*sigh* Okay, maybe no one cares about being nostalgic these days except middle-aged and old people...

And Bart is still enjoying his life in the OP. It won't be long before he gets summoned again...in the big screen this time, but that still seems ages away. Wonder how Bart would feel about that, being in a movie about himself.

Yeah, we've all had our doubts, considering those you mentioned and the previous films. But
One: It's probably never going to be made
two: If it does, we should have faith.

Like I said, the footnotes could be done by Bart turning to the camera and saying them out loud or something. Although I don't know about the really long ones...

And welcome! :welcome:

Well, I understand ur concerns, but the books will become highly popular if a good movie is made. If the movie is bad, well, no difference. It won't stop me or the rest from loving the books.
Hogwartshok, Barty turning to the audience to recite the footworks won't work, I think. What if he is conversing with someone? What will the other person do when he meanders through his memories? They can't always say, 'Stop daydreaming Bart!'

Aren't the books already popular? They just don't have a net following for some reason. Demographics or something.


Meh, I still want my tentacles Dansariki.

Wow.
I always thought of the footnotes in a Fight Club style.

I just thought an over voice and a few flashback scenes would do nicely.

They could just leave the footnotes out.

Bad idea. Sorry. That would just be another Eragon.

Anyone saw Malcolm in the Middle? (If you haven't watched it...it's ok.) Well, it's going to be just like the parts where Malcolm turns around and starts talking to the camera. But good point N&B, it might not work well anyway...

Just as long as the director for the AoS movie is not like the Eragon director. Although I kinda feel sorry for that guy though, he was a first-timer.
