It'll happen.

I doubt it'll happen good, though.

Though Spiderwick is doing well with critics and the box office I hear and it's probably around the same popularity as Bart.

Slightly less, I like to think.
I wrote a couple scripted scenes cuz I was bored one night and couldn't sleep.

Perhaps.

But if they're turning that sorry excuse for a novel Twilight into a movie then...

:(

The Twilight movie is going to be like Eragon all over again.

Them producers are all business and no passion. :(

Which is why Garth Nix didn't sell Sabriel's rights...

I think the earliest we'll get it is 2010, and that's if we actually hear something as far as the script goes.

That's a bummer.

You guys are depressing me now. SMILE! :lol: Who knows, the producer might care.....

Well, we're being realistic.....look at how long it has taken to create an Artemis Fowl movie.

And still...nothing.

In Ptolemy's form, you mean? Cause those gargoyle and lizard forms will probably be done with CGI.

Well, I meant his voice actor (just in case Bartimaeus was something else beside his human form), but if the Ptolemy in the film turned out to be entirely different from the Ptolemy in the book, I'd be disappointed at that as well.

The movie captivating the heart of the book, that's what counts. =)

I wonder how they'd do that...I guess cast Ptolemy's image for the first movie, but he'd be changed by the third. Maybe they should shot some parts back to back.

At the least, be mentally prepared for dissapointment, so if and when it comes, the blow isn't as hard as it would have been otherwise. I don't think authors have much of a say in there books' movies these days.

Unless they refuse to sign unless they get their way with the movies.

The movie industry's really desperate to get some money these days...they won't even care if they wrecked the book, just as long as they make the movie look good so that more ppl would go and watch it while the industry is getting a profit.

Or am I just bashing Hollywood for no good reason whatsoever? :unsure:

That sounds like a fun game. :D

Stroud won't let them do that.
I think he'll only let them make it if He gets full control.
Ayn Rand did that, and the project got sidelined 'till she died, and now an Atlas Shrugged movie is due in the next couple/three years.

Quite frankly, I can't believe Hollywood actually believes these movies are any good or will make money.

Then again..

Eh.
Look at what happened with LotR.
Hollywood, amazingly, sometimes gets it right.
Mostly.
