 The Popkorn Junkie :: Tuck Everlasting
"Tuck Everlasting" is a book I have never had the opportunity to read, unfortunately, so I was completely blind and unsuspecting while walking into the theatre.
"Tuck Everlasting" is a delightful fantasy, which features one of the best and brightest casts of the year: Jonathan Jackson, Ben Kingsley, William Hurt, Amy Irving, Victor Garber, and Sissy Spacek.
But, nevertheless, "Tuck Everlasting" is quality entertainment and one of the better family pictures of the year.

 Tuck Everlasting
However, the Tucks harbour a secret - one hundred years previously, they unknowingly drank from a fountain of youth and attained immortality, leaving them blessed (or cursed?) to remain at their current ages until the end of time.
Basically, there are two types of music in Tuck Everlasting: low-key, pastoral, almost flighty passages for a small and deliberate orchestral complement, which occasionally rises to great thematic crescendos; and fast, lively, homespun country whirls featuring fiddles, guitars, ethnic flutes, and all manner of effervescent and exciting percussion.
The main theme, indicative of the growing relationship between Winnie and Tuck, is a gentle and romantic full-orchestral effort, and is relayed several times throughout the course of the score.

It was announced via the Official Jackson Brothers email list on April 9, 2001 that Jonathan has landed the lead role of "Jesse Tuck" in Tuck Everlasting, a movie produced by Disney based on the 1975 children's book by Natalie Babbitt.
I’ve just finished a film for Disney called Tuck Everlasting and the director was a very fine, intelligent man. When there was a problem, to my relief, the producers did not throw money at it, but they sat down and debated it, so the problem was resolved creatively.
The waterfall was all closed off and security guards asked us to leave because they were filming scenes from a movie called "Tuck Everlasting", one of the security guards gave me the scoop that it was about the fountain of youth, and it stars Ben Kingsley, Amy Irving, William Hurt, and Sissy Spacek.

Without a real purpose to their endless days, they feel, as Angus describes it, "like rocks on the side of the stream."  Insulated from aging as well as the relationships that create a life, they hide in fearful isolation.
In the end, Winnie must decide whether to join the Tucks in their everlasting state, or choose to live through the cycles of life into which we are all born.
  Consider how this goal of a “godly life” is different from an “everlasting life.”  Consider how the Tuck’s experience of their unending existence would have changed if they had lived a “godly” life of loving ministry rather than one of living in hidden seclusion.

With the makings of a classic, Disney's Tuck Everlasting is loosely but respectfully adapted from Natalie Babbitt's beloved children's book.

I recently read "Tuck Everlasting" (a short read to be sure) and found it to be a compelling piece of literature completely worthy of more adult appreciation in it's depth and presentation of such serious subject matter, and it's appreciation of prose and atmosphere.
The film promises to be in the vein of other quality family films based on books such as the Little Princess and The Secret Garden, and old Disney favorites such as Pollyanna, Old Yeller and Mary Poppins.
