I dunno Hollywood. I'd love to see you....

Top that.

Well.. as much as I look forward to the outcry by the jesusy folks, wasn't however many years of Charmed torture enough?

Just what we need, more fad wiccans. Like the serious ones aren't bad enough.

Krieghund: a trilogy taking place in a world inhabited by covert witches; one faction is good and the other evil. They are divided by hatred and united by one thing only - fear of a boy descended from both sides.

The great thing about children's fiction is that they don't realize a plot has been done to death. It's the first time THEY have see it.

I still liked How to Train Your Dragon, even if every other kids story is "Akward kids finds his confidence in himself in an unexpected place". It's not the trope, it's how you tel it.

I enjoyed Beautiful Creatures, it had plenty of witches, however, it didn't exactly set the theaters on fire.

I feel like I should just go write some shiat and see if it sticks, because these little farkers are easy pickings.

Just remember that it has to have some form of "monster" in it from classic cinema that's bastardized down to a shell of what it originally was, add glitter, and make it the love interest of some angst-filled teen. Then sit back and watch the accolades and giant sacks with $s on them roll in.

I expect to see this one in film form quite soon:

I dunno, I kind of like watching early morning reruns from some of the later seasons of Charmed. They tend to have a lot of popping nipples, which is always a good way to start the day.

Anyway, I hear a lot of people saying first it was vampires, then zombies, and predicting what will be next... it's kind of a false comparison, since vampires were more popular with young girls, and zombies more popular with 18-35 year old men.  And I don't think the next fad will be witches.... that ship already sailed with Harry Potter.

The utter bomb of "Mars Needs Moms" might push it back a couple years, but I'm going with aliens as the next big thing. Needs a good teen girl/sexy alien boy love story though to catch the attention of tweens everywhere.

Really?  The Underworld movies didn't come out that long ago.  The plot as described is pretty much direct plagiarism, just substituting witches for the other types of traditional supernatural creatures.

And still no farking Ringworld nor The Mote in God's Eye movie, and they're dragging their feet on a half-assed Ender's Game movie.  I don't even want to think about the fact that they've never made the requisite Snow Crash or Neuromancer movies.

Stephanie Meyer is already on it.

Weren't the '90's goth witch movies and books enough to last another century?

I could go for more witches like these:

I'm Jesusy and i don't have any spare farks to give.

Here in east bumblefark the jesusy folks are still up in arms about that rock n roll music the kids listen to nowadays. A gateway to hedonism and loose morals. You know, people that think Axl Rose makes devil music to seduce their tweenage daughters.

Every review I've read so far indicates The Host is somehow worse than all of the Twilight movies combined. I'm amazed that its sheer awfulness hasn't torn a hole in spacetime by now.

I'm waiting for Hollywood to come back around to a Dracula (or better yet, a Blackula) movie, or at least another Blade movie. Wesley Pipes needs the money and he could do some Blade/Blackula mashup movie. Oh and when was the last Frankenstein movie made? If anyone in Hollywood is listening, you know all this stuff would make a profit.

I was hoping it was Wicked ( great book, as is Son of a Witch ) .
Thats okay though. fox= crap.
My idea is keep it as is, so... hbo or showtime remain my only hope.

So, the "paranormal teen romance" already gave use vampires, zombies, witches, aliens, werewolves, angels, immortals, demons and faeries. Are there any supernatural characters left for us, or will I be too late for my time-traveler romance ?

Oh, shiat, it's called "The time traveler's wife".

And I already had a nom-de-plume: Dark McRaven.

The closest thing we'll ever get to Ringworld isa Halo movie, if THAT ever happens

Yes, there are:

It actually looked like a good plot concept. Shame Stephanie Meyers did it instead of a good sci fi writer.

I actually *throws up in mouth a little* read this.

It's Twilight, but with witches and vampires in Oxford doing yoga.

And of course, the vampire is the most perfect beautiful sparkly vampire ever. *gag*

doglover: They really need to do a Granny Weatherwax story on the big screen. I'd say Witches Abroad is what I'd like to see most, but Wyrd Sisters is a better introduction to the characters.

Thing Is "Wyrd Sisters" Is One Of The Weaker Discworld Entries. Also The 90S Cartoon Version Kind Of Sucked.

I don't know if it's Twilight-level because I've never read Twilight. But it is essentially a soap opera. Reminded me of Jacqueline Carey a bit. But with less sex and torture.

Honey, they ain't ready for the underjordiske yet. You always keep the good ones for last.

So Hollywood options an as yet unpublished first novel from an unpublished author? That's one fine press release there by the publisher hoping to God to drum up sales next year.

Krieghund: a trilogy taking place in a world inhabited by covert witches; one faction is good and the other evil. They are divided by hatred and united by one thing only - fear of a boy descended from both sides.

First thing that came to mind for me, nearly verbatim.

...and their human friend is YOU!


Want to get money from gloomy alienated teens? Make a JTHM movie.

The NEXT big thing?

I'll pass. As for the "unpublished" bit, wasn't there a point in the 80s movie studios were optioning and beginning to film movies based on Stephen King novels before they were even in print?
I swear that was the case with Christine.

AppleOptionEsc: It's not the trope, it's how you tel it.

Some things just catch fire at the right moment. Wife has a book out now that has out earned her last ten books put together.

EVERY plot has been done to death.

Wait, why do you think that rock musicians make music if not to get into panties?

How about a reboot of "Bewitched?"

/or "The Munsters?"
