I have seen the previews now for the Bridge to Terabithia movie, and am a little surprised by the way it is being portrayed as almost an action movie. I think it is a little odd, that the wonderful thing about Terabithia in the book is how it really celebrates the kids' (especially Leslie's) imagination...and then the movie makes it look like these imagined creatures, etc. are all really there.
I thought the preview made the movie look more like a fantasy, than a movie about friendship...I pictured it more like Because of Winn Dixie or My Girl. Anyway, we'll wait and see. If you want to see more about the book, the story, and the movie, including a contest, go to Walden Media's web page for Bridge to Terabithia.
