as long as the movie stuck to the story line and that may be hard to do with skeleton key because they have already introduced sabina so they may lose some good materail which would be a shame

I would love to see Point Blanc as a movie as it was my favourite book, well until Scorpia came along. I agree that Point Blanc has a lot of action in it. It was hard for Stormbreaker to be exactly like the book as the books have a lot of detail which would have made a long film. It would be intresting what they miss out of Point Blanc to get a 2 hour film. I love the books and how the writing keeps you in suspense a lot in reading all the details keeping you griped to the book for a few pages to find out what will happen to Alex, where a film moves on in a short time, 5 pages of writing can take 1 minute of film.

Snakehead, no doubt. And Eagle Strike. And Scorpia...
I think they should all be made into movies.
But the BEST would probably be Snakehead and Scorpia.

Wouldn't a lot of them be rated like... PG-13?
I mean Sarov shoots himself.
And there is some violence in the other books.
...Isn't there?

Besides, the books are kinda meant for teens and older children.
I'm sure everyone can handle some violence in a movie.

well , as long as you can handle the violence without imitating it then it s allright, i suppose.
but i thought  AR books were 9-12 ? kind of weird because alot of the people here are older. i know i am and yet i still love reading it!!!!

Haha, I'm definitely older than 12 Tongue, en I also enjoy reading them!!
I think scorpia would make a great movie, but to fully understand the movie you have to know what happend in de previous books, and especially in eagle strike. A movie doesn't make sense when only the real fans can understand what it is really about.
I would go for skeleton key, if there had to be a second movie. (Or just film 'm all Cheesy)

Definitely Eagle Strike! Because of the real-life game scenes, the Sabina/kindnapping scene, Air Force one, and "Go to Venice and find your destiny..." also because I wanna see what actor would be Damian Cray!

they are lol...ive been here ages and Id actually stopped reading them when I first joined the forum...it was something to do with my friends I think. anyway BOT
I'd like Point Blanc...just to see the clones, I love double roles  grin And probably more for the scenery and stuff than the plot in this book. I dunno really, they all have the potential to be made into great movies, it just depends on how you go about it.

hmmm. Storm breaker is taken. lets go through the choices... Point Blank haha yeah snow board scene is better left in the book. that would be the base of the movie.... skeleton key would be kinda weird of a movie. most realistic book though.... Eagle strike was my first thought because no one picked it and i don't like anything left out.... it would attract younger kids with the game slayer game.... Scorpia would be a GREAT choice because it could feed off more movies it could go back in time and describe everything involving his dad.... anyways... Ark Angel would have to be another great choice not my pick.. Snakehead yeah so so.


my vote goes to Eagle-strike/ Scorpia.

in my opinion, snakehead wouldnt be a great movie because in the middle BACICALLY  ITS ALL THE SAME. you know, the classic running through the streets of some crowded forien country that most action movies have.but if they made it short( like less than 2 hours but more than 1) and ventured a little outta the story line, it might make it. no promises. i think the problem is that movies cant build suspense lik books can. like in a book, AH can just be really descriptive and the longer a scene is the better the suspense. but try doing that in a movie and people will lose their interest. so movie suspense is something along the lines of being at gunpoint, hanging on a cliff, a chance for the main charectar to use his wits or strength.

I think that Scorpia would definitely make an awesome movie.  Plus, I have an obsession with Italy, particularly Venice, and I have always loved what I call a lemon-on-ice but what is called in the book a "granita"  I'm pretty sure they're the same thing though.  I really want one now!
