    How great is that? Just a few days ago I read something about them only having Rachel so far and that they still need someone to play the father. And I thought who would be best and I couldn't think of anyone who could play that wonderful character. But Ryan seems the perfect choice. The only reason i didn't think of him first was because I thought they'd find him too young, but in my opinion, there is nobody else out there who could portray Suzy's loving father. Great choice, Jackson. I love you for that :) The Lovely Bones is one of my favorites and even though it's some time ago that I read it, the figure of the father has stuck in my mind all this time. I can't wait for this movie. If Ryan chooses to star in it, it will be golden. (some said that the dialog is horrible after Jackson and his partners adapted it, but for Ryan dialog is important so that is the best indicator) I literally can't wait..I'm so darn excited!
    Ryan's the best, hopefully this will be his next chance at the Oscar.
