The first book in the GONE Series
According to HIRAC DELEST as of August 2009, Michael Grant has confirmed that there has been a lot of talk about a movie or TV series about his novels (the GONE Series: GONE, HUNGER, and LIES). Grant, who was co-writer of the late 90′s hit TV series Animorphs, says that many people are interested in the project, but the search for investors seems to be the big issue. He has promised to keep fans posted via Twitter (http://twitter.com/thefayz).
If you haven’t read/heard about GONE, click here to see a trailer for the first book GONE, or here to see a trailer for the third book LIES (it sums up the first 3 books nicely, without giving too much away). Both videos were created by HarperTeen.
I think Michael has said that a tv show would be most likely. That’s what I would prefer. That way it could get every little thing onto the screen without making multiple movies.
Hi, thanks for the link back to my blog post. But I just wanted to clarify that the site name is HIRAC DELEST. The full site (attached with the blog) can be seen at http://www.hiracdelest.com/status.htm
it would be a good movie or tv show they just can’t mess up the special effects or the characters
I would absolutely LOVE a movie. I think a series would really just drag on and no big secrets would really come out until the first season ends. Im currently on the 1st book and I’m hooked!!! But if a movie really might be coming out, i hope they don’t change ANYTHING!!! I mean, let’s be realistic, not word for word, but the major events shouldn’t reaaly be tampered with, and even some smaller events. I want the movie to take off lik Harry Potter and Twilight did (and still are). Not like Percy Jackson did and almost everyone hated the way they completely changed it from the book. All of those are GREAT book series and should remain GREAT when they make it to the big screen!
OMG!!! i am addicticed to these books! I would be at the first showing at midnight to see is! I think it would also be pretty cool as a tv series too. I am SOOOOO telling all of my friends tomorrow because when i read it, i told them that they had to read the book. They will probably be excited.
Well, I will have to give some good luck to Micheal Grant. Oh, and by the way, let me know it you need any help getting it produced. That would be awesome. And i really like to write a lot.
P.S- PLEASE try to make sam play the guy from the cover of the book. He is SO hot. <3
I am in love with this series!! i would love for it to become a movie not a tv series like someone said it would just drag on too long and what if it gets canceled. a movie is waayyy better you could get a bigger fan base. I too hope sam is played by the guy on the cover or Codley Linley
I think a t.v. series would be better, because then we could see the whole book. Also because then it wouldn’t be over in two hours, it would keep going and going. The book has all the values of a t.v. series like all of its suspense and the different points of view that you see a lot of in t.v. series. I think it would just not make it as far as a movie because then there will be multible movies and they will be forced to leave out somethings and i want every detail if not more which would be accomplished easier in a t.v. series.
The guy from the cover probably isn’t a good actor, probably just a model or something. Plus he looks really constipated lol. no offense.
I just finished the last book “Plague” and it was great. I think that if this series were to be made into a movie it would be great. But if they try and squeeze all the books into one movie it would take out important information and the movie wouldn’t be as good.
i would love it to be all five books(for thoughs who dont know, there is another book named fear coming out in april) i hope that this goes through. i was so disapointed in the percy jackson movie, so hopefully it turns out to be good and not a train wreck worse than madona. i love the books so better be good thanks. hasta la pasta!!!B-)
I love the series. I don’t care if it’s movie or series but I think Sam should totally be played by Chace Crawford from Gossip Girl. Fingers crossed it will be made into something
Logan Lerman for Quinn
I think a GONE series would be much better also, cause then we will have something to look forward to evey week ! BTW, I LOVE the GONE series!!!
PLEASE MAKE A MOVIE….. BETTER YET MOVIE SERIES!!! the books are amazing and right now am on plague…. i couldnt get it for a while so ya….. any ya i would love a movie tht didnt change much from the book
I would absolutely love for the series to be made into either multiple movies or into a t.v. show.(For those of you that don’t know a sixth book called Light is being made and it’s going to end the series). I’ve read the 5 books and I think they’re incredible! If a movie were to be made it had better be good and follow closely to the book. A t.v. show would work well too because audiences would have something to look forward to each week. Either way, whatever is made I hope it does the books justice.
Just finished Fear yesterday. Yes….I was wondering if there was going to be another book. Thank you Lindsey. I let my imagine end the story but to keep the story going in another book is so much better. Oh yea definite movie – if the industry can make a movie of vampires and werewolves, then most definite the “GONE SERIES”. The true struggle of mankind between good and evil. I originally bought the series for my son (its so hard to find books for boys) and started reading it and fell in love with the series. Bring it to the screen and leave absolutely NOTHING out!
DO NOT DO A TV SHOW! that would be like haveing a tv show 4 twilight. no. that is not right! u should ABSOLUTLEY do a movie tho!
I think it should be a tv show. that way they can have everything from the books. if it were a movie they would take things out, and you cant do that with these books
i am OBSESSED with the gone series and i would faint if there was a movie coming out! i was very excited to hear that there may be a movie and that there is another and final book to the gone series-light-that will be coming out in march of 2013!!
well, for the movie, i do agree 100% that sam on the cover should play sam in the movie as for the fact that he is EXTREMELY sexy! and that logan lerman should indeed play caine! that would be the best movie in the whole WORLD! and i would pay 1 000 000 000 $ to watch the movie!
i think a tv show would be best to fit every detail into it. the books were really good so i think a show would help it become a lot more popular
I love this series I think it would be an amazing movie! Did you say 2013? Because that is when Maximum ride series movie comes out! O hey that reminds me the last book is in august. I love that series this series and of coarse maze runner! Anyone ever herd of those books? If you haven’t GO READ THEM NOW! This isn’t a suggestion, just read them!
I LOVE these books amazing so good I read one in about a day
