'Lovely Bones' Interview with Saoirse Ronan and Rose McIver

Stars of "Lovely Bones" sit down with Nick Maslow to discuss working with Susan Surandon and Stanley Tucci, the difference between the movie and novel, and director Peter Jackson's relationship with actors on set.

Please don't say God's Holy name in vain Exodus 20:7 “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name." God loves you and so do I. Give your life to Jesus Christ and repent of all your sins, even the ones you've committed in the past.

[@BogusOp]

its rumoured ronan is a lesbian

[@jimstythehpguy]

Agreed!

[@leighhudd5348]

They did a great job at making her look like the younger one though.

[@wasgeorgewashington]

Leigh Hudd She was young. She was 13 when casted

[@059_madelineabigail5]

I think she meant Rose... Rose was like 20 something, playing Saoirse (Susie Salmon)'s sister who was in real life around 15 that time

[@julianbluefeather8491]

I understood in the movie Lindsey is supposed to be older. It’s not a huge change

[@CiaraMochiko]

She had to age in the movie because in the book years and years passed. So they had to get someone that could also look older when time passed

[@sierramcgee4319]

this movie was beautiful it was full of Emotion ...the movie made me cry my eyes out

[@miresly777777]

sierra mcgee 😢you are not the only one it was very sad 😭😢

Yeah, and seeing behind the scenes moments like this lightens the mood!

[@chloemiddleton6612]

THEY WERE HOLDING HANDS THROUGHOUT THE INTERVIEW... I love that I hope they still keep in contact!

[@jessicakennon]

Odd how Rose McIver is a lot older than Saoirse Ronan, but Rose what the little sister in the movie. I thought Lindsey looked older than Susie.

[@meliatrevore6011]

Jessica Kennon always thought the Lindsey was the oldest but after just now found out that she was younger than susie

[@ChristophProbst]

It was supposed to be that she started as the younger sister and then aged past what Susie would have been had she not died. But Rose looked like a full blown adult in the movie because at the time of filming she was 20 years old. Rose may be a good actress, but it was just terrible casting for the role. They needed a young looking teenager.

[@ITSMERlVER]

Jessica Kennon agreed!

[@LeireMcCartney95]

​@@ChristophProbst I don't think so at all!! She needed to be older 'cause Lindsey is supposed to grow throughout history. It was better to take a couple of years off an older actress than to use a whole creative process to make a teenager look like a lady at the end (remember that finally we can see a Lindsey married and expecting a baby).

[@johnmarcinko2484]

[@shouvikghosh8946]

@@angelic_affirmations7 Well I would prefer Little Woman with Mama Joyce and MJ in it. Only good thing about 2019 version was Saoirse herself...... And the "Such a Poser" girl was decently well...

[@rosskerr1439]

I don’t have the stomach for this movie, but I’ve seen them in other things, and they are incredible.

[@itsmemelea]

how can people actually think Rose sounds Australian? She has a very strong NZ accent.

[@350zWolf24]

They shot part of the movie in my neighborhood in Chester Springs PA. I feel so honored!

[@prematurepopstar900]

Isn't it strange how in real life Rose is six years older than Saoirse, but in the film Rose plays a girl who is about three years younger than Saoirse? WEIRD :P

[@charliegraham2966]

prematurepopstar900 I'm pretty sure saoirse was supposed to be the youngest in the movie

[@moonmoonface119]

Charlietubex 34 nah, saoirse is the oldest sister

[@Nazaba09]

In ‘atonement’, the actress who played 18 year old Briony was older than Keira Knightley, who was her older sister. It’s about the age you LOOK.

[@mrreformer604]

Expert film director here - in the film they needed the character of the sister to age 6 years to show time had passed and it's easier to make a 20yr old look 14 than a 14yr old look 8... it's also the reason you don't see her younger brother in the second half of the movie

[@dianemizrachi9379]

I really am glad I saw this movie, I didn't know anything about it but it really got my attention as the story went. This movie really puts you in the moment of the cereal killers thinking and the victims fear of realising her situations danger. It is a good movie for pointing out the true dangers to kids and trusting women to strangers, even your neighbors. It's full of suspense and fears.

[@dianemizrachi9379]

A must see!! Especially for older children.

[@chelseagranger6434]

well i just found out about rose's accent and came to see this only to find out saoirse is irish! though....honestly....i should've figured that out from the name.....duh chelsea. but i never would've known that from her movies

[@kingzleez9973]

so how did they both talk regular in the movie?

[@kingzleez9973]

so how did they both talk regular in the movie?

[@chelseagranger6434]

+Kingz Leez voice lessons, accent coaching.

[@chelseagranger6434]

+Kingz Leez I should also probably point out that they aren't talking "regular". Regular for them is their own native tongue and American accents are the different thing. The American accent is not regular. Regular is different to each person depending on where they grew up.

[@cassiemay9582]

+Chelsea Granger I thought the exact same! I was very surprised to know they both weren't american, im a kiwi myself (new zealander) so they all did an amazing job! I'm not just saying that as a Peter Jackson fan as I've litterally have not seen lord of the rings etc (I will) but have driven through the town it was filmed in called Matamata and they have turned it into a lil hobbit village touristy place so cool lol I just adore lovely bones so much! my fav movie along with Titanic

[@Sythra]

A very thoughtful and professional interview. Well done, Nick.

[@shouvikghosh8946]

A Kiwi and an Irish...Brilliant.....

[@omniscrewedgook5488]

She (Rose) looked at least 17 in the film. Personally, I like how Saoirse's accent is American, Irish, English. Kinda neutralized. It sounds so much more personable and easily made out than common British i.e. Colin Farrell's and the Harry Potter cast's.

[@Ronson1324]

One of my all time favorite movies!

I am a big fan of both actors and loved the movie and I am exited to read the novel

[@TKM9804]

@jessicakennon is because they finished filming at 1 year, and Peter did the editing of the film months later, so people, they filmed the movie ending 2008 to 2009, but the movie has scenes that Rose looks younger but, because of the makeup...

[@prajjwalgupta4879]

Such a beautiful movie

Rose plays in izombie, once upon a time and the lovely bones. I’m a fan of all 3

i get what they are saying about stanley tucci. He looked familiar the whole movie and i couldnt put my finger on who he was. when i found out i was shocked! what an amazing actor and i did leave his character in the movie and still was able to love him in other movies he starred in afterwards. great movie. and saoirse ronan is gorge! those eyes those eyes:)

I LOVE SAOIRSE!!!!

[@xiaui556]

Omg, i Just got this in my feed, lets see people complaining about alghorythim "Coments at least 4 years older or more" Me: 👁👄👁

[@greciamedero2808]

The younger sister looked like the oldest to me. I believe the actress was older than Susie but I think they did that because Susie doesn’t age due to the fact that she dies and her sister does age in the movie and becomes pregnant even. However I still think she should’ve been younger because she seemed a lot older than Susie to me

[@MuhammadAdnan-gx6rd]

I have lost my enough tears emotionaly attacked :(

[@Alicia-hd2jx]

They were holding hands, then the camera zoomed in and then they weren't holding hands

[@titanx9]

@itsgunnabelegendary The only difference I can hear from Aussie and NZ accents is that kiwi accent is easier to understand for me. Not sure why. It seems softer than Aussie or some British accents. Or maybe Rose is just an eloquent speaker, idk.

Susie and Lindsay omggg

[@stillwatersrundeep001]

Why was an actress 6 years older than the lead actress cast as her _younger_ sister? And why cast a 19-year-old (at the time of filming) as a 13-year-old? Talking about Rose McIver

[@blackpinkandbtsworlddomina6988]

I think because in the book when Susie dies her younger sister surpassed her age wise, so they probably needed the actress to be a little older

[@raysonraypay5885]

Oh cool! Forgot my wives had this interview

[@am4rio866]

Rose definitely does not have an Australian accent. Learn to tell the difference people.

[@Shellsmell]

@prematurepopstar900 they did that on purpose, because at the end after Susie dies everybody gets older and her sister is an adult and pregnant, so they needed an actor that could play an adult at the end, if they had somebody younger she couldn't play a pregnant adult at the end, that's why they put pigtails and braces on rose so she could look younger then susie(:

Gosh, when you're 14 and your co-star is 20 you'd expect that she'd be mature enough to let you answer some of the questions. Not the case with Rose! She took over the entire interview and talked so fast, she didn't let Saoirse talk more than 10 seconds before she'd start interrupting and talking again. Geez. Unbelievable.

[@Rudromukherjeenerv]

I bet she feels sick to her stomach now! Haha!

[@MaxTheRoonDog]

This isn’t the whole interview. I saw another part of it where Saoirse talked more in it. Rose is a sweetheart, I don’t think it was intentional to talk more, she just spoke when she felt she had something to say. And It didn’t seem to me that Rose was interrupting

[@MeganHLTX]
