The Cirque du Freak movie trailer is available online! Read the books if you haven’t yet – they’re a little creepy, sorta scary and all-around exciting!  The first book tells the story of a guy who gets tickets to a “Cirque du Freak” (basically, a freakshow) with all kinds of gross, scary, and weird acts – and before he knows it, he’s more…well, involved than he ever intended.

Naomi & Ely’s No Kiss List

Posted by liz on November 15, 2008

Well, after the Twilight movie comes out on November 21,  which movie-based-on-a-book are you going to be eagerly waiting for?

Naomi and Ely’s No-Kiss List – w
ritten by the same team as  (link:http://www.countyteens.com/?p=461) Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist  Rachel Cohn and David Levithan.

If you haven’t read the book yet, here’s the basics: (borrowed from the official site – http://www.randomhouse.com/teens/nokisslist/ )

Naomi and Ely are best friends. Naomi loves and is in love with Ely, and Ely loves Naomi, but prefers to be in love with boys.

 

So they create their “No Kiss List” of people neither of them is allowed to kiss. And this works fine – until Bruce. Bruce is Naomi’s boyfriend, so there’s no reason to put him on the List. But Ely kissed Bruce even though he is boring. The result: a rift of universal proportions and the potential end of “Naomi and Ely: The Institution.”

 

 

 

They’ve just announced that http://www.movieweb.com/news/NEPFcUUQd4RPTW Hayden Panettiere, from Heroes, will be Naomi… any guesses about who’ll play Ely?

We’ve got Naomi & Ely’s No Kiss List (the book) so stop in and check it out before the movie comes out!

City of Ember info!

Posted by liz on June 4, 2008

This is pretty cool.  Some info from Amber Baynor
Official Ambassador to the City of Ember movie!
Two of the pictures below are completely exclusive!

One: Click Here

Lina Mayfleet (Saoirse Ronan, Atonement) with the “Instructions of Egress” that unlocks the mystery to finding a way out of the City of Ember.

Two: Click Here
Gives you a good idea about the set design– Martin Laing (Titanic, Pearl Harbor) really give the movie an epic and unique post-apocalyptic aesthetic.  Another tidbit, it was filmed in a former paint hall in Belfast, Ireland’s Titanic Quarter.  Other filming sites included Englands, Romania, Prague and Berlin.

Three: Click Here

Bill Murray plays Mayor Cole; i’m really looking forward to his work in this film!  He has such great comic timing, and i’m sure he’ll do well to make this film good for all audiences, young and old.

Also, some other great features to point out is the screenwriter, Caroline Thompson.  She adapted the original book by Jeanne Duprau, and has written other notable screenplays such as The Nightmare Before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands.

Definitely check out the official website for the trailer.
