Happy Friday everyone! For the second Friday of October 2009, we’ve again gathered the latest posters to come out for this week’s poster round-up.

Screen Rant’s wall this week now includes new one-sheets for Toy Story 3, The Lovely Bones, Drive Angry, Ninja, Ong Bak 3, The Missing Person, The Princess and the Frog, The Box, Boondock Saints 2, New Moon and Pirate Radio.

In addition to that we have two bonus images from a cool looking period action film, titled Centurion.

Let’s get to it.

As the days become shorter, and the nights become cooler, there is one thing on the horizon that all of us are quickly becoming aware of – the arrival of a slew of exciting 2009 Fall Movies. What’s always been great about this time of year is that it’s not just about “horror films” or movies that are made to touch the holiday hearts that burgeon each year as turkey, Santa and New Year’s Eve stretch into the new year and beyond.

The menu is varied, wide open and we hope – satisfying. While we couldn’t list them all, please join us as we quickly chronicle what lies ahead in Screen Rant’s 2009 Fall Movie Preview!

Peter Jackson is a busy man lately. In addition to appearing at Comic-Con for the first time ever to promote District 9 (the sci-fi film he produced which premieres this Friday), Jackson has been ramping up promotions for his own film, an adaptation of the Alice Sebold’s novel The Lovely Bones.

Last week, Screen Rant shared the first official trailer for The Lovely Bones, which, while a bit heavy on spoilers, showed enough potential to merit some early Academy Award chatter. Now, we have even more footage of The Lovely Bones thanks to a behind the scenes featurette from Yahoo.

The first trailer for Peter Jackson’s adaptation of Alice Sebold’s bestselling novel The Lovely Bones has officially hit the net and (visually speaking) it looks as if Jackson is once again bringing us something special.

Before you watch the trailer though, I must warn you: it does reveal elements of the film that could be considered SPOILERS for those “purists” out there who don’t like to know too much too soon.

Now that you’ve been fairly warned, continue on to see the trailer.

You can now add Peter Jackson to the 3D bandwagon. In talking with MarketSaw, 3ality Digital Systems CEO Steve Schklair said that Jackson will be shooting all of his (directed) films in 3D from now on, using the technologies of Schklair’s 3ality company to do so.

This week:

Ferrell and Wahlberg are The B Team; make a date with Harry Potter; Matt Damon makes an Adjustment; Twilight’s Hardwicke decides to Stay and Blanchett hangs in the Hood.

A little while back, Peter Jackson asked New Line Cinema to open their Lord of the Rings accounting books, to investigate some strange financial things. The head of the studio Bob Shaye refused, so Jackson filed a lawsuit to have the books opened to see if profits were hidden, after the studio refused to do so.

Shaye, whose New Line, by the way, is owned by Time Warner, then went on a public tirade against the man who made more money for Shaye’s company than Freddy Krueger.

When that happened, Jackson wished everyone the best on The Hobbit film and potential second Lord of the Rings prequel.

So when Jackson started shopping his The Lovely Bones project around, New Line was left out of the bidding. Bets were abound that Shaye would be fired from the company he founded.

Now, word has hit that New Line may be finally trying to make amends with Jackson as The Hobbit starts to get off the ground.

Saoirse Ronan has been cast as Susie Salmon in Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones, an adaptation of a best-selling novel by Alice Sebold.

She joins Rachel Weisz and Ryan Gosling, who play her parents, in a film about a brutally murdered girl who watches events unfold from heaven. I’m hoping this is a return to PJ’s Heavenly Creatures, which if you haven’t seen it, run out and grab it. I believe it was that film, plus his FX work on The Frighteners and other films, that led him to working on The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
