2254001 I just saw on my Author updates, and Libba had posted on her blog saying that THE MOVIE IS NOT GOING TO BE MADE!
That makes me mad. Only because they have been making the movie for 3 years and they decided not to do it! I mean it's movie buisness and all but still...

Anyway, here's the link:

611251 I heard that. Thank you so much for posting this! It's too bad, eh?


message 4: by Jessalina (new)

937938 That's upsetting. Though I think it's funny she got paid for doing nothing (I wished I got paid for doing nothing).


message 5: by Allie, Mary Elizabeth Dixon (new)

835716 Haha yeah. I wouldve loved to c it in movie form.

I'm kinda pissed off actually. :S The fact that they worked on the movie for three years then they cancelled it, I'm really pissed off.
*sigh* Movie buisness. What can you do?

1188252 But, when it does come out, it'll be better than it might have been and maybe some other production company will pick up the project, you never know

1188252 ALLIE! I JUST POSTED!

835716 I KNOW!


message 11: by Jenny, Sahira Fowlsen (new)

1188252 Haha! I guess we stop "yelling" now.


message 12: by Allie, Mary Elizabeth Dixon (new)

835716 i suppose.


message 13: by Jenny, Sahira Fowlsen (new)

1188252 Haha!

2254001 lol!!!

1613763 i just heard about it! im so mad...i was so excited and now its just...not gonna happen...


message 16: by Aana (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 I'm really disappointed too. As much as i LOVE the gemma doyle triology i can see why they ended up not making the movies. first of all the obvious production costs of making a fantasy movie in the victorian time period. second of all they wouldn't be able to attract many viewers to watch it. I bet no boys would want to watch it, so the target audience would just be teenage girls. And with the recession and eveything, it just wouldn't work out. Oh well too bad. I really hope that someone other studio will decide to do it. :(


message 17: by Ashlynn (new)

1613763 me too...


message 18: by (G)Emma , Carolina Doyle (new)

611251 Aana...I think Twilight would only many get female viewers too, but I suppose it's more popular and not a period piece, also it isn't as scandalous, so it makes sense.


message 19: by ♥BookGeek♥ (new)

2254001 Yeah that's true. Historical Fiction is not THAT popular!


message 20: by (G)Emma , Carolina Doyle (new)

611251 Unless we're talking hot romance novels. :P


message 21: by ♥BookGeek♥ (new)

2254001 Oh those stupid, hot romance 'Seduce me By Sunrise' type novels? Sure that could work!


message 22: by Aleah (new)

2409340 ugh..... how can you all be fine with this?! lol its my favorite book! and its not a movie! :( im so sad! but atleast we still have the books!!!!! :)


message 23: by Heather (new)

2675184 I agree, I loved the books and would have loved it if they would make a movie out of it. But then again they may have ruined it if they tried to make it in to a movie, like so many other books.


message 24: by Jenny, Sahira Fowlsen (last edited Oct 05, 2009 06:31PM) (new)

1188252 So I just re-read a couple of Kartik/Gemma scenes the other day and I was trying to visualize them as a movie...they'd be a little cheesy.... It sucks, cuz when you read all of the book theyre not cheesy


message 25: by Allie, Mary Elizabeth Dixon (new)

835716 true, i guess


message 26: by (G)Emma , Carolina Doyle (new)

611251 Agreed! The transition from book to movie is difficult.


message 27: by Jenny, Sahira Fowlsen (last edited Oct 06, 2009 07:55PM) (new)

1188252 They would have to have really good actors and script writers, aside from Libba.


message 28: by deliabookworm (new)

2072336 I'm glad they're not making a movie of it, they would ruin it. LOL we could totally make a fan-video instead. It would be really crappy though lol.


message 29: by Jenny, Sahira Fowlsen (new)

1188252 Haha! But, so much fun to make! Its like I heard on the radio the other day. We would have so much fun making the movie...we'd forget to make the movie


message 30: by Abby (new)

1328527 I didnt even know that they were working on the movie, ive been kinda out of the loop, who was gunna be in it?


message 31: by (G)Emma , Carolina Doyle (new)

611251 It hadn't gotten to cast yet. They were just finishing the script.


message 32: by Jenny, Sahira Fowlsen (new)

1188252 Basically Libba got paid to do nothing. Which is awesome


message 33: by Allie, Mary Elizabeth Dixon (new)

835716 ahahahah!


message 34: by ChLoE (new)

2871503 It's not being made? Aw! I was looking forward to it. :(


message 35: by Peanut (new)

2769975 Hi! I'm new. I was looking forward to it being a movie too. Then i thought they might ruin it because we all have an idea of what they want it to be like.


message 36: by Jenny, Sahira Fowlsen (new)

1188252 Yeah, I was thinking that too. The twilight movie completely ruined how I viewed the characters of the book and now its practically impossible to get the originals back in my mind. But, thats okay. It was just a phase


message 37: by deliabookworm (new)

2072336 If they do ever make a movie, I AM trying out for Felicity...if they hold auditions, lol. She's my favorite character. :)

Yeah, me too. Read the books and then saw the movie i have to say i was a little disappointed about it, I kept wanting to yell at the screen.


message 39: by deliabookworm (new)

2072336 I actually liked the movie of Twilight, in a way I thought it was better than the book. But then, I didn't actually really like the book, and I really love Kristen Stewart, so maybe I'm a little biased...lol.


message 40: by Allie, Mary Elizabeth Dixon (new)

835716 Yeah. The movie was okay, I liked the actors cuz I saw the preview before reading... But I know a lit of ppl thought it was terrible, n they might do that to TGDT.
Heh. There's a guy at my schoo that looks exactly like Edward Cullen. He's beautiful.


message 41: by Jenny, Sahira Fowlsen (new)

1188252 Haha! Edward or Rob Pattinson?


message 42: by Allie, Mary Elizabeth Dixon (new)

835716 Rob, but better, without the kinda weird-looking part. Pretty much all the girls obsess over him, but he's shy.


message 43: by Jenny, Sahira Fowlsen (new)

1188252 Its cuz he really is Edward!


message 44: by Allie, Mary Elizabeth Dixon (new)

835716 THAT'S WHAT I THINK! Hahaha. It was funny, me and my friend usually see him walking to English, but we didn't one day, so I was like, "Maybe he's hungry. He's probably hunting." and then we turned a corner and he was right there. I'm like, "Uh... Nevermind."


message 45: by Katherine (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 Hey, I just joined! You guys got me all excited when I saw the posts about a movie being made, because these were some of those books I always imagined making amazing movies! But now I'm disappointed again.... oh well, maybe in the future?

Haha, just read the above comment. Hilarious. :)


message 46: by Jenny, Sahira Fowlsen (new)

1188252 Haha! I'm sorry, it sucks huh, and I guess Allie can be pretty hilarious at times. :P


message 47: by Allie, Mary Elizabeth Dixon (new)

835716 Haha... *blushes and hides in corner* hilarious or strange?
Angel or father? Friend or phantom? Who is it there calling?
Um... Strange, the answer would vlesly b, seeing as everything reminds mr of phantom... And I'm married to fictional characters...


message 48: by Jenny, Sahira Fowlsen (new)

1188252 Aren't we all?


message 49: by (G)Emma , Carolina Doyle (new)

611251 OMG JENNY.


message 50: by Jenny, Sahira Fowlsen (new)

1188252 AH! EMMA! I'M SORRY! I MISSED YOU! *SMACKS FOREHEAD* STUPID JENNY!
