INKHEART (2008)

“Every story ever written is just waiting to become real.”

Brendan Fraser stars as Mo Folchart, a father who possesses a secret ability to bring characters from books to life when he reads them aloud.

But when Mo accidentally brings a power-hungry villain from a rare children’s fable to life, the villain kidnaps Mo’s daughter and demands Mo bring other evil fictional characters to life.

In an attempt to rescue his daughter, Mo assembles a disparate group of friends - both real and magic - and embarks on a journey to save her and set things right.
