The book, written by Katherine Paterson, was inspired by an event from her son David's childhood. His close friend, Lisa Hill, was tragically killed after being struck by lightning. To help her son cope with the profound loss, Katherine wrote the novel, using the story to explore themes of grief, friendship, and the power of imagination. Thirty years later, her son David, now a playwright, took his mother's novel and adapted it into the screenplay for the 2007 film. It was a project that he said took him nearly 17 years to get right, a testament to how deeply personal the story was for him and his family. The film and the novel stand as a powerful legacy, transforming a personal tragedy into a timeless tale that has helped countless readers and viewers navigate their own feelings of loss. Bridge to Terabithia is a 2007 American fantasy film directed by Gábor Csupó (in his directorial debut) from a screenplay by David L. Paterson and Jeff Stockwell. It is based on the 1977 novel by Katherine Paterson and stars Josh Hutcherson, AnnaSophia Robb, Zooey Deschanel, and Robert Patrick. In the film, adolescent children Jess Aarons (Hutcherson) and Leslie Burke (Robb) create "Terabithia", a fantasy world, which they use to cope with their troubled reality and spend their free time together. The original novel was based on events from the childhood of Paterson's son, who went on to write the film's screenplay; Csupó was hired in late 2005, and the rest of the main cast was rounded out soon after. Principal photography began in February 2006 and lasted until that April, taking place in Auckland. This was the last film for 71-year-old cinematographer Michael Chapman, who followed through with his planned retirement thereafter. Bridge to Terabithia was released in the United States on February 16, 2007, by Walt Disney Pictures. It received positive reviews from critics, with praise for its visuals, cast performances, and faithfulness to the source material. The film grossed $137.6 million worldwide. At the 29th Young Artist Awards, the film won all five awards for which it was nominated.
