Movie Update
Sorry for the delay in posting this news, but with the busy time of year, I'm just getting to blogging about this. Last week, the Hollywood Reporter posted this article titled, "'Game of Thrones" Editor to Adapt Paramount's 'The False Prince.'"
The editor they speak of is Bryan Cogman, an executive story editor for HBO's Game of Thrones series. Bryan is a Juilliard-trained actor and very talented writer who has written two of the show's episodes and works on set throughout the filming. I could not be happier to have him working on the screenplay.
It's also thrilling just because Bryan has worked on Game of Thrones. The False Prince has often been called "A Game of Thrones for kids." Although the stories certainly have their differences, both series' are interwoven with court intrigue, spies, wars and rumors of war, lies, betrayal, and witty characters. Bryan Cogman is a perfect choice to bring that wonderful flavor into The False Prince screenplay.
Finally, it is the greatest of honors to have The False Prince associated with Paramount Pictures. My many thanks to producer Deborah Forte of Scholastic Media who has done so much for this book's journey to film.
But I do need to answer a few questions...
1. Is a movie for certain?
Until the popcorn is in your hand and you have your seat in the theater, nothing is certain. So this is a great step forward, but only one step. Keep your fingers crossed that it moves to the next!
2. Has the movie been cast?
No, but I would love to hear your suggestions for any cast members, if you have them. I do have a few of my own ideas, but I'm not revealing them yet!
3. Will you let me know when they're casting, so I can audition?
Sure! How cool would it be if that worked out? Would you still talk to me if you became famous?
4. What can I do to help?
Um, at this point, unless you are very good friends with any higher ups at Paramount, you can wait along with me, hoping for more news to come soon! But be patient - this is a long process and it takes time!
I will keep you updated when I know more!

I'm keeping my hopes up Jennnifer! I mean, when I first read the False Prince I was seriously hoping it would get turned into a movie. So awesome.

Congrats!! That is awesome news. In the meantime, still patiently waiting for the sequel... ;)
I disagree. I'm IMpatiently waiting for the sequel. Jennifer, you can never write fast enough! :D
@Jocelyn, I didn't want to put any undue pressure on Jennifer. Haha! But I agree with you - I can't wait either. :) And I have recommended this book to everyone I know.
So have I! And nearly everyone I recommended the book to absolutely loved it. No surprise there.
But, Jennifer, if you feel to pressured I take that back! It's not like The False Prince left with a terrible cliffhanger or anything...only that it was so good I couldn't wait until The Runaway King came out!

It's my birthday today and this news is one of the best presents I could have! Thank you so much for keeping us fans updated!
@Jocelyn - no pressure! The sad reality is that Book 2 has been written for many months now. It just takes time to move through copyedits, cover design, etc. I'm actually starting on the edits for #3 right now. Sorry it takes so long between releases!@Tirzah - happy birthday! I hope you've had a wonderful one!
@Everyone - thank you for your continued enthusiasm and especially for recommending the book to others. This is always the highest of compliments!
Oh man! I know I am late to the scene, I have only just discovered your books this week! Now I am reading up on everything I can so I am in the loop.Just a throw out there idea, Jeremy Renner would make a fantastic Conner and Skander Keynes has the best smug face.
Oh I hope this does make it to the big screen, I think "The False Prince" would make such an excellent movie!
Ooh - I'd never thought about Jeremy Renner for Conner, very interesting! And I think Skander Keynes does have a great look. Great input!
Ooh, this sounds great! If it does get made into a movie, it will be awesome! Can't wait to see who they cast for Sage.
Sage should probably be someone new and virtually unknown. It would be nice to see a fresh face in that potentially powerful role.
