I've thought for a long time that HBO should do this series. (I just don't think a few movies could do it justice.) Would really like to see it one day, but sadly it will probably never even be considered for film.
Lucivar and Daemon are described as having gold skin, and Lucivar is ruggedly handsome while Daemon is beautiful. Other than that, I got some chills from this; your editing was very good.
@SereneBlood True, I can think of very few people good-looking and "catlike" enough to play Daemon. And unfortunately the actor who tops my list as even coming close is no longer with us. (Alas, Brandon Lee, the world barely had a glimpse of your talent.)
You know, this gets me all hyped up wanting a movie to come out but then again...I'm just afraid they're completely butcher the books and ruin the characters as SereneBlood said I highly doubt any actor can play Daemon to the fullest extent ;u;
I would not comment except that none of the other comments pointed this out: Hayllians and Eyriens are not fair skinned. So choosing white or mostly white actors would be an incorrect casting choice. I realize this is a fan-made trailer and basically wishful thinking, but Hollywood makes this same mistake all the time and if nobody cares then it won't ever stop happening.
My name is Hawk I am 14 yrs old and have read all anne bishop's books so many times i can remember all the words. I believe that although the movie if done well could be one of the greatest fantasies of all time it is impossible because of the depth and perspective that would lack visually though. I have done portraits of most of the characters and would like others to post their sketches to FB
Ben Barnes (it's him, isn't it?) as Lucivar is too cute. I would put him as Daemon. He was a pretty one. Lucivar should be more... more of the fighter type, if you know what I mean
I love this trailer! You have done an absolutely magnificent job. Can you send me the link to this song? This is my favourite book series of all time and you have captured the characters really well...It is so hard to find books like these!
FYI, Daemon is not supposed to have facial hair. It's a trait of the Hayllian race. I loved the characters for Dorothea and Hekatah. They were dead on. Good job. :)
@summerwonder101 Thanks! i'll PM you where you can get the track. The actual track is 1 min longer. I cut it to go with my trailer and yes, i made it with good old Movie maker.
they just should make a series like spartacus, i wonder if producers think this would be tricky though because sex does sell but most of the sex in the books is disturbing because it isn't consensual. that is the only excuse i can come up with for why no there is no film being made. The characters and story are friggin amazing.
love this book, i still imagine michael sheen in underworld as lucivar yaslana, and keria knightly as jeanelle, im abit worried about the rumors that something very bad is going to happen to deamon sadi in the new book, and possibly jaenelle, i dont want him to die or her, this is going to be a tense read.
Love it! I really wish that they would make a movie, but it would be hard to get the actors to play the characters exactly right and I would be so totally disappointed if they turned out like so many of the books-gone-movies have lately. Who would you have playing Surreal though? She plays a pretty big part in the first and last books.
I agree. I don't think any actor could really pull off the depth of the characters. I kinda would like to see a movie, but deep down I pray they never will because you know they'd change the story around and ruin the deep story of the book.
i sooo completely forgot that I wrote something already a few weeks ago. I really can't stop watching the trailer. Other than my inner fangirl nitpicking, I love it.
strangely, I keep seeing the guy who plays E. J. (i think thats his name) in the soap opera Days of Our Lives as Daemon. Might be the link between the show's sex icon and the book's sex icon or just how my brain works...
i like this but..... the eyes of the hayllians and eyriens should be gold, right? (ultra hyper anne bishop fan) i think we need a movie for the black jewels books.... a bunch of movies...
Haha, didn't like her casting of Kirsten Dunst as Jeanelle tho and would have liked someone like Dakota Fanning better but the first picture of Kirsten Dunst in Interview with the vampire was spot on so I can't really complain.
And again with Daemon and facial hair, it's really difficult to cast Daemon. I liked the person who was cast as Lucivar for Daemon better, but I loved the book promo :). Loved this video.
okay.... so if they were to make this into a movie... using the characters you chose.....it would sell millions... i've read the series... and you did credit to the story.
@spitandfire that's what i said, he should have wings, in the video he doesn't, if what i said didn't make sense to you, you could have read ccsays reply and figured it out, unless you're an idiot, which there's a strong possibility you are, maybe next time you should stop and think before you try to correct people
Awesome. Really wish they would make a tv show out of the books
