Does anyone know if the next book is going to be made into a movie? I'm loving this so far and I really want to see how it ends

I had the same question when I viewed the movie. It is very open ended.

It probably will, since they have done the first two and as far as I can recall, nothing from the third book was added into this movie.

Yes, it's being filmed right now. It's released in 2016.

Now in post-production for a July 28th, 2016 release in Germany.

this one was released in cinemas in august 2014 for an april 2015 DVD release (8 months), so with july 2016 in cinemas, that would be march 2017 for DVD? can we hope it gets sooner as it's the last movie?

edit : I don't get it, first movie was released in Germany in march 2013, second in december 2014 (august 2014 in Luxembourg) so that's about 1 year and 5 months or 1 year and 9 months between the 2 movies, and the next is scheduled for july 2016, so 1 year and 9 month (or 1 years and 11 months for Luxembourg).
Why such a long delay between the movies? Since they're successful, why not release it sooner? IMDB has Green emerald as in post production in september 2015 ...

Why such a long delay between the movies? Since they're successful, why not release it sooner?

Because, err, they have to make them?

First of all, the writer needs to adapt the novel and create a script. Then there's all manner of things to do like storyboarding, location scouting, costume designing, additional casting, financing, insurance, prop creation and the like. Then they have to film it.

After filming is complete, post-production commences, which means that all the thousands of hours of raw footage has to be watched and edited into a final version, music has to be composed or licenced, CGI alone can take over a year (and as such is often done simultaneously). Then reshoots or additional dialogue recording might be needed. After all that, the film needs to be marketed and distribution needs to be sorted.

In short, 18 months for such a monumental creation is pretty impressive. The only reason other films come out faster is because they're filmed at the same time (like Lord of the Rings or The Hunger Games), which is impossible for a smaller film studio.
