I think Bart should be voiced by Billy Crystal
Just a suggestion.
And it would save a lot of time and money if they put a real person for Bartimaeus' Ptolemy form.

The very begginning, in Nat's room, I have as James Earl Jones or Michael Clarke Duncan for the nice deep voice.
Anyone think any better?

Truly depends on who directs it. Could be a disaster like Eragon, which now that I look back on it was drawn way too much from modern stories, or it could be great such as Harry Potter or Series of Unfortunate Events

It's going to be a dissapointment. I have a sixth sense about these things.

Be positive. I feel it might turn out to be quite good. Magic is always better potrayed on screen (excluding Eragon of course). Also, even if it is a disaster, I reckon more ppl would start to read the book if the movie releases. That was quite the case in HP. But the HP movies were good, so u can't exactly say.

I think the fourth movie of HP was the worst. All the others were pretty good.

The trailers of the 4th movie were so awesome, I went to the theatre with high expectations. I was so terribly disappointed! It was the worst movie with the best trailer.

the 4th movie disappointed me too =( the movie went way too fast, they skipped many parts in the book, and for some reason, when i watched it a few more times, to me it seemed...well kinda fake. still, there were some good parts in it though

hopefully they'll stay true to the book when they make the bartimaeus movie

oh btw this is my first post :new:

Yes, but many films can still be great while drifting a bit off the book. But then most fail.

Hi to all! I am new here.You see I just finished reading the trilogy and i found it very amusing.
Unfortunately I believe that the adaption of the books wont satisfy the fans.You saw how bad was the adaption of the trilogy His Dark Materials.
Ok here we dont have any direct offences to catholics or other similar problems.
But the whole story is about the relationship between master and servant and about Bartimaeu's footnotes and memories.How is it possible to put all these things into a movie?Bartimaeu's memories are 1 movie only by themselves!!

I'm afraid it'll be like the movie Eragon...a fantasy movie that needed a bigger budget and a good cast, but didn't get either.

But Bart has a good story going for it. If they can capture it.

Exactly!
Producers have to understand that itsnot their 1st priority to make an epic fantasy film, full of special effects.The most important is to make a film to enjoy the audience.And they should not forget Bartimaeu's flashbacks.
They are very important too.
I believe bartimaeus trilogy is too difficult to be adapted succesfully to movies.
They have destroyed much easier to adapt, bestsellers!
