Heaven Is Wonderful For AJ Michalka In Peter Jackson’s ‘Lovely Bones’

Peter JacksonFor viewers who gaped at his vision of Lothlorien, who were left awed by his realization of Helms Deep, or who stood slack-jawed in amazement at the details of Minas Tirith – get ready to be blown away again, insists AJ Michalka, who says the next place Peter Jackson takes you will have you thinking of heaven.
