This conflict is told through reflections to Winnie, the tragic story of Miles Tuck and his wife and children, and the sad story of the family cat.Įvery ten years, Miles and Jesse Tuck return to their parents’ home from traveling the world. They also wrestle with what it means to live forever when everyone around them dies.
The Tucks, Angus, Mae and their sons Miles and Jesse, have a secret they are immortal due to drinking from a spring in the forest. As the story progresses, we see them struggle with never aging or dying (despite being shot or poisoned). The music is by William Ross, the same composer behind The Hunger Games, Forrest Gump, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Additionally, the film has an amazing soundtrack that enhances the story without overwhelming it. It was nominated for a Critics Choice Award and two Saturn Awards, winning an award at the Heartland Film Festival.ĭirected by Jay Russell, who also directed The Water Horse and Ladder 49, the screenplay was adapted by Jeffrey Lieber ( Lost) and James Hart (1992’s Dracula, Hook, Contact). Starring Jonathan Jackson as Jesse, Alexis Bledel as Winnie, Scott Bairstow as Miles, Ben Kingsley as the Man in Yellow, William Hurt as Angus Tuck, and Sissy Spacek as Mae Tuck, Tuck Everlasting was released on October 11 th, 2002. Otherwise, I’m assuming that the standard differences apply.
According to my sources, there are some differences between the film and the book, mainly the age of Winnie Foster (she’s ten in the book). I should admit right now that I have never read the book Tuck Everlasting, but I have heard wonderful things about it. Not only about love, it is also a story about choice, and what it means to truly live. Tuck Everlasting is the story of the Tucks, a family of immortals, and a girl, Winnie Foster, who falls in love with one of them. Released in 2002, Tuck Everlasting was released by the Walt Disney Company and based on the novel of the same name by Natalie Babbitt.
