Whoa, whoa! Their making Inkheart into a movie? Damn. Well, I didn't really like it...
I've mentioned this...
One: They need good writers to make a good film. And that's hard, seeing the writer strike...
Two: The flashbacks would be hard and take a long time, and the thing producers hate to do is extend the movie. They think we get too bored easily. Some of us do, but if the movie is exciting and good, it'll never be too long!
Three: Yes, the graphics are too focused on. I've said enough.
Four: Nothing is too difficult spartian13, they thought the Lord of the Rings was too hard to convert. But look how great it is!

Some of the actors and actresses are pretty good; the acting might just be okay. But the plot I'm still worried about.

Anyway, back on topic...

Though graphics aren't the first priority it would be good to have a nice budget. But The Golden Compass probably blew all hope of that....

Secondly, like you said we need good writers. But I think that it'll be fine if they incorporate Mr. Stroud.

A good director is really, really, really critical. And of course, so are good actors. Especially for Bart.

Right, good voices for Bart. And unfortunely, I don't think Stroud is going to be employed to be writer, unless there's no other ones.
AND THEY BETTER NOT SCREW UP THIS ONE! Most films by fantasy adaption is messed. I think the writers and directors just don't understand the true meaning of these books.

Not a writer, just a consultant. I believe Pullman had some say about the Golden Compass movie.

And they will screw it up, as most people making fantasy movies are trying for a Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings repeat. i.e. Eragon.

Consultant, yes. Writers need to be good too. Plot is mostly problems with these adaptations.

The writing is important, yes.

But it honestly isn't the most important thing. If the plot is good. The characterizations can be worked on with the actors/director/editing.

Most important is a good budget and director. Without a good director the movie is going to be awful.

for some reason im more into the musical score when it comes to movies *thinking john williams*, but i shouldn't think about that yet since it's not really that critical

good director, good writer, good actors...maybe good producers too? :hmm:
