Reem EEK!!!!!!!!!!
cant wait! cant wait! cant wait!


Don't_Trot_and_Text Oh...my...Haloway!! I messaged Lauren Oliver over goodreads and she confirmed that Delirium is being made into a movie!! I am like so excited it was really such a great book with such an inruiging plot! I must confess, I am Team Alex! But Julian is a nice kid.

Raven ad Blue are awsome!! Noooo, Blue! Why did ypu leave us!! *sobs*


Lizbeth I am so happy that this is going to the big screen. I may not have loved the ending of Delirium (Who does???), but I want to see how it would look on screen rather in my mind.

and i agree 100% this was a waste of time and it wasnt groundbreaking as how everyone (just about) claimed it to be.


Valencia Cain YAY!

They definitely screwed up Twilight. The book was three trillion times better than the movie. If Delirium comes out the same way, I might just die.

Why??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
WHAT IS UP WITH YOU PEOPLE AND YOUR OBSESSION WITH ALEX PETTYFER????????????????????????????????????????
WHY DOES EVERYONE WANT HIM TO PLAY THE LEAD MALE ROLE IN SO MANY MOVIES??????????????? HE'S NOT EVEN THAT GOOD OF AN ACTOR!!!!!!!!!! I WOULD NEVER ACTUALLY SAY THIS, BUT I'VE SEEN WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE SAYING "ALEX PETTYFER SHOULD PLAY BLAH, ALEX PETTYFER SHOULD PLAY BLAH AND BLAH!" GRRRR....
For example, various discussions mention:
Alex Pettyfer as Patch in Hush, Hush
Alex Pettyfer as Jace in City of Bones
Alex Pettyfer as Alex in Delirium NOW?
NO WAY!!!!!! ALEX CANNOT PLAY ALEX!!
ALEX CAN PLAY JULIAN IF HE WANTS, BUT NO WAY WILL HE PLAY ALEX, HE WILL FREAKING SCREW ALEX UP!!!!!

Someone who has some brains! :) :)
Anyway, if you're a fan of City of Bones, you can check out the discussions and see just why your hopes of Alex Pettyfer playing Alex Sheathes are pointless. There's a big drama over it. Ugh.


Sophie This is awesome! All my favourite books/series are turning into movies! The Hunger Games, The Mortal Instruments, Divergent, Artemis Fowl - and now Delirium! Awesome!


Elise Hmmmm...I can't decide if I'm ecstatic, or annoyed.

I loved the book, but really? Do movie producers have to do all these book-to-movie adaptations? (Twilght, Hunger Games, City of Bones, The Host, Beautiful Creatures, Percy Jackson, need I go on?)
Nevertheless, I'm curious to see how this all goes down. The cast has to be fantastic, or I will be very upset.

wow.....if the actors name is the same as the character in the book doesnt mean that theyre the best for the role!!!!

i like how u think catherine!


Nellie ☾ When I read Delirium, I pictured Jeremy Sumpter as Alex. I love him to be Alex xD


Asser Oh yes! I cannot wait for the movie! Me, I picture him as Callan McAuliffe. :)

@Nellie - reading your comment, I've realized that Jeremy Sumpter will also make a good Alex. Hehe.

I find it funny every time I encounter a discussion about book that's going to be made into movies, Alex Pettyfer is always present. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like him alright but he isn't every character in every freakin' book. Just saying.

Reem @Asser
i totaly agree with your comment. alex pettyfer=guy that looks nothing like alex and doesnt diserve his role:)


message 75: by Cat (new) - rated it 5 stars

Cat @Asser and Reem

Ha! Alex Pettyfer even says hmself he's too old to be playing a teenager. (for City of Bones, Jace) Why does everyone love that guy so much? Yeah, he's cute, but he's f-ing overrated.


message 76: by Reem (new) - rated it 5 stars

Reem to all the AP fans,

Alex said he was to old to play teenager so sucked in losers:)


Asser @Catherine and Reem

I like you two already! I thought I was the only one who noticed that Alex Pettyfer always being present in so many discussions. I'm wondering that myself why everyone loves him.


message 78: by Reem (new) - rated it 5 stars

Reem @ Asser

welcome to the Alex P hate club!


Karina Zourik Alex Pettyfer can pretty much play every hot guy from every book, examples:
Julian - Delirium
Four (if he dyes his hair) - Divergent
Peeta (though thats already taken, obvs) - Hunger Games
Jace - The Mortal Instruments
Newt - Mazerunner
Peris - Uglies
Too bad he doesnt want to play teenage roles, cause he can seriously pull it off... :/

sid No no no no no I disagree with you Karina, I HATE alex pettyfer he is too overrated, and doesn't fit the characters at all, that you just named


message 81: by Reem (new) - rated it 5 stars

Reem @sidra
you just became one of my best friends. I hate Alex P


message 82: by sid (new) - rated it 5 stars

sid hahahah awesome
I will never understand why people like him so much O.o


Daisy97 Zajicek Everyone, Alex Pettyfer is a terrible actor so I wouldn't want him playing my favorite characters. He would ruin them! He is very good looking. But looks aren't everything. People only like him for his looks, that's all he ever will be, a pretty face. I'm glad he's done with teenage roles.


Saachi Okay, don't get me wrong, I love Delirium and Pandemonium and CAN'T WAIT for Requiem, but I feel like the movie isn't going to be all that great, because you won't be able to understand Lena's internal conflicts, and her connection with Alex. Nevertheless, I'm definitely going to watch the movie when it releases.


message 85: by Reem (new) - rated it 5 stars

Reem Daisy you r my next best friend too! to see why check the older messages from me!


message 86: by sid (new) - rated it 5 stars

sid yes, what Saachi says. i totally agree with that.
and is it really a must to make a movie out of every popular book :s
some books are better off without movies.


Daisy97 Zajicek Reem wrote: "Daisy you r my next best friend too! to see why check the older messages from me!"

Yeah, Reem, you're right all the way. My whole family hates him. He's terrible.


message 88: by Cat (new) - rated it 5 stars

Cat @Reem, Asser, Saachi, Sidrah, Daisy97

Whooo hooo!!! Seriously, I love it when people agree with me. AP is just a pretty face, I thought everyone knew that, he's not such a good actor... which reminds me it's ironic how they picked him to play Kyle Kingsley in Beastly because he was all ugly, but people still liked him. Actually, I liked him better as the ugly beast. But he is NOT right for Alex Sheathes, and for that matter, not right for teenager roles, cuz he's right, he's an adult now.


Heather Super excited! While she is probably too old for the character, I keep seeing Blake Lively as the character of Hana. Because this image is so strong in my head already, I think I am going to be annoyed by whomever they choose. Hopefully, I will be able to accept another actor in that role okay...lol!


Don't_Trot_and_Text I am so excited!!! My favorite thing to do is make all my friends read books that are going to be movies before seeing the movie. It's kind of like a tradition, going to the theaters to see our current favorite book being brought to life on the big screen! Can't wait to start harassing my friends to read Delirium before we see the movie! *giggles in an evil tone* just kidding!

There's a group chat on people making their dream casts of Delirium and at least 50% of the people there are contaminated with the AP disease. Oh, but I found some AP haters there, too.


Biancz Noveno As what Oliver lauren posted on tumblr, delirium will be streamed as a TV series. Read it in here.

Yeah but that means a tv show has a different pacing. Delirium's whole plot is cover in the first episode the series. According to tv bloggers who got an early read of it.
And Lena's mom in the books is rewrote to her dad in the show.

And Alex has a love interest in the plot that isn't Lena, but she likes him and he isnt aware.
