone who follows the film biz pretty closely...)

I saw a movie poster for it, but have never read the book or anything and have no clue what it is about. Is the book good?

they made a movie of this when did it come out I so want to see it so bad where can you rent it tell me

There was an older (pretty bad) version made around 1980. I'm not sure where you can rent it. The new one will out on October 11.

The theatre where I work did the play Tuck Everlasting many years ago. It remains my favorite play I've ever worked on. It's a great story, and I hope the movie lives up to it's potential.

Well, for people who have Quicktime, you can see the trailers here-http://www.apple.com/trailers/disney/tuck_everlasting.html.

Bregalad · 08-08-2002, 09:43 PM

I have free passes to see a sneak preview on monday night! I can't wait! Sometimes, it's good to work for a theatre!

Faramir · 08-08-2002, 11:35 PM

I never read the book, but the preview looked intersting.

webwizard333 · 09-22-2002, 10:09 PM

After seeing a couple of previews, I'm not sure if they're changing the content too much. Sometimes it looks like they're sticking with the book's message on immortatlity and other times, it looks like they're changing it.

Breglad, how was it?

Rána Eressëa · 09-23-2002, 08:10 PM

I saw a commercial for it. What exactly is it about?

Sylvee Estel · 10-06-2002, 11:30 AM

It looks like its going to be a really good movie. I can't wait to see it!

cee2lee2 · 10-12-2002, 09:26 PM

I've never heard of the book and have only seen ads for the movie. Can someone give me a brief idea of the premise?

webwizard333 · 10-12-2002, 11:11 PM

Another post where I'll be using mostly spoilers.

The basic premise is that the girl meets up with a family who has become immortal from drinking of a spring in the nearby forest. They cannot be injured or killed by anything. Naturally, some shady fellow, I don't remember exactly from where, is hunting for them, because of their immortality. The girl falls in love with one of the immortal boys and must make the choice whether or not to drink from the spring. I won't say what she chooses, but I will say the book presents a very interesting moral/ethical argument on immortality.

cee2lee2 · 10-13-2002, 06:07 PM

Thank you webwizard! It sounds like something I'd want to see.

<cough> Or read.

cee2lee2 · 10-13-2002, 07:01 PM

That, too!

But if I read it before seeing it and not enough time passes between the reading and the seeing for me to forget details, I'll be real irritated with any changes made in the movie.
