First gorgeous ‘The Book Thief’ poster released, shows Liesel in the act of thievery

The first movie poster for the film adaptation of The Book Thief has been released.
The first poster features newcomer Sophie Nélisse as Liesel Meminger, pictured against a background of Nazi Germany. In the poster, we see Liesel having just committed the act of thievery – she has just stolen the book she is holding from the book burning taking place behind her.
Author Markus Zusak commented on the poster, saying “It’s gorgeous and stunning, and perfect in its image of Liesel, caught in the act of book thievery.”
He added, “If you could see me now, you’d catch me smiling…and why? She’s many things, that girl, but to me, right now – she looks ready.”
We think so too.
