The 2009 Film

Amulet Of Samarkand
Well, it's because new people are always coming in, so we just have to get used to it already.

Quite.
I think the topics title should be changed, It's fairly clear that whenever the movie's made, it won't be in 09, if at all.

lol i wonder how they gonna make the part that bart is in nats body
It will take a long time before that part actually makes it to the big screen. We gotta wait for the AoS movie to come out first, but since there isn't any new info as of right now... :huh:

Pretty much. And if they make Ptolemy look retarded, I kill. :whistle:

I know, like I said- They can't and won't, so long as Stroud gets a say in the matter.

I retracted my wing briefly, held the boy so he had a quick view of the square.
"Take a look," I said. "Which house do you think has the thinnest walls?"

For a moment, he was uncomprehending. Then his eyes widened. "You're
not---"

I'd say that the movie can end up quite well... It's alot of description in the movie which means that it'll be more like you imagined the chars (My first post on this forums :o

Welcome zigge!

There's a strong cinematic sensibility to the book(s), I think. Sometimes it annoyed me a little, ie. those frequent cuts from first to third to first person in the Barti-chapters (thought it was an editing problem before I realized it was going to be a continuing stylistic device.) But still, a cinematic sensibility.

This is one trilogy where, as I read it, I thought to myself, "I would LOVE to see this as a movie." Whether it would/will actually be adapted well is another matter, but it *feels* like it could.

Obviously no footnotes, though, which begs the question: what kind of meta fourth-wall device might be employed in their place?

Hey, what can I say, Sweets, if the Neo-Post-Modernist Backlash hadn?t?a caught Pre-Anti-Realism in its wake, you?d be sittin? pretty. (Darkwing Duck)
Surely you think Bart just turning and talking to the camera isn't going to work, huh? He could like make little remarks or passages from the footnotes themselves; it's not necessary to do like a whole footnote if it's really-super long or one of those explaining-the-situation kinds.
