  • LMAO at mogget omg

  • I lol'd when I saw maggot

  • to głupi wycinki harrego pottera i wyznania gejszy o ludzie ogranijcie sie

  • When i met with Garth nix last year at voices on the Coast, in which I got my copies of Sabriel, Lord Sunday and a piece of paper (compared to someone else who got him to sign 8 books, a piece of paper and a shopping bag which he carried the books in), Garth said that he didn't want to make the books into a movie until he found a good company to make it! Thank GOD! I would cry if he let them make a movie of Sabriel (a great idea) only to have them stuff it up! Garth Nix rocks!

  • I sincerely hope Garth Nix never sells his soul to the film making corporation. Look at Harry Potter. Look at The Golden Compass. Look at Narnia. They're RUBBISH. Resist the money temptation!

  • The whining about Sabriel being Asian is stupid. How the f do you know she's not Asian? It's never mentioned whether she is or isn't. The "default" race isn't white if it isn't mentioned. Are you Garth Nix? So shut up.

    In any case, if Garth Nix HAD made it clear that Sabriel was Caucasian, so what? It's not like races of characters haven't been switched around in movies before. Look at The Last Airbender for f's sake. Or is it only bad to do that when a "white" character is made another race?

  • @DisreputableB1tch Thankyou!! my thoughts exactly xx

  • @EtherealChannel Ha, glad someone agrees. Sheesh, seriously, I don't care if they get a purple actress to play her, as long as she fits the part and they make an awesome movie out of it.

    I inwardly squee every time I see a fanmade trailer for this trilogy. I might not be able to keep it in if/when I see a real one.

    PS, love the trailer, very well done :)

  • I REALLY HOPE THEY DO NOT MAKE A MOVIE!! now, don't vote me down yet... There have been many times where a really bad movie messes up a really good book... look at Eragon! Worst remake ever! Then there are times where the movie is good but still ruins the book. I used to like twilight but when the movie came out, the acting sucked and they cut the best scene! But vampire teen fan girls don't care! They're too busy spending money on teeshirts with Robert pattinson's face on it! Does no one agree?

  • @LovableChaos i know how you feel.....

  • haha nice blend of stuff, and even though she's not asian, that's probably the only movie where you could of gotten what you needed for this from. nice work :)

  • God damnit sabriel is not Asian

  • that was amazing. But sabriel is not an asian girl

  • WOW! Magic trailer!

  • I'm reading sabriel, it's really boring, but now I got to page 170 it's getting interesting out of 400 pages XD I have to read this book in a day that's true

  • That was pretty awesome (like the music) but Sabriel just isn't asian. Also Mogget should not have long hair.

  • That was pretty awesome (like the music) but Sabriel just isn't asian.

  • A tv series would be nice as Legend of the seeker is off. Great books.

  • AHAHAHA you had to use requiem for a dream as the music to make it epic :L

  • you had done the great job !!! I realy wanna sabriel become to movie!

  • Sabriel should have a strong accent.. cant imagine her Asian sorry its a boarding school all girls kindof english is it not?? plus the way Nick Sayre speaks in the book Abhorsen gives you the allusion of it..

  • shouldn't sabriel be Australian?

  • Wow I like. Except I never saw Sabriel as Chinese. More like a British schoolgirl. Being that Garth Nix is Australian (Like me) I always pictured her as someone in our catholic school uniform.

  • dude shes not asian

  • Look at the front cover of the book, not asian lol. Or the cover of lirael/abhorsen since the relation. It just wouldn't work in my opinion. Furthermore the name itself is derived from old english names, primarily Gabriel.

  • I thought this was actually real till i read the comments. would be an epic movie though

  • u didnt notice that there were scenes from harry potter and lord of the rings there? not to mention other famous movies?

  • @prototypep4 The Lord of the rings i noticed but i was to absorbed into it to notice + i don't watch Harry Potter. =D

  • augh, i WISH they would make sabriel into a movie. How cool would it be if Hayao Miyazaki got ahold of the movie rights? xD

  • Absolutely terrible, while i do like his work and respect him i the film industry. I don't believe he could reproduce the moroseness that is evident in the book. Shouldn't be a happy go lucky book, but one that hinges on mystery and the dark atmosphere of the book.

  • yea, that is true. idk, i'd just be happy if they made into a movie (without completely butchering it ofcourse)

  • Good point, no matter who made the movie, if it was good i would be very happy.

  • wat i realy dont get is why people who make a book into a movie need to change it at all. the script scenes characters and absolutly everything is already there in the book all they need to do is hire actors who fit the characters and bring it to life. i hate how movies based on books never are good. i personally dont care if a movie goes for 3 and a half hours as long as it brings the book to life im fucking leaping over the moon happy. whos with me?

  • @greenbeanie27 :O I would see that movie 100000000000000 times and buy 100000000000 copies of the SE thats how godly it would be

  • @greenbeanie27 apparently Garth Nix is currently writing the screenplay ^_^

  • @95salutations omg. really? YES!!!!! *dies* (you just made my day thank you) >w<

  • @greenbeanie27 :D you're welcome

  • @greenbeanie27 Oh god I thought the very same thing. Studio Ghibli would do a fantastic job of Sabriel.

  • @greenbeanie27: A Miyazaki Sabriel would be absolutely incredible. While Miyazaki makes predominantly family-oriented films, he has a particular way with darkness that unnerves me at 21 years of age.

    That said, this particular trailer was underwhelming. The footage choices were pretty obvious, the music is way overused and ultimately it never told us what the story is really about.

  • You suck

  • wow, you did a REALLY good job of this.

  • I too was really surprised by how much I liked this. Good job!

  • I was surprised at how much I liked this, actually XD; I don't expect much from fanmade trailers (no offense!) but I thought this one was really quite good ^_^

  • urghhhhhhh :@ i thought it would be real!

  • Why does everyone feel the need to use this music for every fan made trailer. Gets pretty tiring.

  • I got super excited until I saw Viktor Krumm from Harry Potter then I was like WTF! and then when I saw him again I was like bullSHIT!!!

    but you are pretty good at making movie trailers.

  • Jerk lol you got me all excited for a second there.. I love the books...

  • BULLSHIT

  • This movie looks EPIC I've read the book so I know what I'm talkin about. :D

  • @Crambo92

    sorry, this was a fanmade trailer :(

  • best seller is spelt wrong at the start, and im pretty sure thats harry potter, geisha and lord of the rings meets Sabriel in a fist fight, except sabriel has bells and sends them all beyond the last gate

  • Oh my god.

    This is the best one ive seen.

    The captions music and everything is great.

    I never pictured Ziyi as Sabriel... but it worked!

    Awesome job. I can't wait foir them to really make it into a film!

  • awesome, i love mogget!

  • the old kingdom series should be mad into a movie...

  • I agree... as long as it's made by a good director that wno't ruin the story.

  • 4/5 only because its an awsome book

  • Sabriel looks chinese... but I suppose you chose the Geisha because of the skin and hair...

    But I like Mogget. Funny.

    And Touchstone is Victor Krum? ROFL

  • OMG I would LOVE it if they came out with movies for the books. They toatlly should. Awesome trailer btw.

  • I really love the whole Old Kingdom series. I think I've read the while series at least 4 times. This is an awesome fan-made trailer. It should be made into a movie.

  • wth?

  • Sabriel isn't Asian. Try again.

  • That was great! Hope the movie meets your fake trailers expectations =]

  • Someone has to make Sabriel into a movie. Or an anime, so I can be even more of a dork. ^^

  • Victor Krum, haha

  • i like how they used the memoirs of a geisha as the final pic

  • Though I didn't picture Sabriel being 100% Asian, I could see it maybe. The cover of the book is kind of hard to tell what her nationality is. I would go for it though. This is my favorite trailer out of all of them. I love it. I wish there was a movie coming out....the only thing this trailer couldn't sell me on was a fluffy mogget! haha But its an awesome trailer!

  • I always pictured mogget as fluffy, does it say he's short haired ? Funny how you picture things isn't it? :D

  • Same here coulsnt picture a mogget as fluffy, a free magic being despite being bound should show power.

  • COOL

  • Wow. Spectacular use of the music and perfect imagery. Well done.

  • Wow, now i want to see the movie get made:P

    XX

  • you could actually fall for this as a trailer ur very good ^_^

  • Very very good.

  • I eish they would make this into a movie. with the right actors and effects it would be very intense.

  • I don't know why someone doesnt make a movie. It is such an awesome series.

  • i loved the book didnt no there was a movie

  • nice work on the editing...you show a lot of what needs to be in a real Sabriel movie.......I was thinking what if someone make an Abhorsen anime....that' will be interesting...I'll watch it for sure cause like everyone here I love the books

  • really nice video though I dont know if making a real movie out of the book will be a good idea.......yeah..random...sorr­y. great vid. i love the cat.

  • the guys who did LOTR should attempt for this movie......Garth Nix is very picky as to who he lets turn his book into a movie......

    not like other authors who will pick anyone to have more money

  • I think Peter Jackson could direct the Abhorsen trilogy...i'll be close to lord of the rings in style but we all love epic stuff right

  • That is good, but I don't imagine Sabriel being asian.

  • i know, isn't she supposed to be british?

    it was an awesome book, i hope they don't suckify it.

  • same here...she is definitely british will at lease in my head she is....

  • Great!!! I loved it, good job!

  • I could really get a feel from the movie from that. Nice job. The use of the cat and also the lord of the rings "Balrog" was great.

  • really good, one of the best fan trailers i've seen, its refreshing to see moving images, i hate it when people just use sstills

  • Lol. And I was thinking throughout the time that I was reading the book pleading that they will never choose Zhang Zi Yi for the role. Lol.

  • lol the talking cat

  • I doubt it. I liked it myself. Maybe a better version of Moget would be good, I can't imagine him being fluffy

  • lol the cat is from Cats & Dogs XD

  • Garth Nix said they are working on putting it together. Look up his blogs. They arent filming yet, but they should soon. takes a long time to get everything ready if you want to make a good movie. It took 4-5 years of work before Star Wars 3 was filmed, and even longer for LOTR.

  • All the new star wars nedded about 5 more years each plus a new actor to play anakin.

  • I think this is the best fan made Sabriel movie trailer I found on Youtube

  • thats why it "LCearly" says "fan made"

  • what the hell is wrong with u - it's a fan trailer, if u were a real fan of garth nix, u would have known that they are no where near ready to film sabriel let alone have a trailer ready. so if u dont want to watch, what i consider a good fan trailer, then dont, stop being an ass, it was clearly labled as a fan trailer not an official one

  • Woo. I just want to see an actress. The paperback cover did no justice to my imagination and I kept thinking Sabriel as a man. Let's hope there is a movie coming out. ;DD

  • haha yeah I always thought she looked like a man on the cover too

  • Yes, Sabriel doesn't need to be some 85 pound model actress, but a tough looking exotic chick, anything but white or mexican or black.. with pale skin,, and i'd be happy. i reall hope they don't water down the novel on the switch to film, and keep it r rated

  • i like that but the cat that is ment to be mogget is the same cat from stuart little 1&2

  • no duh.....

  • Awesome trailer! I'm re-reading Sabriel just now and I've been thinking a lot about how it would make a great movie. I'd love to direct it so that it would turn out the way I imagine it, sometimes films don't do the book justice.

    Good job!

  • sometimes movies dont give books justice because of budget or time restrictions. or other explicit reasons only described in books.

  • garth nix is rich out the ass

  • what is the music/soundtrack to this trailer called? or from where did you get it if you don't know the tittle?

  • Description!

  • yeh!! shes asian!!! woohoo!!!

  • WHY is there clips of Harry Potter and LOTR mixed in? Is this a mock-up?

  • Um Yes that's why it's a fan vid

  • I'm liking the clip for the river of Death.

    Nice.

  • that was really good. the clips fit in super great and the music good and dramatic! :)

  • this was very good, there should be movies of the trilogy

  • i'm sorry moggot is white the white on at the end is kerrigor

  • i didnt think this video was all that bad actually, good work

    and let me make sure of something...

    there IS only 3 books in the series aint they?

    Sabriel...Liriel...& Abhorsen...

  • There's a fourth one, I think. Called "Over the Wall." I haven't read it. I think it's about Sam's friend...

  • oh behave!

    i already have to by three more books to go wth the symphony of the ages triogy by elizabeth haydon...

    yes i sound cool here

    lmao

    8-)

  • there isnt a fourth book yet. ur talking about 'Across the WAll', which is a collection of short stories by garth nix, and yes, one of them involves sam's friend Nick

    regarding the fourth book, the prequel to sabriel is coming out in 2010 (Clariel, the Lost Abhorsen), and the sequel to Abhotrsen is still nameless, but will come out in 2011 apparently

  • wasnt the prequel to sabriel abhorsen?

  • um... not sure of ur question

    Sabriel was the first book written in the series. Lirael is the sequel to Sabriel and Abhorsen is the sequel to Lirael.

    btw, a prequel is not the opposite of a sequel. a prequel usually means that the book came after the first book, but hte events in the prequel take place before the events int he first book. for example, Clariel the Lost Abhorsen takes place 320 years before Sabriel, but it will be published a lot later than Sabriel

  • lol sorry

    just one of my smart moments

    haha

    so this is coming after abhorsen?

    i aint countin the stupid one with nicks friend lol

  • no there hasnt been a prequel to any of the old kingdom series. the 1st book is sabriel, th 2nd is lirael, the 3rd is abhorson and the 4th was a short story about nick called the creature in the case for world book day.

  • ah yes but there will be a prequil about Chlor of the Mask in 2010 called "The Lost Abhorsen" and there has been talk of a movie of Sabriel. The pitch has been spun and we will see the results in like 5 years if we're lucky!

  • NO PLEASE NO

    if the real movie does come out - if its anything like this fan trailer - it will ruin everything. Mogget is WAY TOO fluffy, and this video just ruined my imagination of sabriel.

  • well then ur imagination sucks don't it?

  • hmm...my immagination sucks...

    so after reading sabriel u immagined mogget like that?? are you sure its my immagination that sucks?

  • well the mogget used in this is the cat from stuart little afterall...

    its not exactly gunna be spot on is it

  • thats true...

    well, i suppose it /is/ only a fan trailer after all...

  • you loser. XD

  • This was the best fan-made trailer I've seen.

    You didn't over do it or try to be too dramatic.:)

  • I never pictured Sabriel as asian, but it wouldn't bug me too much. Hopefully they make the real movie soon!

  • MOGGET! Oh I love Mogget!

    Not a bad teaser. Good job finding footage that worked.

  • I have to say I didnt picture Sabriel asian...But this is a good trailer..still I really didnt picture her asian...I have read the first 3 books and they were absolutly great!

  • she isn't aisian

  • Why does everyone see Sabriel as asian...?

  • I don't think they do, I only put in Ziyi cos it was hard to find clips with a black-haired actress which had clothes and background to match, if you get me.

  • they don't

  • "Pretty good?" Are you kidding? This vid is a mixture of "Cats and Dogs," "Harry Potter," "Lord Of The Rings" and "Memoirs OF A Geisha." Worst fan film EVAR!

    but ye, when the movie comes out, it'll be great. This trilogy is fantastic AND original.

  • Read the description you moron *eye roll*

  • Curses! My badass attitude is foiled again! pml

  • pretty good, although I don't think sabriel was asian. Can't wait for the real trailer and movie :)

  • Lol that was good but i never pictured Sabriel being asian. I thought she was a kind of british girl from a kind of british land(Ancelstierre and Old Kingdom)

  • This is really good but its not a real trailer.

    There was talk a few months ago about a possible sabriel film. They were 'pitching' the idea or something.

    So keep fingers crossed

    xx

  • It was great :) im trying to get my hands on the third book now.

  • I'm assuming the guy who plays Krum is Rogirek? Good video

  • LOL. that was good. I wish they'd make a movie.

  • omg i got so excite at first because i thought the film was really out. then i realised it was other film clips =D is that victor krumm? haha love it

  • I've been looking to see if there's any trailers for the sabriel movie for ages =/ it was suppose to be released uhh around this time! and if these are the only things i can find that must mean its been dramatically postponed... It will be a damn good movie though... if anyone finds a REAL trailer let me know ;)

  • BTW, in a recent interview nix let loose that there would be a film off of the books. :) Happy me.

  • i REALLY hope they make a movie of it!

  • Elle1Tree--sabriel has black hair and pale skin, the clayrs have blond hair. great music though, i agree.

  • Hmm perhaps we're not thinking of the same book cover, but Nix does describe Sabriel as dark-haired and pale (I remember because it felt kind of poetic). I had a link to the first page where it describes her but it wouldn't fit in the box--it's easy to track it down via Amazon. However, 'to each their own:' the point of literature is to inspire so I doubt Nix would ever seriously care whatever hair color we picture his heroin has-the story is still just as engaging.

  • what's the music?

  • Meh, In everywhere except america its the Old Kingdom Trilogy :) (Whupass)

  • omg.. they make movies of that stuff? :O i wanna see them!!!

  • Isn't it called the old kingdom "Trilogy" ? They would have to rename it to a quartet or something wouldn't they?

  • it's actually called the Abhorsen Trilogy

  • yes, it is

  • no, its a trilogy, im prety sure....theres an extra book that has some of the characters but its not part of the trilogy....ugh i 4get the name of it sorry

  • It's called the creature in the case...it's set after abhorsen. features nick and lerael

  • It's called the Old Kingdom SERIES becuase Nix signed a deal for two additional books, a prequel and a sequel.

    One I think should deal with Chlorr, because Mogget let slip that she used to be an Abhorsen. One of the working titles has something to do with a 'lost Abhorsen.'

  • Clariel: The Lost Abhorsen

  • wats taht a sequel?!? i have to read it

  • they're making a 4 book on the Old Kingdom series. It's something called "Clayr: the Lost Abhorsen"

  • I so think they should make a movie too but I didn't like across the wall so they hopefully wont make a movie out of that

  • across the wall was a collection of short stories, some unrelated to the Old Kingdom, so it probably would not be made as a movie.

  • If they do choose to make movies out of the Old Kingdom Trilogy, I hope they keep it as accurate as possible to the books.

  • did you read lirael and abhorsen? their awesome! but i hate across the wall...and i hope an actual movie will be made lol

  • That did fit in REALLY well. Touchstone, Sabriel, Mogget..

    Now all we need is the Book of the Dead..

    I think my history book is somwehere..

    JK...But great job

  • dunno about you but i imagined mogget as one of those siamese cats you know?

  • lol sorry you are wrong yes the first one is about chlorr and how she is the lost abhorsen ,but the next is named...can't tell you the name at he moment, but anyway the creature in the case was only a novela he just made it for fun
