The Novels

I also enjoyed reading the books. Too bad they probably won't get made into movies.

They only purchased the rights to The People of Sparks, but a poor ad campaign and the following box office flop of the movie caused them to scrap the series.

I spent 6 months eagerly awaiting the release of City of Ember and they never even showed it in my city. What the hell? I live in a large city with 5 multiplex cinemas and I would have had to drive an hour away to the only theater showing it in another town. I had to wait to rent it. No wonder it did poorly if they weren't planning on showing it anywhere.

They could have even condensed the other novels into one longer movie. Yonwood isn't intrical to Ember, just interesting. But Darkhold should be made to show everyone the fate of the great city itself. I found it exciting that they actually returned and Lina gets to say goodbye.
