Inkheart (2008)
Directed by Iain Softley, Inkheart (2008) is a fantasy adventure film that follows the Folchart family. Mo and Resa read a fairy tale to their daughter, Meggie, when a red velvet hood appears mysteriously. Twelve years later, while on a trip to Europe with her father, Meggie finds herself in an old book shop. Little does she know, Mo is secretly searching for a specific copy of Inkheart. As he finds the book, Meggie has an encounter with a horned marten that tries to attack her fingers. A familiar man comes to her rescue, claiming to be an old friend. Recognizing him as Dustfinger, Mo quickly seeks refuge with Meggie. They then visit Elinor in Italy where Mo confesses that nine years ago, during one of his readings from Inkheart, he mistakenly brought Dustfinger into the real world using his innate ability.
Regrettably, the book’s antagonist, Capricorn, and one of his accomplices, Basta, were also extracted from its pages. Evading with his infant daughter, Mo realizes Resa has been pulled into the book as well. Soon after, Capricorn shows up with Basta in tow, who captures the group and proceeds to destroy Elinor’s library before taking possession of Inkheart. Mo, Meggie, and Elinor are then transported to Capricorn’s newly established castle in the real world. During their captivity, Mo discloses his unique ability to Meggie and Elinor; explaining that when he reads a character or an object out of a storybook, someone from reality is inadvertently drawn into its pages – hence Resa’s disappearance. Coerced by Capricorn, Mo is forced to use his gift to conjure up treasure from one of the tales in The Arabian Nights and subsequently imprisons Farid – one of Aladdin’s notorious 40 Thieves.
