Point Blanc Movie: 2 merged topics

[marybeth.hp7]

Let's please have no more talk of Alex Pettyfer being Alex Rider again- he' way too old (19) and at 5' 11" , I don't think he'll pass for a 14 year old boy. And besides that he's just finished another movie that's coming out next summer -"Beastly" in Montreal .
There must be other kids around the ages of 12-14 years so that you can get 2 movies out of them per se.

ummmmmmmm....yea. finally! someone who sees sense! who AGREES that AP is way too old for the role of alex!  thanks!

[marybeth.hp7]

you're welcome! Aren't there any other ideas besides AP?

[stewie]

The link doesn't work hun.

i think thats a major problem with making books into films, because the actors start to age too quickly, especially teens, etc, cos puberty can hit them hard and they just shoot up quick.
anyone remember when they said daniel radcliff was only going to do the first 4 movies?

[DilanMelis]

Oh, with Pettyfer, they were never planning on using him in more than one film.

they really should make a movie of point blanc because the book was really awesome

[AlexRider:Afterwards]

I think that they should definitely make another movie.  the first one could have been a huge hit if they would have just advertised it better and stuff.  It didn't even come out in theaters where I live and there are like 6 theaters.  did it come out in theaters anywhere in the US?  I think that if they made it seem like a big deal and get everyone all hyped up about it like Harry Potter, Twilight, etc. did then it would become a huge hit because its such a great story with that already has a large fan base.  It would only gain more fans by making a movie and then with each new movie it would get bigger and bigger and snowball into a huge worldwide crazed obsession

Any update on whether there's going to be a second film? They should deffinately make another one as the first one was great! I absoltely love the whole alex rider collection.

Now im seriously getting board waiting and i don't care if they don't have enough money, they would make it if they filmed point blanc

i live in the US but i dont think Stormbreaker was a big hit.  (sorry guys) i didnt ever hear of the movie until i googled it i hope there will be a point blanc movie cuz i liked stormbreaker-no i LOVED it!!!!!

"In the UK the film grossed ?6,783,568 ($9,700,319) and in the US it grossed a total of $652,526, failing to remake the ?25 million ($40 million) spent in production.
After the movie's poor box office performance, plans for a franchise seem to have been dropped."

That's not good , maybe if they made point blanc it would make more than stormbreaker, if they actually advertised it and stuff
