Cirque du Freak

so...the brother who didn't screw up the Golden Compass franchise?

 

Bumping this cause I just found out the movie was official, and did a search for it before I made one.


I'm very excited for this. I loved the books, there was only one I didn't care for. Other than that they were a an easy and intriqing read, there were just so many times that Shan could of gone darker and more mature in the writing, that I think would of made the books better.

 

Salma with beard:

 

Wow...still hot.

 

I haven't read any novel from the series, but it's intriguing. There isn't much known about the film.

 

...and still with a horrible accent.

 

Sounds kind of interesting.

 

I loved in Shadow of the Vampire when Willem Dafoe would try to bite someone, and John Malcovich would yell the s*** out of him and put him in check.

 

awesome, who is he going to play?

i'm a huge fan of the series.

 

William is always welcome in any film. Cameo appearance by Goblin, perhaps? t:

 

damn i was thinking Ms. Hayek will become an another type of freak. oh well, i don't know about the books, but this sounds interesting.

 

Dafoe is playing Gavner Purl

 

Who is Orlando Jones playing?

 

she still looks stangely attractive even with the beard

 

I'd still hit it.

 

holy crap!

 

I have Yet to read the last 2 books in this series and it's been far to long since I read the Other ones I'm think I'm going to have to start over. Anyway I heard that the 1st Movie will be based on the 1st 3 books

Which if I pull them all out right now are

The 1st book Cirque Du Freak (A Living Nightmare)
The Vampire's Assistant
and Tunnels of Blood.

Sound be interesting to see if this does well maybe we will get more movie if not well who knows we will have to wait and see.

 

The first one itself could be a stand alone film. I wonder if the film is going to feel rushed since they're squeezing 3 books into it.

 

yeah i'm kind worried it will be rushed, the first one could definitely be a stand alone film, and if they don't try to squeeze anything in then the 2nd and 3rd could possibly be made into one movie. the 2nd is more dramatic while the 3rd has a little more action.

 

John C. Reilly is playing a vampire?




I'm sure he will be good, I'm just struggling with the picture in my mind of the man who played Dewey Cox becoming a creature of the night.

 

I have my reservations on that one, but i won't completely doubt him, i've been proven wrong before. but he really really doesn't seem to have any physical quality of Larten Crepsley. Larten is an old, creepy man while reilly...he just makes you smile

but like i said i've been proven wrong before

 

I just hope he gets Crepsley right. It's going to be hard not to picture hims singing that "Walk Hard" song in this movie.

 

i was thinking defoe would've been great for crepsley. he will make a great purl though too.
