'Tuck Everlasting'
They're a family frozen in time, free from death, but unable to truly live. William Hurt, Ben Kingsley, and Sissy Spacek are the big names in "Tuck Everlasting," the story of a family who drinks from the fountain of youth.
"They've stepped off the merry-go-round of life, and they're stuck," Spacek says of the movie. But it's the innocent love story between Jonathan Jackson and "Gilmore Girl" Alexis Bendel that steals the film.
Jackson is an old pro at romance. He won three Emmys on "General Hospital," but he hopes his work in film will prove he's more than just a pretty face. He says, "If I can do movies that portray love in a real way, in a pure way, then I’m cool with that."
Innocent love and immortality, they are the rich themes of "Tuck Everlasting."
