Bridge to Terabithia -- behold the trailer
The trailer for Bridge to Terabithia is now up at Moviefone. And it's basically everything I was afraid the movie would be.
Seriously, check out this plot synopsis:
While playing on an old rope swing in the woods, two unlikely friends (Josh Hutcherson and AnnaSophia Robb) discover a fantastical land of walking trees, sword-wielding insects and an evil Dark Master.Walking trees? Sword-wielding insects? An evil Dark Master? Suffice to say that if you search for any of these words inside the book at Amazon.com, you will turn up nothing -- nothing -- of this sort. So where does all this crap come from? Well, the walking tree looks like a rip-off of the Ents in The Lord of the Rings, for starters.
As the friends battle the Dark Master for the salvation of the magical land they call Terabithia, they learn the importance of friendship, imagination and being yourself.
What a shame. Once again, Walden Media has a lot to answer for.

Everyone here is jumping to conclusions. Wait, see the movie, then see if they butchered it. Don't be so quick to judge. Could be you're right, but wait till you see the movie before you start going balistic.
I Cant wait to trash the first person who makes a horrible movie of one of my favorite books "Walk two moons" Grrrr
