  • Fletcher is becoming more interesting but I still prefer Skul and Val. Valduggery <3 Also, Ravel and Ghastly and Vex and Shudder <3

  • why is everyone so obsessed about the NOT OFFICIAL movie... God just read the book...

    oh and by the way, sp is irish, so why on earth wood they choses jhonny depp or dadid tennant playin him??

  • Spoiler Alert: Derek has said no to Johnny Depp as Skulduggery

  • SKULDUGGERY HASSS TO BE PLAYED BY JOHNNY DEPP! IT WOULD WORK AMAZING WITH HIM! <3 LOVEJP.

  • @CT9AEII ok why is it so easy to find people to play sp characters except for fletcher

  • I think Johhny Depp would a good Skullduggery :D

    it stand on a website too.

    xD

  • @MadaItaFanGirl001 omg ikr! he would so suit skulduggery! he's the best person for the job <3 :DD

  • lol love the end bit :D

  • @CT9AEII Angelina is apparently something of a linguist so might pull off China... but I don't know about the others. I'm sure there are actual English actors who are talented/good looking enough enough to Tanith. Julian McMahon's Aussie accent tends to slip (when he's faking American at least) and I don't think he has the terrifying presence of Mr Bliss.

    Don't get me wrong. It was a decent list... just not what I'd go with.

  • @CT9AEII Ellen Page is a tad old and I'm not sure if any of those people can do realistic Irish accents...

  • @CT9AEII thats a perfect cast

  • Pivot he was in doctor who!!! I watched all episodse unless from the new season.

  • @CT9AEII I would change Fletcher. Because he's blonde. But, the overall problem is that all the characters should be Irish.

  • @CT9AEII i like evryone but fletcher -- he should be played by justin bieber, just because he is so annoying!

  • @jediknightess1 not really because justin rapped someone.

  • @jediknightess1 fletcher is awesome and why would justin beiber play fletcher.

    fletcher rules

  • @CT9AEII  sado

  • 0:20 Hmm, Skulduggery, your cheek bones ARE higher! (anyone else get this?)

  • @12Mizu yeah i noticed,

  • @CT9AEII

    China Sorrows: Liv Tyler

    Skulduggery Pleasant: Ed Byrne

    Tanith Low: Milla Jovovich

    Valkyrie Cain: Ivana Baquero

    Ghastly Bespoke: Unknown

    Bliss: Unknown

    Fletcher: Unknown

  • Loved the book. Though i didnt really get why Tanith had to be possesed i mean she's like one of my fav characters in the series aside from Skullduggery

  • @narutoguy56 That's what I was thinking... until I looked back through the collection. Why was Bliss killed? Ghastly turned himself into a garden statue, but then he did recover. I have a suspicion that Tanith will have the Remnant out of her in the next book or if not the next book, next trilogy. I wouldn't worry about it. But then there is the slight possibility that it truely is stuck inside he forever...

  • @roadkillerist havent you read book 3. Bliss was killed by the beslikse in the bodys in the people of the Diableria.

  • allready got it

  • I love all the books!!! But dark days and mortal coil's words were to big, it annoyed me, but the story was awwesome

  • does any 1 know what this sound track is called

  • ;D

  • @dougieteame hahahahahaha.China love Skulduggery.Are you serios?She may have some feelings, but do you remember book 1.Wenn skulduggery was captured China wanted valkiria not report Meritorii about this.

  • @CT9AEII Totally agree on the acting roles!

  • @CT9AEII Don't forget most of the actors will need to have Irish accents... It is based in Ireland after all =P

  • I hope valkyre and caelan dont go out w each other i think sehs better with fletcher and poor ghastly! he was nearly gonna go on a date w tanith when she became a remnant and started going out w serpine! :(

  • @irishspeaker1 i thought serpine is dead and she was going out with billy-ray. i think ?

  • @Bambirox30 oops made amistake i meant billy ray thanks!

  • duz it matter who plays him, u will never see him anyway, just the skull, just sayin, love the books tho, hope they make the film

  • I think Derek Landy should play skulduggery he did all the interviews as skulduggery hed be a great skulduggery! who agrees with me?

  • anyonw know what the name of the next book is called?

  • Anyone know when the next one comes out?

  • @CaraCompass September 1st, 2011

  • @CaraCompass they always publish Landy's books around spring

  • @CaraCompass they always publish Landy's books around spring so i imagine around May or something

  • I always imagine the characters sounding British. I need to imagine Irish... >:/

  • @5k8r6r1 Thts easy 4 me! :D and imagine them w dublin accents dublin accents r different from other irish accents but dont imagine the knacker dublin accents there awful ;-)

  • @irishspeaker1 yeah! cos stephanie doesn't come directly from dublin does she? so maybe they won't have dublin accents. :)

  • @5k8r6r1 shes from haggard i think its just outside of dublin or in dublin because there always going into the city centre in dublin and all i think it wud b cool 2 have irish accents sicne teh darren shan books (idont know if u read them) they made the actors american when they were irish and british i hope that dosent happen with this!

  • Cool ;D

  • Book 1 was good, 2 even better, didn't like the 3rd one much 4th was my fave and 5th was a close second to the 4th in my opinion.

  • Comment removed

  • @mrgreengiant101 It was released 2 months ago...

  • @mrgreengiant101 um...then why watch the damn thing?

  • thanks spoiling it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @angeldarkcrystal Well thanx 4 ruining the book 4 us that havent read it yet!!!!!!!

  • When I got the book, all the hands on it had obese thumbs ._.

  • Amazing book. Was really sad when tanith became a remnant though :(

  • @SuperRedbaboon I don't think it'll be permanent though, that'd just suck

  • does any1 no what the music is called

  • OMG COOL, i know this came out a couple of months ago, but i ain't got book 4, or this one, i love them soooo much, i read one in about 3 hours, they're hard to put down

  • Such a good book.

    But why did Kenspeckle Grouse have to die? That is so unfair!!!

  • Derek Landy came to our school and gave us all a free book. derek if your reading this I'm the guy who asked if you knew sheamus and you were pretty funny saying stuff like oh yeah his like this tall with ears and eyes all that type of stuff :P made you all jealous.

  • OMG TANITHS A REMNANT

  • @digydigdogdead thats why i cried at the end :'(

  • CAELANS A PAEDOPHILE!

    Read 'Mortal Coil' on the following pages:

    71, 72, 74, 75, 76, 295, 296, 297, 543, 544, 545, 546, 547.

    After reading these pages give me thumbs up if you agree

  • @ChrisRockindamaking

    LMAO A pedophile stalker vampire? Well that's nothing new! Doesn't a pedo stalker vampire sound awfully familiar? XD

  • @theblackcatofchronos Have you read the pages i said to look at its proof

  • @ChrisRockindamaking

    No I havn't read the pages yet.. Still waiting for the bookstore to have it in over here. I can't wait to read it! And I just thought it was funny what you said, that's all...

  • I cried when I read the end of the book but im not going to spoil it. You will find out why eventually

  • CAELANS A PAEDOPHILE!

    RUN VALKYRIE RUN!

  • @origijex BUT HE IS! CAELAN'S OVER 100 YEARS OLD AND VALKYRIES 16!

    HE HAS A HUGE CRUSH ON VALKYRIE AND HE STALKS HER. HE WATCHES HER EVERY MOVE AND WATCHES HER WHILST SHES AT HOME!

    PAEDO! PAEDO! PAEDO! PAEDO!

  • i've got this book now, it's awesome.

  • I have read mortal coil and it brilliant

  • I can't wait until this book is avalible in Canada!!

  • this is AWESOME, i am 14 and i would never have been interested in books if it werent for the skulduggery series

    ALSO:all hail darquesse!!!

  • @tulud no Valkyrie will never be Darquesse!!

  • @Bambirox30 Yeah... sorry... If you've read Mortal Coil (as I have) you'd know that Valkyrie does indeed become Darquesse, and squishes the haeds of remnants. But don't worry, she changes back to Valkyrie... for now...

  • @MissBouncyBall Yes i have to and Valkyrie was Darquesse for three minutes

  • WOW

  • got it Friday morning and finished it Saturday noon :D it was amazing <3 ...now if only Val could dump Fletcher and marry Skulduggery

  • @dappledice lololololol

  • Ive just finished it. Its amazing.

  • Finished it in two days, got it a day before it came out via pre-order. It's a great book!

  • Reserved my copy, picking it up from Waterstone's tomorrow! Need to finish Lord of the Rings before then!

  • It says September but I've alerady got my copy and August hasn't even finished yet

  • @thankgodfortv yeah ive go mine to

  • in all there are going to be 9 books derek landy told me

  • If Derak does want Depp to be Skull I agree its a macabre fantasy and Depp is always doing the macabre I hope the movies will be lick Harry Potter basicly epic lol

  • OH MY GOLDEN GODDDDDD!!!!! TWO WEEKS! *Dies*

  • sombodys obsesed and im not i just like the books and my names valkyire with out the y 

  • @valkyirecain Lol, I AM obsessed. Madly X3

  • is it considered weird to kinda like the soundtrack to this teaser?

  • I don't know about any of you guys, but I personally think the best person to do the voice of Skulduggery would be Liam Neesan, because for one thing he's already Irish, and Stephanie/Valkyrie had mentioned in the first book that his voice was as smooth as silk and he's got that. The body doesn't matter cuz it's most likely going to be cgi anyway. Just get a skinny bloke like Doug Jones (who played Abe Sapian in Hellboy) and you're good to go :)

  • @StupidPersian Liam Neeson’s voice is immense <3

  • @SpottyGiraffes I really hope they pick him <3

    But a friend of mine who reads the series as well recently told me that she heard somewhere that Derek Landy wants Johnny Depp to be SP. I don't know how true this is, but there ya go. (I can't really complain about that, cuz I've always liked Johnny :3)

  • @StupidPersian Johnny Depp is a great fit because in Alice in Wonderland and Pirates of the caribbean he made those roles come alive.

  • fuc cant wait

  • lol cant wait

    i <3 skulduggery pleasant

  • EEEEEE~!!!! <3333333333

  • I LOVE SKULLDUGGERY PLEASANT!

  • CAN'T WAIT!

    If there were to be a movie anytime soon, who agrees with me that David Tennant would be GREAT for Skulduggery?

  • @ThePivotPivot

    Now that you mention it, he probably would!

  • @ThePivotPivot He would be amazing!

  • @kb96215 He was BRILLIANT as the Doctor, and the way he acts and carries himself and talks is just PERFECT for Skulduggery.

  • @ThePivotPivot .......The Doctor (David Tennant) is Scottish..... Skulduggery is Irish.... therefore, I disagree.......

  • @TamTam5000 Lolz agreed

  • @ThePivotPivot but Skulduggery already has a voice... haven't you heard the radio interview??

  • @thankgodfortv that was just a little thing they did for the books.

  • @ThePivotPivot I know but well I thought it was pretty awesome and trust me I love David Tennant and I would love for him to be in the movie but I think another character would be better suited to him, but that's my opinion and I think it matters little to big shot directors so I'm just going to see how things play out

  • @ThePivotPivot Your not the only person who thinks he will be good for playing Skulduggery!!

  • @ThePivotPivot omg yes!!!!

  • @ThePivotPivot

    i agree he has the voice

  • @ThePivotPivot i have been thinking that since the first time i read skulduggery pleasant

  • @ThePivotPivot No, just because he was good at the Doctor doesn't mean he'll be good as Skulduggery. =_=; He may put on a good English accent, but I doubt it with an Irish one.

  • @Balaczter He's a real good actor though. And his voice is what I read Skulduggery Pleasant books with in my head.

  • @ThePivotPivot ...but Skulduggery has an Irish accent... so you heard an English accent throughout the entire book? D:

  • @Balaczter It's not just the accent, its the way he talks and carries himself. I'm sure he could fake a convicing irish accent.

  • @ThePivotPivot

    i agree actually, for some reason HE was also teh voice i thought skulduggery have, i thought he would be young ...

  • @ThePivotPivot billy ray sanguine - leonardo di caprio! legend

  • @ThePivotPivot he would be except one major flaw, Davit Tennant is scottish not irish... other than that he would be absolutley perfect!!!

  • @FunkmasterAce01 sooo lol

  • @FunkmasterAce01 I looked up this David guy, and I must say I agree with you.

  • @ThePivotPivot ye :D  the movie is coming in 2011-2012 thats what derek said

  • @ThePivotPivot omg, he'd play the part SO well!

  • @ThePivotPivot NO, NO, no, david tennant would be crap, you've scared me now, all i can think is skulduggerys kick ass body, and mr."i-made-docter-who-look-cra­p"'s voice! damn!

  • @inmyworld998 I agree, he sucks, and totally not Skulduggery...i hope he isn't skulduggery that'll be the worst part of the movie. And I'm pretty sure warner bros wouldn't pick him anyway...

  • @ThePivotPivot oh my god you made me day! XD christ even his physical appearance is what i would imagine to be skulduggery (apart from yknow, the bones....) :P xD

  • @IndianaJonas96 lol totally.

  • @ThePivotPivot Yeah, he would be good, problem is he is Scottish, not Irish

  • @ValkryeCayne I dunno. He faked a mighty fine english accent in Doctor Who. Lets see him try Irish. :)

  • @ThePivotPivot I thought that. When I read Skulduggery Pleasant I imagine Skulduggery to have David Tennant's voice...

  • @WhovianWithWings haha me too!

  • @WhovianWithWings i totally agree

  • @ThePivotPivot No idea how that would work, but YES. JUST YES.

    THAT SHOULD BECOME A PETITION. DAVID TENNANT FOR SKULDUGGERY! (if there actually IS a film, that is)

  • @ThePivotPivot  yes he would suit the part marvelously. <3 i just love the series! the should soooooooooooo make a movie!

  • Comment removed

  • OMG this is amazing!!!!

    I can't WAIT for it to come out!!! :O

  • Love the series, the only bad thing is that we have to wait AHHHHHH. EXCITED

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE.

    And being Stephanie/Valkyrie in the movies would be awesome. Wouldn't it be suckish/ironic if the auditions were when I'm at my acting course in the summer in London? -.-

  • I would love to be in the movie....................

    The books are the best ever, and set in the lovely Island of Ireland. Great!

  • it's been told the movie come out next year and the auditions are this year

  • YAY, 5th book! i love this series, and being in the U.S. isn't gonna stop me from getting the 5th book. 

  • and by the way... in the office (tv show) (american version) which is like my favorite show they mentioned that harper collins was one of their clients. It made me laugh so hard.

  • Woow.... O.o If just the trailer for the book is this awesome, think how awesome the movie would be..! I love that music! >:D

    Oh, 02.09.10, be here faster!

  • @Kyborg93 i think there is some planing for a movie but its just a rumor i think

  • @bleachta334 It is not a rumor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! warner bros bought the rights and derek landy is working on the script right now! it isn't a 100% sure thing that there will be a movie in the first place but there's like a 98% chance there will be. But don't beleive the liars that say it's coming out in 2010 :( i wish it were true but it's just not. derek landy said so himself. go to derek landy blog if ur a fan it is so amazing! anyways i should stop talking now....

  • @STRAWBERRYHEAD555 ty for confirmation

  • @STRAWBERRYHEAD555 Yeah, I heard the Warner Bros thing to and I saw an interview where Derek Landy said things about the script and that they have casted actors so I believe in the movie too, but I'm not putting my hopes that high.

    But I would love a movie. It would be great that people who haven't read the books would finally see the awesomeness too...

  • I. WANT. MOVIE.

  • @notitalian105

    But I also want a faster computer, and the chances of THAT happening aren't very high..

  • Comment removed
