[QUOTE=Sir Kohran]I also thought M&C and particularly Gallipoli were great movies, but I'm not sure he could do fantasy - he does political/historical films mostly, it seems. QUOTE]

I think Peter Weir would be fantastic (andI would prefer him to do "The Lovely Bones" too.

I feel he has a particular interest in enclosed communities - and their interraction or failure to interract with the wider world - not only Witness which is one of the best films I have ever seen, Dead Poets Society, and Picnic at Hanging Rock. It would be visually stunning I am sure and intelligently and sensitively done. Only question is whether it would interest him...
