LOS ANGELES - Oscar-winner Rachel Weisz is to star in Peter Jackson's
upcoming movie adaptation of best-selling novel "The Lovely Bones," it
was reported on Tuesday.

Weisz, who scooped a best supporting actress award last year for her
performance in "The Constant Gardner," will play the mother of a young
girl who is abducted and feared murdered, Variety reported in its online
edition.

Production on the film is set to get underway in October, Variety
reported. Jackson, the Oscar-winning director of the "Lord of the Rings"
movies, sparked a bidding war amongst Hollywood studios after announcing
plans to adapt Alice Sebold's 2002 novel.

Steven Spielberg's Dreamworks company beat out competition from
Universal, Warner Bros. and Sony to win the right to produce and release
Jackson's first film since "King Kong".
