Sweet Far Thing Book Trailer

[000TeamJacob000]

I loved this series it was very intriguing they should of stuck with the same people from the last book trailer don't like the kid they choose for kartik not what i pictured at all for Gemma always described him as a hard working well built man not this little pimp sqeek . these are my choices for Kartik , Dev Patel from slumdog millionaire or reece ritchie aka Ray from the lovely bones

[PorSiempre333]

Love the casting of Gemma. Not so fond of Kartik. He seemed kinda boyish for the man he is portraying. Loved Felicity in the shot when she is putting the wreath on her head. Didn't see much of Ann, though. I do think that that girl should play Gemma in the movie, though.

[KikyoChanXD]

Actually, to me, Kartik looks like Aladdin. :l

Not some 'ZOMFG Smexyyy' guy. (although, Aladdin is FINE. <3)

[NadineTCO]

The actors playing Gemma and Kartik don't do any justice to them at all!

[misskaterennie]

Why is Kartik....... Asain?

[KikyoChanXD]

@misskaterennie Kartik is Indian, so... that's Asian..

[nlviclone]

i imagined Dev Patel as Kartik LOL

[bloodprincess800]

Book or movie, I always thought Gemma would be beautiful in my eyes. Then again, I'm a sucker for redheads. *shrugs* 

[karabee18]

is this the movie trailer?

[RoyEdAlandRiza23]

@karabee18 No, it's the book trailer, so far there isn't a movie coming out based on the books. 

[VivaRiaAme]

Ewwww, Gemma and Kartik are both not how I imagined them at all! I imagined Gemma to be a ginger-haired beauty and Kartik to be really hot. Ugh. . .

[xXvampireXcraziXx]

ew ew ew the actor for kartik is awful, HELL no.

[ccsays]

ewwww so bad. all the fan made trailers are bettter than this!

[TheBookworm24]

Gemma looks nothing like i imagined her! i thought she would have freckles and light red hair... felicity looks good though. but Kartik...no comment...

[soundsxofxfreedom]

oh god is that kartik?

[SilaVendethiel]

I loved the ending of the trilogy :) how Gemma doesn't get what she thought she always wanted - a proper London lady's life - she gets something different. Something better.

Wth is with Kartik in this, by the by? I loved Felicity and Gemma, but...jeesh.

[daisneyful]

NICE love this trailer

[kitty2kool]

where did u get the different clips to make this???

[kitty2kool]

OMG THAT WAS BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

u showed that perfectly!!!!

omg i wish kartik didnt u nooo!!!!!!

[swmr101]

I reallllllly love this! Kudos for making it! But Kartik looks asian when he SHOULD be indian... :D

[LovelyMe93]

You can see Pippa at 0.51

[Felicity1247]

I actually love this Gemma. She has interesting facial features and is rather striking, which fits in with her described appearance.

[MarronKusakabesan]

'Nachmacher'

[lizzielov09]

but this trailer is really good! is this an official trailer? cause its real close to the book!

[lizzielov09]

omfg! im soo fing mad about what happens to kartik!

and im really p/od cause i accidentally read the sweet far thing before reading rebel angels and so now ive missed a whole book! >:[

[singingismylife1314]

i cried like a baby when Kartik died! i was really mad and dissappointed w/ the ending! and also, what movie are these clips from? like did they actually make a movie of the book? plz answer, b/c im dying 2 know!

[lovemeg101]

It's in the planning process right now for the first movie, don't exspect a move for years, though

[Saleharoks12]

dude, u totaly ruined it for me b/c my book is on hold at the library and i was going to go get it and i was so obsessed u know with the book and i look at the comments and look what i find. the ending to the book. sorry just a bit fustrated knowing the end of the book

[FeeWorthington]

The fourth girl dies in the first book, so she doesn'T appear in a trailer for the 3. book :D

[pinkchick395]

god i cried when i read the um. Kartik thing. it ruined the enitre series for me! but hey where is the fourth girl in this!

[AnotherEnding2009]

pippa died remember this is the SWEET FAR THING trailler

[pinkchick395]

thats great and yes i know it is. I was talking about the other girls whse name i cannot remember, the poor one? Pippa is in this one, she was on the other realm for a bit.

[AnotherEnding2009]

oh the poor one is anne

[helgaedm]

I got really, really sad when that...*ehem* Thing happened to Kartik, and it didn't get any better when someone, that also loves the books, called Kartik SELFISH, I got really pissed off.

[XkisekinoumiX]

When I was reading it, I was like...''NOOOOOOOO!!! KARTIK!!! DAMN YOU, LIBBA!

lmao. xD

[pAttiex33]

Oh yeah, the ending was so freaken sad . I was so pissed off! WHY LIBBA!! WHy. I hope she makes another book trilogy to this! =) BRING KARTIK BACCCK! EMMA, USE YOUR POWERS T_T

[pAttiex33]

Omg, when I read this book, I thought that Felicity was one of the bad people (The secret she didn't want ayone to know) But after I found out, I was like.. "OMG!" i never expected it D:

Haha. Butyeah. THIS WAS A GOOOOOOOD BOOK. Anne's hair is way too short.

[smaries93]

omg in the book kartik was suppose to be like HOT HOT HOTTIEE MCHOT HOT!? i picture him to be like sexy since gemma always wanted him

the books was amazing. i cried alot towards the end T^T so sad. im not going to spoil it u need to read it! sad sad sadT^T

but i kinda wished they started out with the first book to show pippa and the dramatic scenes and also of how they formed as friends

it just doesnt seem right to me that they would just start out like bam! towards the end *sigh*

[wowimicekit]

and god Kartik is so ugly in the trailer... they should of used Jacob out of Twilight or somthin....

[Lestatsnumber1fan]

jacob is uglier then him ew fuck no

[wowimicekit]

omg the was so sad what happened to Kartik... but is she writting another book cause if she is i hope she makes a way for Kartik to come back totally alive with no problems.

[xoxluvu4evrxox]

wow really?? where did u hear that?? I hope she brings kartik back

[FriedBananaSandwich]

Way to totally ruin the ending for those who hadn't finished the book yet! I'm sure they greatly appreciate it! ;D

[jessxoxo59]

wow

i had no idea there was a book trailer.

and was that suppose to be katrik!? he looks like a little boy. oh geez..

[jibber102]

Lol I know I was like....THIS is the trailer for this book?!?!?!?! Kartik looks like a 12 year old, and Gemma looks like a 30 year who's is a bit too big. And she also looks like she's some other ethnicity besides English.

[Lestatsnumber1fan]

this is a great video it seems so real

[RomeoSaveMe0217]

Does anyone know if they're are truly creating a movie of A Great and Terrible Beauty, and if so, when is it supposed to be out?

[kikyo4815]

Yep, it's been confirmed that there is going to be one. No actors/actresses have been confirmed for any role. It's coming out next year, probably late in the year.

[VannyDepp]

my friend told me they arent makin the movie anymore :"(

[kikyo4815]

Lol yeah. Shortly after I posted that, Libba said on her LiveJournal that they're not doing it anymore. :(

[Lestatsnumber1fan]

sadly there is not gonna be a flim since they relqushed the right Icon productions did, but some other company hopefully will buy the rights only time will tell

[apelkiss]

When comes the movie out????

[loserific3]

this was SO good. truly.

but i pictured kartik 10000000000x hotter.

and gemmas eyes a lighter green.

i loved this book, and if you haven't read the series, i highly recommend it.

[pinkchick395]

holy crow ths was amazing!!!!!!

[Bonjourneko]

I thought Gemma looked really beautiful in this video. But yeah, Ann does have the wrong color hair, and in the Victorian age it was disgusting for a woman to have her hair that short.

[iScreamlovr]

Why don't they use the model they use on the book covers for the trailer? Just from the back of her head I think she's exactly like i imagined.

[pAttiex33]

OMg, I agree!I just finished reading the sweet far thing, and It was absolutely amazing! I ended up crying at the end because of what happened to Kartik =(

[sophiabarbachano]

can somebodyy help meeT.T??

i have to read the whole book in one day and i really cant, i just need to know the end of the story...

[pAttiex33]

Its better if you read it. It gets better and better!

Keep reading the sweet far thing =)

[jackwregan]

Sweet production!

[FiveAwesomeYAFans]

I Love the Gemma Doyle trilogy! SO GOOD.

~Genevieve

[heyheyitsmj]

I know a lot of people think that the Gemma's too ugly, but honestly, she isn't supposed to be beautiful. She's striking, which is exactly right. And Felicity and Ann are perfect. I'm not even going to comment on Kartik. He's... ugh...

[TheUsedAngel]

I agree about Kartik, ugh.

[iScreamlovr]

i pictured kartik about 100x hotter

[TheRealAndieGray]

Ann in this video is wrong I think.... Shes too thin and her hair is the wrong color.

[LtRizaHawkeye]

@heyheyitsmj no, she is beautiful. she is just taller than the others. ppl tell her she's pretty and everything, so she isnt ugly. but this girl just can't be Gemma.

[CaughtMyself426]

ooohhhh.... oh nooo.. I.. I Didn't know.... Yes yes watching trailers for books you haven't finished yet is probably not the best idea... But oh gosh why oh why? Does he...?...

[wyevelinwy]

i dont like the end cuz kartik dies n thats so sad : \

[iScreamlovr]

thnx for ruining the ending for those who have not read it jerk

[runningwiththepack29]

i thought that the girls would look older and prettier. and kartik would be more well uhmm... indian! ne ways this isnt the real trailer is it? have they even made the first movie yet?

[writerchick94]

wow.....

this is called a BOOK trailer. made for the BOOK. by a FAN for a CONTEST.

[runningwiththepack29]

you dont have to be such an ass about it

its called an OPINION... made by a PERSON :)

[writerchick94]

i wasnt being an ass about the OPINION. i was telling you it is a book trailer, as clearly stated in the description.

[aliceluvsberries]

i TOTALLY AGREE!!!

[Himyname22]

Ugh! Kartik is so U-G-L-Y! I hate the guy who plays him!

[agacera1]

i love this book and everyone looks perfect everyone but kartik he should be smoking hot indian this kid looks nothing like him but other then that perfect

love gemma!

[deedeea12]

ok, in THIS, kartik is butt-ugly and way too young. in my HEAD he is... a lot hotter than that! but WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE!!!!?????!?!? he was, like, my favourite character in the entire series!!!! waaahhh!!!! he. died. ugh. but i guess that's part of what makes the books so good...

[KatieKalamity16]

Tell me about it! I finished the last book at school and nobody knew what was wrong with me. I cried soooo freaking much!

[deedeea12]

haha lol i think i was on like the verge of crying... it's such a good book, but it was so depressing, too!!!

[TwilightSeries107]

awesome vid!!

[heyheyitsmj]

This is a really good book trailer except for Kartik, who does not look Indian, good-looking, or seventeen in the slightest. However, it makes the book look almost as interesting as it is.

[MissVivi101]

I love these books so much!! I hope she writes a 4th one!!

And hopefully they make a movie!! But without these actors...they just don't look right...;-)

[QTPIE88910]

I thin this trailer is awsome except for 2 things: 1)Gemma is ugly. Her face is all wrong and 2)Kartik looks like he could be my lil bro. But other than that, I loooooooooove it!

[alessa25ifs]

In my opinion this is one of the best trailers I've found, except for 2 things. 1, the boy who plays kartik is a kid! he's not supposed to be that young! 2,If Ann is the girl with blond short hair, it's totally wrong,she's supposed to have brown hair. The rest i think it's great!

What movie are this clips from !?, the first time i saw this i thought it was the official trailer.

And does anyone know when is the movie coming out exactly?

[ROXYlife292]

This is from the Teen BooK Video awards. It is a contest with Harper Collins every year. Young film makers can make a book trailer, and the best one wins. You can google it, there are a lot of cool book trailers. So it isn't a bunch of video clips, they filmed it as one. I know, Kartik is tiny!

And the movie is supposed to come out in 2010, but it's not final or anything. Hope that helps!

[alessa25ifs]

Thanks for the info !

It did help =)

[RedHead531]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeew! Gemma looks ugly I imagined her like the girl on the cover of all three of the books ! they should find a girl who looks like her

[SophiaCullen56]

omg this was really good

[FantasmaLuna]

The girl's reflection in the water looks like Clemence Poésy!

[XLithiumDreamsX]

damn. that was pretty good. did you film that yourself?

[FantasmaLuna]

So...um...er...which one is Ann and which one is Fee? Doesn't Ann have brown hair?

[Sharpaystar11]

i think the girl who's playing gemma in this should play gemma in the movie! she looks exactly like how i imagned her

[houseofrandom12]

is there gonna be a movie?? plz someone tell me!! is there gonna be a movie for a great and terrible beauty?? i need to kno!

[ROXYlife292]

Yeah. They have been talking about it for a while, but not much has been done yet. Libba Bray said they have been writing the script. She says she doesn't know about anything but that. On imdb, no one has been cast, and it says it will come out in 2010. Ahh, thats too far away! Hope this helps =]

[EvilGummiBears]

The girl who plays Gemma looks like a monkey. >>'

[ROXYlife292]

OMG, that's what I was thinking! She also looks like Francine from Arthuer!

[EvilGummiBears]

lawl. x3 She does!

[Baby33]

the girl in 0:53 is Pippa? She's very beauty, i like her eyes

[ALIVlogs]

yeah, I think that's Pippa because 1. She's extremely beautiful, and 2. the factory girls are putting a crown thing on her

Also, I think that is Felicity and Pippa laying down together... hehe

[iloveastro22]

kartek looks so ugly in this.. it makes me sad :C

[funnyfarmdiva]

I agree... he looks far too young... so does felicity. But Ann, Gemma, and Pippa look alright

[GeorgieFan21]

The girls are ok for their roles,....ann is perfect

[deadlygal]

It ruined the image of the three beautiful girls i thought i knew.

[teamedwardandjacob]

whoa...good but the girls were...not to be mean but way uglier than i imagined. and i have to agree. kartik looked friggin three

[ShowtunesGal]

The girl who plays Gemma...what were they thinking?

[ssdroxursox44]

this was pretty good but i dinint like kartik though and felicity is spposed to look prettier isnt she?

[ROXYlife292]

I love this book trailer. I don't like the girl who plays Gemma at all, though. Defenitley not how I imagined her. The other three girls fit it pretty well. Is it just me or do the girls who play Ann and Felicity look really familiar? Don't get me started about Kartik, he does look like he's 5. Plus he looks more Asian than Indian. But I guess the casting doesn't matter since this isn't for the real movie. I can't wait until they make the movie. Hopefully they won't put it off much longer.

[AbilityNow]

I think that one girl was actually a good Gemma. Same with Ann.

[horsewhisperer990]

Kartik looks like he's nine or something. And, is it just me, or is Gemma kind of fugly in this video?

[wolfgurl29]

how the f is kartik SHORTER than gemma? jeez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also, isnt he supposed to have curls that fall over his huge, heavily fringed eyes?!?!?!?

also, at 0:57, that girl's arms look realllllllly creepy. is that supposed to be pippa? and the lady at the beginning of the video, is that supposed to be her mom?

[wolfgurl29]

omg kartik is waaay too yung and fat.....and hes like sooo much shorter than her and he feels her lips and stuff....and im like WWHHOAAA THERE, BOY!!! wait for ur growth spurt!!!!!

also its kinda scary when that gurl is drawing that tree, and if u look at her arms they look soooo creepy omigosh.

but the video is awesome, they just need a better looking felicity and an OLDER, THINNER, TALLER, HOTTER Kartik!!!! i mean seriously, i dont think Gemma would fall in love with mr. 11-year old here,so.

[IndividualityRevived]

Haha. You're funny. I know what you mean about Kartik, though. He doesn't even look Indian to me.

[wolfgurl29]

wow, thanks, u actually called me funny!!!!

i was just ranting....

=D

[jarfish02]

this is an awesome video. it gave me chills. but um whats with that guy playing kartik. he looks like 9 or something. lol.

[therealgemmadoyle]

god i hate that gemma. blech. The guy who plays Kartik is normally so much more attractive. Grr. The books are so much better than this trailer!!

[CarolynJohle]

Liked it, but didn't love it. Ew, Kartik, grow up and hit puberty already.

[19hellokitty17]

This persons aren't like this in the books, only ann...

[NorCalGnar]

I don't like this at all either. But I love the books

[katiebird012]

I didn't like that.

[paradiseheaven]

this isn't the real trailer for a movie right?..it seems so real..lol

[BeautyVintageRoses]

no its not

[drea12301994]

no. it's the trailer for the last book. not even one movie. they haven't even finished writing the script for the movie yet...so...

[Madlen1304]

Are they making a movie of Gemma Doyle Trilogy?Please post the answer in your comments! And if they do...Kartik should be more older(19) and the 4 girls more beautiful.

[IndividualityRevived]

Yeah,supposedly they're making a movie from AGATB (the first book), but it's been "announced" for a long time and there hasn't been any word on the script or casting or anything.

I want unknowns for all the girls.

[Madlen1304]

Well thank you for your comment IndividualityRevived !!! I hope the movie be that great as the books are!!!:))))))))) I can not wait, really !!!!

[Felicity1247]

I didn't quite imagine Kartik to be so...childish-looking. I imagined him to have a kind of jutting out chin, full and curvy lips, and huge melting brown eyes. And of course, dry-earth-colored skin (brown) and muscular limbs. Gemma's okay...not my favorite. Felicity and Ann were fine, except they looked a bit young for 17 or 18.

[TheUsedAngel]

I agree, I imagined Katrik more taller, fuller, and having a more older look.

[rebelde089]

wow haha ur really discriptive lol

[Felicity1247]

Yup, I am! As a writer, it's my job to be descriptive!

[drea12301994]

I know...right...get some older actors! haha.

[drea12301994]

I imagined Kartik hot. But this is just a trailer for the book. But I liked it. It gives me goose bumps. haha.

[ZQanimefan]

i really didn't imagine kartik like that, i imagined a more tyler posey look. gemma was ok, but i think that based on what the books say she sould be a little more simple looking. felicity and anne were perfect.

[JacobBlackIsMyLover]

Kartik is supposed to have brown skin, he's from inda. And where are his curls?

Gemma looks a bit off too. I didnt imagine her with such a broad face...

Loved the book though.

[drea12301994]

I love the book. this is the trailer for TSFT though...I hope the actors for the movie are older, prettier, or hotter (kartik) than in this.

[DinosuarWhirlwind]

I like the girls in this video =]

Ahh I love these books so much!

[BiancoRose]

no offence but gemma should be prettier. in the book they said that she wasint gorgeous or ugly. but rather on the average side. but oh well. one persons opion. Sweet Far Thing was a fabulous book!

[germangirl4017]

ugh that is not kartik to me! no offence but thats not how i pictured him at all!!

[drea12301994]

ditto!

[wowimicekit]

totally!

[bookwormbeauty]

she kinda looks like billie-piper from doctor who. Only with red hair

[LiSi5993]

i think they did a pretty good job choosing the girl who would play gemma. the only thing i thought matched felicity was the long blonde hair. i thought ann had brownish hair and i didnt think kartik matched at all. i thought he was supossed to be indian.

i do think this is really cool how they make previews for books. they should do this more often!

[raysOFshine]

he was indian ...he was the indians that live in india not our nativs that came before everyone(the ones who wore feather on ther eheads)

[celestialmoongoddess]

The actress they picked for Gemme in this video at least looks a bit more like her than the one for the Great and Terrible Beauty trailer this group did, but the others (ESPECIALLY Kartik) don't match.

Still cool to see a trailer for the books though...I still like real trailers better than the cut and paste jobs I've seen here that take scenes from other movies.

[PinkLemonadeSwirls]

Does anyone else think that THIS Kartik is like... Exceptionally lame? or is that just me? umm and Gemma... she doesn't seeem like a gemma....does she?

[starsarefallingxx]

oh yeah, this kartik completely doesn't reach my standards

and gemma's alright

[novelgirl91]

i agree, even though i think that kartik is really cute, he doesn't seem... like kartik. i agree with the gemma thing too.

[MeghanSparrow]

I have just finished the book just about 10 mins ago and i seriously feel like crying.... It is just an amazeing book! I just can't believe what has happened....

[GerogeJohnPaulRingo]

I finished it today and I cried at least 10 times =] I wish a 4th was coming out so badly it was so beautiful :D

[panthera62]

this is a trailer for the BOOK. nto for a movie.

i think its cool how random house does that.

[worldtraveler91]

Never mind, I looked at the user's videos, lol

[worldtraveler91]

Does anyone know of any other books that the publishers made something like this for? This was the first I've ever seen a book trailer with actual actors portraying the characters, it's so cool!

[XxmimixsoraxX]

This is the publishers trailer for the books

[chooche92]

O my gawd serialllll

i waans see that movie

so bad

lol

hope it comes

out dis year!!!

[AquamarineSiren]

Yes they are making a movie and it is going to come out in either 2008 or 2009. i dont know anything else about it, but i heard they were finalizing the script.

[worldtraveler91]

Why do people have to ruin awesome books with movies???

[panthera62]

i agree! like harry potter, like twilight. now this? gr!

[sowhathomiec]

Well, that's not entirely true.

I mean, I certainly felt that way about Twilight until I saw the trailer. Did you see Robert Pattison's eyes? Oh my gawd. Not to mention Kristen Stewart is just a walking...Bella.

Well, semi-walking. Tripping over a few things, naturally.

[gottaluvanime]

OMG!!! i love the books. but does any1 noe if there making the series into movies? because if they did me and my friends wud just die!!! then reincarnate and watch the movies ova and ova!!

[GrenarLabs]

A great book trailer! I love the lighting, it reminds me of Georges De La Tour.

[2horsey102]

i cant wait for the movie!

[TheGhostOfYou5253]

where in the world did you get the scenes??

that was incredible....

[panthera62]

i think this is a video made by Random house books. they make trailers for the books. so they filmed the scenes themselves.

[Rosefire]

This is amazing! Special effects are great, love the music, and the bits with Kartik. Great job!
