The Film?

Here's an article that mostly talks about Ptolemy's Gate, but does briefly mention the film. Apparently Stroud wants Johnny Depp to voice Bartimaeus. Hmmmm.....

The voice acting choice sounds god, but Bartimaeus as a film sounds iffy. It's not a great book for movies and it has a lot of narraration (footnotes and such) which doesn't work well in film.

It could work, besides I gotta have more Bartimaeus.
I loved the Bartimaeus books but, like all trilogies, it was way too short.

Stroud liked him to voice it. Pretty Vague.

And I predict the film will be a pale shadow of the book. What the hell can you do with footnotes?

Little blocks of text at the bottom of the screen.
Or asides from Bartimaeus.

Maybe like stop the sequence and Bartimaeus pops up and says wutever then the movie continues.

They could use a voice over technique - slightly echoy for his mind or something like that

Might be an idea... Barti's voice coming from the back of the cinema, the rest of the sound is slightly muted, while the action continues - him as a mole digging into Lovelace's house or something.

I'm always iffy about films based on books. I usually love seeing the movies, but then it completly ruins the visualization of characters for me. Also there's always the chance that they will mess up big time on the film, but if its done right a movie would be awsome. (plus I'm desperate for more stuff)

They're not going to use such techniques. It's never been done before and multiplexes are not going to retro fit themselves for one film.

What techniques mentioned here a) have never been done before and B) couldn't be done by the cinemas?
