WHAT NEW LINE CINEMA & WARNER BROS. PICTURES SAYS:
Based on the best-selling book by Cornelia Funke, "Inkheart" is a fantasy adventure that sends a father and daughter on a quest through worlds both real and imagined.
Mortimer "Mo" Folchart and his 12 year old daughter, Meggie, share a passion for books. What they also share is a unique gift for bringing characters from books to life when they read aloud. But there is a danger: for every character brought to life from a book, a real person disappears into its pages.
On one of their trips to a secondhand book shop, Mo hears voices he hasn't heard for years. and when he locates the book they're coming from, it sends a shiver up his sping. It's Inkheart, a book filled with illustrations of medieval castles and strange creatures - a book he's been searching for since Megge was three years old, when her mother, Resa, vanished into its mystical world.
But Mo's plan to use the book to find and rescue Resa is thwarted when Capricorn, the evil vilain of Inkheart, kidnaps Meggie and demands Mo bring other evil fictional characters to life. Determined to resuce his daughter and send the fictional characters back where they belogn, MO assembles a unique group of friends and allies - some real, some magical - and embarks ona daring and perilou journey to set things right.
