READ THE BOOK - THEN SEE THE FILM
INKHEART
German writer Cornelia Funke's 2003 novel is about a bookbinder who has refused to read books to his young daughter ever since the girl's mother disappeared some years ago. The appearance of a mysterious stranger changes their lives and father and daughter go on the run from a bunch of dastardly villains.
The author actually chose Brendan Fraser to play the leading part and the film, made in Britain with locations in Italy, has a large well-known cast.
