depressingly hard

it's going to make like 45 million worldwide

So is this basically the kid that Harry Potter made fun of and shoved into a locker?

THE POSTER LEADS ME TO SUSPECT THIS WILL BE GOOD IN 3D

ARE THEY RELEASING IT IN 3D?

How are they going to portray the /ss/ on screen?

Probably about as much as it deserves to. The books were irrelevant too.

I honestly forgot what the books were even about.
Fairies with guns were the only thing that I could remember

I had no internet for a few weeks and I went back and reread all the books, books take a dip in quality after the third one which is the opposite of how the harry potter books ended up. As hacky as they were they stayed as good or arguably got better as the series went on.

He's a billionaire child genius who has a bodyguard that was trained by the best assassins in the world and for some reason he's obsessed with magic and manages to prove that elves and faries and pixies are real and he steals a bunch of their fairy gold and the fairies get pissed and hijinks ensue. And at one point Artemis goes forward in time and fucks a fairy, but that doesn't happen until book 5 iirc

i enjoyed the books as a kid. i reread the first one last year and it didn't hold up like some other YA novels do but it wasn't bad. the movie is guaranteed to be garbage. ender's game is a better child prodigy YA novel that's about as filmable, and its movie was terrible.

>The GOAT YA series got derailed because of a shitty on set accident
It could have ended so much better.

they only made one movie user, there is no series. "the skarch" was a non-canon comedy spinoff.

Well that one movie was pretty good. No Mary Sues, no bullshit romance. Just bros looking out for their bros.

What happened on maze runner? It just looked shit to me.

But the only cute girl in #1 was chuck

I actually liked the Percy Jackson series, not really sure what they were thinking with those two movies but the books were pretty great

I remember there was a little cryptographic code on the bottom of every page of the book and the publishers said that any kid who could crack the code and translate it would get a bit part in the Artemis Fowl movie

That was like 15 years ago. I wonder if anyone ever did and if that person will be in the movie.

Wasn't the code literally just wingdings and then they had a translation page at the end of the book? Colfer would have had to put thousands of people in bit parts kek

The Percy Jackson movies were Mortal Kombat tier disgraces. The books sold well and the first movie came out around the time of the 5th book (I think) and they had plenty of material to use for a franchise but they made the shittiest possible adaption in history, and while I really like Daddrio they needed slightly younger actors especially when these fucking 13-14 year olds all look like they’re in their mid-20s.

mortal kombat 1 was a masterpiece though.

>The Percy Jackson movies were Mortal Kombat tier disgraces
They really were, I remember they convinced Brosnan to do the first one and after he watched it in post production he noped the fuck out and they had to replace him in the second one and pretend like he never existed.

Dadarrio never showing off her tits was a crime in and of itself

More like Fartemis Foul as in a foul smell hahaha what do you think it would smell like lol?

STILL HOT THO WITH HER LASER EYES

PERCY FUCKED HER LMAO

SEEMS TO HAPPEN A LOT ON THESE SETS

This... wait does this happen?

No it wasn’t and Paul W.S. Anderson is a hack. He fucked up so many of the characters, from turning Scorpion and Bi-Han into literal lackies and making Raiden into a massive pussy. The worst though was turing Kano, a martial arts ball busting badass, into a generic Australian for no reason to where every game now casts him as an Aussie. Fuck that movie.

He didn't fuck up the characters because they weren't even characters beforehand. Resident Evil was a better example of canon-raping but thats still a perfectly enjoyable, well made flick. The rest are fun-terrible and exist just to let milla pretend to be an actress.

>And at one point Artemis goes forward in time and fucks a fairy

Yeah i would too

Yes. Kid discovers Fairies are real. He then kidnaps one and holds her for ransom.

I mean the time travel booty call. Does that legit happen

I don't remember that but I can't get through the last book.

It's gonna be the bomb of the year. Probably even bigger than the new terminator one.

I don’t know about that. At least I know this is coming out. I completely forgot they were even making a new terminator.
