More Movie News!!! Well...kinda...not really

[Duff]

On Michael Grant's blog Stupid Blog Name (http://stupidblogname.com/) he writes "4- Talked to various Hollywood weasels re: ANIMORPHS and GONE.  Results:  blah blah blah, we respect your work, blah blah blah."

So we can ascertain that they are at least still talking about an Animorphs movie! It hasn't been picked up and shelved, it hasn't been given up on. It still hasnt been picked up apparently, but who knows...

Hmm I read that and I figured they we're just bsing with him

[Chad32]

so all we know for now is that there are no definite answeres. I just hope there isn't much adaptation decay. There is bound to be some, but hopefully not a lot.

But some bs is better than no bs

I hate to be a debbie downer but the way he was talking about it sounded more like small talk or something idk.

[EmberGryphon]

It sounded to me like he was earnestly pushing it and getting big smiles and nicely-worded rejections...
But God I love the two of them for still talking about it after all this time. <3

Lots of older, quieter fandoms (GI Joe~) are getting their new, shiny movies. It's Animorphs' turn. >=

Also, that last comment, about the preteen who fell in love with Gone, was sweet. ^^ Yaay for happy parents.

Wow, what a bunch of...well, yea I guess Debbie Downer works...thanks russ

GI Joe is still a new fandom, yea its roots are pretty old but its still putting out new material and movies and action figures

I havent given up hope

ahhhhhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Well, this is somewhat good news.
I want this to happen so badly even if so many other movie adaptations of books I've liked have disappointed me.

[Azguard]

well...the longer it stretches do you think it would be successful if a movie did come out?

i agree, we should all send emails to the movie houses to petition for it. if they refuse, we should send a tiger, a wolf, a gorilla, a bear, and a red-tailed hawk into their offices..

lol Ok, let's do it!! And if even that doesn't work, let's send a Taxxon, an Andalite and a Bug fighter!

I think the difference between the shows and cartoons that are getting renovated for the new generation and Animorphs is that all the other cartoons have a considerable fanbase and most importantly, tons of merchandise. As popular as Animorphs was 10 years ago, they didn't have any kind of merchandising, and there isn't a big fanbase anymore. It's too risky of an investment, and I can understand why producers are apprehensive about it.

What they should really do, is get an animated series going on Cartoon Network. That way, if it turns out to be popular, they would have more of a chance to get producers interested in a movie.

Animorphs had lots of merchandise. The problem was that most of the merchandise was based on the TV Show, which itself, was horribly received by both fans and non-fans alike.
