Kidlitchat Transcript – February 22

TOPIC: What book for young readers would you like to see turned into a movie or TV show? Got cast?

2:01 am EgmontGal: My theory (and Hitchcock’s) great movies often come from mediocre source material. W/ the greats, you have to be too faithful. #kidlitchat
2:01 am EgmontGal: But I would like to see Half Magic as a movie. #kidlitchat
2:02 am wrightallison: @gregpincus The 9 yr old often wonders why the Geronimo Stilton books aren’t a TV series. #kidlitchat
2:02 am amyknichols: I just read the topic to hubby and he answered: Ender’s Game. :) #kidlitchat
2:02 am bonnieadamson: @amyknichols Wow–has that not been made into a movie? #kidlitchat
2:02 am julianhector: The Arrival, Shaun Tan! With the Oscars, it might happen, too #kidlitchat
2:03 am TheresaDLove: They Mysterious Benedict Society #kidlitchat
2:03 am gregpincus: @AlexGartner111 LOL! #kidlitchat
2:03 am gregpincus: Me, too! RT @EgmontGal: But I would like to see Half Magic as a movie. #kidlitchat
2:03 am amyknichols: @bonnieadamson I don’t know, now that you mention it. LOL! I think he’s checking IMDB as I type. #kidlitchat
2:04 am stevenmalk: How about The Westing Game w/Hailee Steinfeld as Turtle? Would be a very difficult one to make, in reality. People have tried. #kidlitchat
2:04 am KatGirl_Studio: @gregpincus by “young readers” do you mean any book in kidlit or just books for the very young? #kidlitchat
2:04 am amyknichols: @bonnieadamson He says there’s a movie version coming out in 2013, not cast yet. So there you go. #kidlitchat
2:04 am dshiplett: Hello all! :) #kidlitchat
2:04 am bonnieadamson: @amyknichols Cool! You heard the scoop first here! :-D #kidlitchat
2:04 am jlmartin: Any of The Spook books by Joseph Delaney – gripping stuff. #kidlitchat http://bit.ly/dg6p9K
2:04 am gregpincus: BTW, per @BreakingNews – Manuscript of unpublished novel by Enid Blyton believed found http://bit.ly/i292zd #kidlitchat
2:04 am amyknichols: @julianhector Would love to see The Arrival as a movie! #kidlitchat
2:05 am amandahoving: @gregpincus Hmmm…FOUND by Margaret Peterson Haddix? (maybe not in the YOUNG readers category) #kidlitchat
2:05 am manda903: @stevenmalk The Westing Game is my all-time favorite book. I think it’s brilliant! #kidlitchat
2:05 am laurapauling: My kids would love to see The Ranger’s Apprentice in the movies. #kidlitchat
2:05 am JenniferTrafton: @stevenmalk Would love to see Westing Game. Why would it be difficult to film? #kidlitchat
2:05 am gregpincus: The True Meaning of Smekday would be a blast as a film #kidlitchat
2:06 am gregpincus: @KatGirl_Studio Anything in our normal areas – picture book to YA #Kidlitchat
2:06 am jimhill: @amyknichols 100% agreement on Ender’s Game #kidlitchat
2:06 am Brent_Watson41: How about anything by John Green. PAPER TOWNS would make a great one, I think. #kidlitchat
2:06 am TheresaDLove: My son too! RT @laurapauling: My kids would love to see The Ranger’s Apprentice in the movies. #kidlitchat
2:06 am stevenmalk: V. interesting article here about the film/tv saga of Encyclopedia Brown: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/18/movies/18brow.html #kidlitchat
2:06 am bonnieadamson: @gregpincus Oh, YES! Don’t know who I’d cast as the Bloov–maybe JacK Black? #kidlitchat
2:07 am WriterRoss: RT @gregpincus: TOPIC: What book for young readers would you most like to see turned into a movie or TV show? Got cast? #kidlitchat
2:07 am KatGirl_Studio: I think Fly by Night would make a good movie also Shiver #kidlitchat
2:07 am stevenmalk: @gregpincus From you lips about Smekday! It’s in devleopment with Dreamworks Animation. #kidlitchat
2:07 am kellyhashway: Joining a little late. Hi, everyone! #kidlitchat
2:08 am stevenmalk: @JenniferTrafton I think it would be tough b/c the tone is so campy and there are so many characters. Would take some work. #kidlitchat
2:08 am KatGirl_Studio: @stevenmalk awesome! bet its going to be fantastic =^.^= #kidlitchat
2:08 am stevenmalk: @KatGirl_Studio I hope so — fingers crossed that it gets made. #kidlitchat
2:09 am amyknichols: Imagine the fun they could have with Going Bovine. #kidlitchat
2:09 am jimhill: @stevenmalk That would be great – Smekday from Dreamworks #kidlitchat
2:09 am EgmontGal: @JenniferTrafton @stevenmalk There is at least one existing version of Westing Game movie, with Ray Walston. Disappointing. #kidlitchat
2:09 am coffeelvnmom: @Brent_Watson41 Totally agree! (John Green movie) #kidlitchat
2:10 am kinksgem: I AGREE. (@realjohngreen) RT @Brent_Watson41: How about anything by John Green. PAPER TOWNS would make a great one, I think. #kidlitchat
2:10 am KatGirl_Studio: A lot of the books that are coming to mind are already movies so… #kidlitchat
2:10 am LaurelSnyder: @JenniferTrafton @stevenmalk I’d love to see it too!!! #kidlitchat
2:11 am gregpincus: @stevenmalk Yeah. It’d be a blast. I’ll whisper loudly #kidlitchat
2:12 am bonnieadamson: How about millicent Min et al. for a TV show? #kidlitchat
2:12 am stevenmalk: Studios are actively looking for books that can be “family movies” or teen movies. It’s a real growth area for them right now. #kidlitchat
2:12 am JenniferTrafton: @EgmontGal @stevenmalk Wish it could be done in the style of “Clue.” #kidlitchat
2:12 am EgmontGal: I don’t love CGI, or I would pick The Hero and the Crown by @robinmckinley. Great chars, plot, romance #kidlitchat
2:12 am stevenmalk: @EgmontGal @JenniferTrafton Yeah, I wish I didn’t remember it. But I do. You’d need Wes Anderson to do it! #kidlitchat
2:13 am EgmontGal: I like Millicent Min! They’ve made TWO movies of Mixed Up Files and neither good. Hmmm #kidlitchat
2:13 am dorothiar: I think The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian would be a great movie. Sad and so funny. #kidlitchat
2:13 am KatGirl_Studio: @Brent_Watson41 LOL #kidlitchat
2:13 am jimhill: An animated Clementine, if Marla Frazee does the character models, could be a great series. #kidlitchat
2:13 am amandahoving: @amyknichols True! And, I’m looking forward to Hugo Cabret. Scorsese, I think.? #kidlitchat
2:13 am EgmontGal: @Brent_Watson41 I’m watching New Moon right now. Can’t get enough of shirtless in the rain. #kidlitchat
2:13 am carolgrannick: @bonnieadamson Millicent Min is one of my favorite books, but afraid it would lose intensity as TV show… #kidlitchat
2:13 am KatGirl_Studio: blah why can’t I think of anything. #kidlitchat
2:14 am gregpincus: Good books, of course, don’t necessarily make good movies. Totally different mediums #kidlitchat
2:14 am EgmontGal: Wes Anderson! What a great idea. ADORED his Fantastic Mr. Fox @stevenmalk @JenniferTrafton #kidlitchat
2:14 am Brent_Watson41: @EgmontGal You and me both. :) #kidlitchat
2:14 am KatGirl_Studio: @dorothiar oh yes! That book was fantastic. Sad but hilarious. #kidlitchat
2:14 am bonnieadamson: @carolgrannick Hmmm–maybe a MIN-i series? :-D #kidlitchat
2:14 am amyknichols: @jimhill I would love that. (And so would my daughter!) #kidlitchat
2:14 am JenniferTrafton: @jimhill I was just going to say Clementine too. #kidlitchat
2:14 am dorothiar: @amandahoving I love Hugo Cabret! What a beautiful movie that would be. #kidlitchat
2:14 am amyknichols: @amandahoving Really?! Very cool. #kidlitchat
2:14 am kellypolark: Smekday + Dreamworks = Happy ME! (oh, yeah, and my kids too…) #kidlitchat
2:14 am stevenmalk: @jimhill Thanks, Jim! Clementine would be great, but would require great writers & visual design to stay true to the books. #kidlitchat
2:15 am amandahoving: @dorothiar It’s coming later this year…November or December. #kidlitchat
2:15 am AudryT: RT @gregpincus: TOPIC: What book for young readers would you most like to see turned into a movie or TV show? Got cast? #kidlitchat
2:15 am carolgrannick: @bonnieadamson Good one! : ) #kidlitchat
2:16 am dorothiar: @amandahoving Can’t wait! #kidlitchat
2:16 am KatGirl_Studio: I think Splat the Cat might make a really cute cartoon. #kidlitchat
2:17 am KatGirl_Studio: I will probably have a lot of things to suggest after I read the stack of books I just got on Saturday =^.^= #kidlitchat
2:17 am kellypolark: The Disney channel is promoting a TV movie, Lemonade Mouth. Read that book last year-a cute book about a rock band of misfits. #kidlitchat
2:17 am DrlemonWCGGG: #kidlitchat any choose your own adventure book would be ridiculously innovative as a movie!
2:18 am PaulWHankins: Would love to see @OrigamiYoda‘s The Strange Case of the Origami Yoda as a movie or series. Nostalgic with a twist. #kidlitchat
2:18 am AudryT: Garth Nix’s KEYS TO THE KINGDOM would make a great TV or movie series. #kidlitchat
2:18 am jae_wallace: Birth Marked RT @gregpincus: TOPIC: What book for young readers would you like to see turned into a movie or TV show? #kidlitchat
2:18 am stevenmalk: Yeah, here’s the latest on HUGO. Can’t wait to see this one: http://bit.ly/hBrKUn #kidlitchat

2:19 am Maria_Disidoro: Agreed! RT @AudryT: Garth Nix’s KEYS TO THE KINGDOM would make a great TV or movie series. #kidlitchat
2:19 am gregpincus: Perfect App/Ebook! RT @DrlemonWCGGG: #kidlitchat any choose your own adventure book would be ridiculously innovative as a movie!
2:19 am bonnieadamson: @stevenmalk in 3D–natch #kidlitchat
2:19 am dorothiar: Has anyone seen Legend of the Guardian? It looks really good. #kidlitchat
2:19 am DrlemonWCGGG: #kidlitchat TOTALLY the hunger games series. That would ROCK!
2:19 am karianneholt: @PaulWHankins totally. I think @origamiyoda with a middle grade Freaks & Geeks feel would make a great show. #kidlitchat
2:20 am carolgrannick: @gregpincus So true that a book and film are completely different. What would you look for in a book that would say,”Good film”? #kidlitchat
2:20 am stevenmalk: I predict Hollywood will make another run at The Little Prince at some point. #kidlitchat
2:20 am TracyClark_TLC: RT @gregpincus: TOPIC: What book for young readers would you most like to see turned into a movie or TV show? Got cast? #kidlitchat
2:20 am bonnieadamson: @dorothiar is that the one about the owls? have seen the trailer. #kidlitchat
2:20 am kellypolark: @PaulWHankins @OrigamiYoda I just read that last week. LOVED it! So funny and I love any references to Star Wars. #kidlitchat
2:20 am PaulWHankins: And I’d certainly put my vote in for (and pre-purchase tickets for) the Patrick Ness Chaos Walking Trilogy. Bring the Noise. #kidlitchat
2:20 am EgmontGal: @stevenmalk I am proud to say that my friend Anthony Rapp starred briefly in the legendary musical flop of The Little Prince. #kidlitchat
2:20 am PaulWHankins: RT @karianneholt: @PaulWHankins totally. I think @origamiyoda with a middle grade Freaks & Geeks feel would make a great show. #kidlitchat
2:21 am dorothiar: @BonnieAdamson Yes, I tried to get it at the library, and it had 48 holds! I think I will read it before I watch the movie. #kidlitchat
2:21 am JenniferTrafton: What about one of Eva Ibbotson’s books, like Island of the Aunts or Dial-a Ghost? Any movies made of them yet? #kidlitchat
2:21 am EgmontGal: @stevenmalk I say briefly because the Bway musical of Little Prince is famous for closing the day before opening night! #kidlitchat
2:21 am Brent_Watson41: It’d have to have a big budget, but The Dust of 100 Dogs would make a great one. No clue on the cast. #kidlitchat
2:21 am gregpincus: @carolgrannick A strong visual element. Strong characters with personality. And ideally, a strong hook #kidlitchat
2:21 am AudryT: PRINCESS ACADEMY would probably make a pretty good Disney Channel movie. #kidlitchat
2:21 am CarolTanzman: @carolgrannick @gregpincus have to look for visual possibilities, action, good storytelling, yes, but it has to move. #kidlitchat
2:21 am bonnieadamson: @JenniferTrafton Ooh–or Secret of Platform 13–that would be cool. #kidlitchat
2:21 am thatlauraruby: @PaulWHankins I’d LOVE to see a Chaos Walking movie (or series of movies.) #kidlitchat
2:21 am karianneholt: @PaulWHankins Also, I’d like to sit at the writers’ table for that show. ;) #kidlitchat

2:22 am stevenmalk: @EgmontGal Oh, he”s great. Loved him in Six Degrees of Separation! #kidlitchat
2:22 am PaulWHankins: @karianneholt I stand among those who believe Freaks and Geeks was taken away from us too soon. Antithesis to Saved by the Bell. #kidlitchat
2:22 am jimhill: @PaulWHankins Oh yeah – Patrick Ness Chaos Walking Trilogy #kidlitchat
2:22 am PaulWHankins: RT @thatlauraruby: @PaulWHankins I’d LOVE to see a Chaos Walking movie (or series of movies.) #kidlitchat

2:23 am BJMuntain: RT @stevenmalk: Studios are actively looking for books that can be “family movies” or teen movies. It’s a real growth area for them right now. #kidlitchat

2:23 am amylovestrees: Would love an animated version of The Wild Swans by Sylvain Chomet (The Illusionist) #kidlitchat
2:24 am amyknichols: Me, too! RT @PaulWHankins I stand among those who believe Freaks and Geeks was taken away from us too soon. #kidlitchat
2:24 am WriterRoss: @PaulWHankins @karianneholt Paul, didn’t know we were both Freaks and Geeks fans. Obsessed with that show. Gone too soon, yes. #kidlitchat
2:24 am AudryT: @thatlauraruby GOOSE GIRL was really something, wasn’t it? Great writing. #kidlitchat
2:24 am LaurelSnyder: FINALLY got tweetchat to work. Whew. #kidlitchat

2:26 am dsantat: Forgive me…First time Twitterer. I suggest Neil Gaiman’s The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish #kidlitchat
2:26 am AudryT: I want to see MAGIC UNDER GLASS as a quiet little anime movie. #agirlcanwish #kidlitchat
2:26 am PaulWHankins: I plug this book quite a bit, but I think Eli the Good would make a nice period piece (1976). Good family-oriented film. #kidlitchat
2:26 am susan_marie: Hugo Cabret update: http://twitter.com/PWKidsBookshelf/status/40034028014796800 #kidlitchat
2:26 am thatlauraruby: @AudryT @thatlauraruby Totally killed me. So beautiful. #kidlitchat
2:27 am Brent_Watson41: The Forest of Hands and Teeth would make a great movie. But no clue on the female lead. Who could play Mary? #kidlitchat
2:27 am CarolTanzman: Yes. it wd make a really good movie. @AudryT: INCARCERON the movie. #enoughsaid #kidlitchat
2:27 am AudryT: Also, I have been waiting MY WHOLE LIFE to see THE TRUE CONFESSIONS OF CHARLOTTE DOYLE brought to film! #prettypleaseuniverse #kidlitchat
2:27 am PaulWHankins: You know? @LaurelSnyder‘s Penny Dreadful would make a nice family film. Imagine the cast of characters here on the big screen. #kidlitchat
2:27 am laurapauling: @CarolTanzman I third Incarceron #kidlitchat
2:27 am amyknichols: @dsantat Great suggestion. :) #kidlitchat
2:27 am gregpincus: @PaulWHankins Oh, I can see film execs shrink up when you say period and family. Dead in the water, sadly. #kidlitchat
2:28 am carolgrannick: @AudryT Yes to your CHARLOTTE DOYLE wish…! #kidlitchat
2:28 am JenniferTrafton: @thatlauraruby @AudryT Ditto on Goose Girl. It has everything. #kidlitchat
2:28 am Maria_Disidoro: I’d groove on seeing The Witch of Blackbird Pond as a mini series. That was one of the few school books I liked in 4th grade. #kidlitchat
2:29 am bonnieadamson: @gregpincus There’s always the Hallmark Channel #kidlitchat
2:29 am frankisibberson: @carolgrannick @AudryT Have wanted Charlotte Doyle to be a movie since the first time I read it years ago. Totally agree! #kidlitchat
2:29 am MrSchuReads: RT @susan_marie: Hugo Cabret update: http://twitter.com/PWKidsBookshelf/status/40034028014796800 #kidlitchat
2:29 am gregpincus: @BonnieAdamson They’d also tell you that’s not what they do #kidlitchat
2:29 am Jodi_Kendall: @Brent_Watson41 Agreed ?�I would LOVE to see The Forest of Hands and Teeth & The Dead-Tossed Waves made into films. #kidlitchat
2:29 am AudryT: PART-TIME INDIAN would be an interesting challenge to bring to screen, but I bet the right director would do it justice. #kidlitchat
2:29 am PaulWHankins: @gregpincus Hey, Greg-can we talk about books for teens that we wish WERE NOT made into films? I won’t flame titles. . .#kidlitchat 4
2:29 am Brent_Watson41: @BonnieAdamson Seems like half of the published books get optioned for films, yet most never get made. #kidlitchat
2:29 am thatlauraruby: I’d also like to see Everything on a Waffle. Maybe stop motion? #kidlitchat
2:30 am jlpowers: #kidlitchat what about Nancy Farmer’s A GIRL NAMED DISASTER? Or Benjamin Alire Saenz’s SAMMY AND JULIANA IN HOLLYWOOD?
2:30 am gregpincus: @PaulWHankins Absolutely! Talk about the reverse. #kidlitchat
2:30 am stevenmalk: @frankisibberson @carolgrannick @AudryT Charlotte Doyle was being developed for years by Danny DeVito. Not sure where it stands. #kidlitchat
2:30 am thatlauraruby: @frankisibberson @carolgrannick @AudryT Another for Charlotte Doyle. #kidlitchat
2:30 am bonnieadamson: @Brent_Watson41 True–I thought I’d heard go ahead rumors about TFOH&T though #kidlitchat
2:31 am jimhill: How about @rebstead‘s “When You Reach Me”? #kidlitchat
2:31 am jlpowers: @PaulWHankins @gregpincus haha nice #kidlitchat
2:31 am gregpincus: @dsantat kid main characters have been very hard sells since the early 90s in feature films #Kidlitchat
2:31 am CarolTanzman: or we cd talk about great movies that did nothing at the box office. Anyone remember Freak the Mighty? #kidlitchat
2:32 am bonnieadamson: @AudryT NO, lol! #kidlitchat
2:32 am PaulWHankins: It took the Printz Award and a film version would be epic. Like Repo Man meets The Pirates of the Caribbean–Ship Breaker. #kidlitchat
2:32 am Brent_Watson41: @jlpowers Seems like film company gobble up the rights so no one ELSE will make the film….just in case sorta thing #kidlitchat
2:32 am jlpowers: @Brent_Watson41 #kidlitchat Forest of Hands and Teeth WOULD make a great movie. Agreed.
2:32 am mike_jung: Hi y’all. THE TRUE MEANING OF SMEKDAY would be a great film with just the right director, and maybe animated. #kidlitchat
2:33 am Brent_Watson41: @bonnieadamson I hope so. I think it’d translate to screen nicely #kidlitchat
2:33 am kellypolark: @Brent_Watson41 I think a newcomer should play Mary in Forest of Hands and teeth, & well known male actors for other parts. #kidlitchat
2:33 am amandahoving: This may result in me being publically stoned, but…I wish they had made more than one A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS movie… #kidlitchat
2:33 am JenniferTrafton: I’d love to see an old-fashioned story like the Penderwicks on screen…. mainly because I’m tired of sarcastic animals & CGI! #kidlitchat
2:33 am gregpincus: @Brent_Watson41 @jlpowers No, they don’t spend money to preempt. They spend money hoping something will be a great film. #kidlitchat
2:33 am amyknichols: Bowing out early. Reading Harry Potter (book 1, chapter 1) with my kiddo tonight. Waited a long time for this! Good night all. #kidlitchat
2:34 am stevenmalk: Always been surprised no one has done THE BFG as a feature. I bet it’ll happen. #kidlitchat
2:34 am suzlews: I’d like to see the Evolution of Calpurnia Tate on TV #kidlitchat
2:34 am gregpincus: @amyknichols Night, Amy. Maybe just show him the movie this one night :-) Nah. Read well! #kidlitchat
2:34 am dsantat: Wonder why Artemis Fowl hasn’t been made yet? Seems like a no brainer to me #kidlitchat
2:34 am amylovestrees: My students beg for a film version of House of the Scorpion. #kidlitchat
2:34 am chorkie: I think that bks made into movies sometimes kills the book. Many changes to book; kids say saw movie; Twilight & HP exceptions.#kidlitchat
2:34 am mike_jung: @ericluper‘s SETH BAUMGARTNER’S LOVE MANIFESTO would be a perfect summertime movie. #kidlitchat
2:35 am WriterRoss: What about the “life as we knew it” books? Could be done, upliftingly…<g> #kidlitchat
2:35 am jennymosswrites: I’d love that RT @suzlews: Id like to see the Evolution of Calpurnia Tate on TV #kidlitchat
2:35 am Jodi_Kendall: I WISH. I devoured this book last weekend. RT @jennymosswrites Teen movie: ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS #kidlitchat
2:35 am chorkie: @MrSchuReads @BobbiePyron @AnitaSilvey I cannot wait to read it. #kidlitchat
2:35 am gregpincus: @dsantat Despicable Me prolly didn’t help the Artemis chances #kidlitchat
2:35 am cranberryfries: I totally agree! :) RT @jennymosswrites Teen movie: ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS #kidlitchat
2:36 am AudryT: Who’d glomp a PERFECT CHEMISTRY movie? #kidlitchat
2:36 am cathgrimes: Me three. Great books. RT @gregpincus: Me, too! RT @EgmontGal: But I would like to see Half Magic as a movie. #kidlitchat
2:36 am AlleyofBooks: If ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS ever gets optioned it better be for a MOVIE. Not a TV movie. A REAL movie. @naturallysteph #kidlitchat
2:36 am jennymosswrites: @Jodi_Kendall Yes, & it has that whole Paris setting that’d be awesome. #kidlitchat
2:36 am thatlauraruby: @PaulWHankins agree on Shipbreaker, too. #kidlitchat
2:36 am Jodi_Kendall: I think MASTERPIECE would make a fabulous animated film. It’s such a delightful story! #kidlitchat
2:36 am AlleyofBooks: @AudryT I’m down with that! #kidlitchat
2:36 am stevenmalk: @JenniferTrafton There’s an old fashioned one in the works. Not announced yet but I will tell you next time we talk! #kidlitchat
2:37 am jlpowers: @gregpincus @dsantat #kidlitchat but there’s where the awesomely suck comes in
2:37 am jimhill: I could see Mac Branett’s Brixton Brothers Detectives as a fun live action TV series too #kidlitchat
2:38 am gregpincus: @jlpowers Sadly, no. There are a lotta good (or decent, even) kid-friendly movies with lousy grosses. #kidlitchat
2:38 am WriterRoss: Ingrid Law’s Savvy would be fun to see move into film. #kidlitchat
2:38 am jlpowers: @PaulWHankins #kidlitchat totally subtle! :-)
2:38 am captaincarey: #kidlitchat – has wrinkle in time ever been made into a film?
2:38 am thatlauraruby: I meant to write Ship Breaker. And what about Farmer’s The Eye, The Ear, and the Arm? #kidlitchat
2:38 am PaulWHankins: @EgmontGal Would love to see Food, Girls, and Other Things I Cannot Have as a big screen offering. #kidlitchat
2:38 am bonnieadamson: @gregpincus is there still an after-market on video? #kidlitchat
2:38 am dsantat: I didn’t think Terebithia was a good film. I wasn’t too keen on the casting #kidlitchat
2:39 am Shelley_Watters: I would love to see The Forest of Hands and Teeth series made into movies. #Kidlitchat
2:39 am agdeeds: BEST idea ever!! RT: @EgmontGal But I would like to see Half Magic as a movie. #kidlitchat
2:39 am QueenbeeTF: @audryt ME! I love those books soooo much #kidlitchat
2:39 am stevenmalk: @jimhill Again, from your lips… I totally agree with you! It’s been hard for the reasons that @gregpincus is citing. #kidlitchat
2:39 am LaurelSnyder: @dsantat I couldn’t watch it. The CGI in the previews turned me off. #kidlitchat
2:39 am JenniferTrafton: @captaincarey I wondered about a Wrinkle in Time too. Seems like a no brainer. #kidlitchat
2:39 am jimhill: @stevenmalk Yes, and you know, no vampires or supernatural stuff. #kidlitchat
2:39 am jlpowers: @Brent_Watson41 #kidlitchat Sometimes it seems like nobody thinks about the writers…
2:39 am AlleyofBooks: @PaulWHankins @egmontgal Now why didn’t think of I that?! It would be awesome! :) #kidlitchat
2:40 am WriterRoss: @PaulWHankins @EgmontGal Oh my g-d excuse me. YES I am reading this now and I can’t stop laughing (tears mixed in as well). YES. #kidlitchat
2:40 am AudryT: @JenniferTrafton @captaincarey No, WRINKLE IN TIME is a very difficult story to bring to screen. It’s internal, not external. #kidlitchat
2:40 am KatGirl_Studio: @dsantat that movie made me so sad :( I had forgotten the ending from when I was in school so I was totally shocked. #kidlitchat
2:40 am Sarah_Skilton: @CarolTanzman Don’t know that one; what was it about? I think Great Gilly Hopkins film could be, well, great :) #kidlitchat
2:40 am dorothiar: Was wondering about Redwall. Turns out it is going to be a movie. http://youtu.be/5wpxoYDa-Ik #kidlitchat
2:41 am JenniferTrafton: @AudryT @captaincarey Ah, you’re right. #kidlitchat
2:41 am WriterRoss: (hard to type, just realized how cold it is in here.. I think I need an oil delivery.. why are my fingers freezing?!) #kidlitchat
2:41 am KatGirl_Studio: @AudryT so was Speak and they made that into a movie. #kidlitchat
2:41 am robin_lucas: I finally made it to #kidlitchat !!
2:41 am jlpowers: @JenniferTrafton @captaincarey #kidlitchat sometimes films come out decades after a book is published so there’s hope for A Wrinkle in Time.
2:42 am jennymosswrites: I’d be interested to see what someone would do with Jennifer Donnelly’s REVOLUTION. That book is still on my mind. #kidlitchat
2:43 am robin_lucas: #kidlitchat Worse book made into movie: Gulliver’s Travels with Jack Black– so mad about that one
2:43 am gregpincus: @robin_lucas welcome! chat away… #kidlitchat
2:43 am KatGirl_Studio: @robin_lucas yes you are right I didn’t like that they revealed what happened to her in the first few min. #kidlitchat
2:43 am WendyMartinArt: I’ve read so many good books lately, it’s hard to pick on to turn into a movie #kidlitchat
2:43 am AudryT: @KatGirl_Studio Years of WRINKLE screenplays have been written, most unfilmable, some by famous writers. Not like SPEAK at all. #kidlitchat
2:43 am kellypolark: @dsantat But James Kennedy’s 90 second Newbery film version of Wrinkle in Time is awesome! #kidlitchat
2:43 am JenniferTrafton: @robin_lucas I could hardly make it through the preview. #kidlitchat
2:43 am jlpowers: @amylovestrees #kidlitchat YES! Any Nancy Farmer would totally work as a film.
2:43 am KatGirl_Studio: @robin_lucas Should have left it like in the book, I liked how mysterious it was. #kidlitchat
2:43 am jennymosswrites: That’d be cool. RT @mike_jung: Id love to see someone try making a (relatively quiet) movie out of Kurtis Scalettas MUDVILLE. #kidlitchat
2:44 am robin_lucas: @gregpincus Thanks! #kidlitchat
2:44 am JenniferTrafton: @kellypolark @dsantat Agreed… loved the 90-second Wrinkle #kidlitchat
2:44 am jlpowers: @thatlauraruby #kidlitchat THe BLue Castle is my all-time FAVORITE L.M. Montgomery. Her best book, I think.
2:44 am stevenmalk: @jennymosswrites Great to hear, Jenny! There’s been quite a bit of interest, we’ll see what happens. I think it could be great. #kidlitchat
2:45 am KatGirl_Studio: @jlpowers yes it was. I got it a few years ago but I just saw it this weekend with a new cover at Frys #kidlitchat
2:45 am robin_lucas: @KatGirl_Studio Exactly. #kidlitchat
2:45 am LaurelSnyder: What I would REALLY love is a film of The 13 Clocks, but I can’t imagine the filmmaker who could do it justice #ohbutthedialogue #kidlitchat
2:45 am jlpowers: @dsantat Never saw those versions of A Wrinkle in Time. Maybe she’s too cerebral for film. #kidlitchat
2:45 am amandahoving: @jlpowers @JenniferTrafton @captaincarey There was a movie…not very well known. Maybe about 8-10 years ago? #kidlitchat
2:45 am Sarah_Skilton: @suzlews That would be cute. Great time period stuff. #kidlitchat
2:45 am stevenmalk: I was always surprised that no one ever did The Castle in the Attic or The Dollhouse Murders. #kidlitchat
2:46 am WriterRoss: Did the movie FLIPPED come out already? Anyone see it? How was it? #kidlitchat
2:46 am robin_lucas: @JenniferTrafton Funny. I really enjoyed the version with Ted Danson and his wife. #kidlitchat
2:46 am thatlauraruby: @jlpowers @thatlauraruby Yay! I’ve only met one other person who even knows The Blue Castle. Isn’t it awesome!? #kidlitchat
2:46 am jennymosswrites: @stevenmalk Seriously? That’d be great. Lots of depth & layers there. #kidlitchat
2:47 am laurapauling: Some books just make better books and that’s all there is to it. #kidlitchat
2:47 am debbieduncan: I’ve said for at least 15 years that Nancy Farmer’s THE EAR, THE EYE AND THE ARM would make a TERRIFIC movie. #kidlitchat
2:47 am robin_lucas: @KatGirl_Studio I guess, but you know nothing ever goes perfectly when converted from such a gripping book #kidlitchat
2:47 am KatGirl_Studio: @jlpowers see http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0378793/ #kidlitchat
2:47 am jlpowers: @thatlauraruby #kidlitchat BEST book ever and I totally love L.M. Montgomery. It kicks all her other romances in the a**. :-)
2:47 am Jodi_Kendall: On a side note, I can’t wait for Hugo Cabret! :) #kidlitchat
2:48 am KatGirl_Studio: @jlpowers though mine doesn’t have that cover either. #kidlitchat
2:48 am JenniferTrafton: @jlpowers @thatlauraruby I’m going to have to check that book out! I think I read everything else LMM wrote. #kidlitchat
2:48 am stevenmalk: @jennymosswrites Yes. With the right writer and director, I think it could be pretty special. #kidlitchat
2:49 am gregpincus: Wow, tweets disappearing sure does make a #kidlitchat disjointed!
2:49 am telephoneNsoup: @stevenmalk We even found fans of The Stupids in West Africa. #kidlitchat
2:49 am KatGirl_Studio: @jlpowers ok found the right one http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1663474944/tt0378793 #kidlitchat
2:49 am SJAdamsBooks: I’d like to see one for “Snarkout Boys and the Avocado of Death.” @adamselzer can do location scouting. #kidlitchat
2:49 am thatlauraruby: @JenniferTrafton @jlpowers You’ll love it, Jennifer. #kidlitchat
2:50 am WriterRoss: @gregpincus I’m glad you said that. I am so disoriented here tonight. Tweets all over the place. #kidlitchat
2:51 am bonnieadamson: @WriterRoss huh–I wondered why I kept missing things. #kidlitchat
2:51 am KatGirl_Studio: @robin_lucas but sometimes something great happens like Howls Moving Castle. The movie & book are vastly different but awesome. #kidlitchat
2:51 am wardomatic: @Jodi_Kendall I’m with you on that one! Hugo Cabret would be very interesting to see as a film. #kidlitchat
2:51 am 3boysandbooks: I think Eva Ibbotson’s JOURNEY TO RIVER SEA would make a gorgeous movie. Or maybe THE DRAGONFLY POOL… #kidlitchat
2:51 am kellypolark: @robin_lucas Hunger Games has lots of action/suspense so could be a great movie. But impossible to be better than the book! #kidlitchat
2:51 am dorothiar: Oops, forgot the hashtag. #kidlitchat I need to make a list of all these books!
2:51 am dsantat: Why not Dinosaur Bob or Santa Calls? Of all the Bill Joyce books those haven’t been made and they are his best. #kidlitchat
2:51 am angelamatteson: @dsantat I didn’t think Terebithia was a good film.<Agreed! Didn’t care for how handled imaginative elements. Made me outsider #kidlitchat
2:51 am braydenhirsch: RT @laurapauling: Some books just make better books and that’s all there is to it. #kidlitchat.
2:51 am WendyMartinArt: @dsantat I’d love to see Tuesday made into a film. #kidlitchat
2:52 am bonnieadamson: @dorothiar Right–because you KNOW the books will be better, anyway. :-) #kidlitchat
2:52 am jimhill: @wardomatic I’m just reading Hugo Cabret now and it’s great. So smooth between words and pictures. #kidlitchat
2:53 am dsantat: @WendyMartinArt I don’t know. I think watching Tuesday as a film would be like me in college watching Pink Floyd’s The Wall #kidlitchat
2:53 am jlpowers: @KatGirl_Studio #kidlitchat Thanks. I’ll have to check Speak out.
2:53 am WriterRoss: Would loved to have been in the writer’s room when they took WHERE WILD THINGS ARE from bk to the story in the film. #kidlitchat
2:53 am bonnieadamson: @jimhill @wardomatic–it’s amazing–but NOT cinematic . . . to me. Still very much a “book” experience. #kidlitchat
2:53 am wardomatic: @jimhill That’s what I love about that story-he allows the reader to fill in anything between the written and drawn. #kidlitchat
2:53 am dorothiar: #kidlitchat RT @angelamatteson: @dsantat I didn’t think Terebithia was a good film. Agree- Love the book, the movie was lacking.
2:53 am jlpowers: @WriterRoss @gregpincus I’m back after a six month hiatus (had a baby) but it always seemed this disorienting. #kidlitchat
2:54 am jimhill: @dsantat Have you seen anything from the Legend of the Leaf Men? I have high hopes and fingers crossed. #kidlitchat
2:54 am WendyMartinArt: @dsantat Too trippy? #kidlitchat
2:54 am KatGirl_Studio: @WendyMartinArt would make an awesome cartoon I think #kidlitchat
2:54 am robin_lucas: @Jodi_Kendall As long as it doesnt get butchered like Percy Jackson–ugh! That was painful to watch with the kids #kidlitchat
2:54 am amandahoving: @BonnieAdamson @WriterRoss I’m disappearing now. Good night, all, and thanks for the chat~ #kidlitchat
2:54 am wardomatic: @bonnieadamson @jimhill Oh! I agree, but the entire time I read it, I could see it cinematically. #kidlitchat
2:54 am stevenmalk: Really? That’s so great! Fans of the books, I hope? RT @telephoneNsoup We even found fans of The Stupids in West Africa. #kidlitchat
2:54 am jlpowers: @thatlauraruby @JenniferTrafton #kidlitchat AGREED. Any L.M. Montgomery fan has to check THE BLUE CASTLE out.
2:54 am WriterRoss: @jlpowers Congratulations (and you will feel right at home here tonight)! #kidlitchat
2:55 am suzlews: What about Bats At the Library Bats at the BallPark, Bats at the Beach #kidlitchat
2:55 am KatGirl_Studio: @robin_lucas I liked it but you’re right his books are much better. #kidlitchat
2:55 am MrsOrman: It’s next on my reading list! @PaulWHankins And I’d certainly put my vote in for..the Patrick Ness Chaos Walking Trilogy. #kidlitchat
2:55 am robin_lucas: @artsylliu I think they should cast some unknowns. #kidlitchat
2:56 am WendyMartinArt: @KatGirl_Studio I agree. I was supremely disappointed with Where the Wild Things Were as a movie. They killed the story. #kidlitchat
2:56 am julianhector: @WendyMartinArt @dsantat I think it would be great! (oops, tweetchat probs) #kidlitchat
2:56 am jimhill: @wardomatic Yes, I think that the combination makes it feel more cinematic. Amazing pacing, intimate scenes, big sets #kidlitchat
2:56 am gregpincus: G’night folks. I gotta dash and go purchase a bunch of rights :-) Transcript up sooooooon (I hope!) #kidlitchat
2:56 am robin_lucas: @jlpowers Congrats on the baby! #kidlitchat (and welcome back)
2:56 am literaticat: Oh no I was so busy with TAXMANIA I forgot about #kidlitchat! What is the dealio, we are talking about movies? #kidlitchat
2:57 am jimhill: @BonnieAdamson I as wondering how non-comic readers would experience it. Are you a comic reader? #kidlitchat
2:57 am bonnieadamson: @literaticat What book wold you like to see turned into a movie? #kidlitchat #kidlitchat
2:57 am jlpowers: @WriterRoss #kidlitchat Haha. Yes, having a baby and having a twitter chat are EXACTLY alike!!! :-) well, there are similarities…so true.
2:57 am LaurelSnyder: @gregpincus Lol! “night! #kidlitchat
2:57 am KatGirl_Studio: @WendyMartinArt it was pretty but a little too harsh and adult #kidlitchat
2:57 am thereadingzone: @jennymosswrites #kidlitchat I would LOVE to see Revolution become a movie!
2:57 am jlpowers: @robin_lucas whew thanks! good to be back! #kidlitchat
2:57 am robin_lucas: @KatGirl_Studio The movie has an entirely different plot from the book. #kidlitchat
2:57 am WendyMartinArt: @KatGirl_Studio The kid was a brat and not likeable. MCs need to be likeable. #kidlitchat
2:57 am braydenhirsch: I hate when authors complain about the movie after it’s been adapted. I heard that once. Ppl should learn how to screenwrite. #kidlitchat
2:57 am jlpowers: @amylovestrees #kidlitchat You won’t regret it!
2:58 am WriterRoss: This Joan Bauer fan also a little suprised none of her novels (to my knowledge) have made it to screen. HOPE WAS HERE. Perfect. #kidlitchat
2:58 am angelamatteson: @wardomatic @bonnieadamson @jimhill I listened to Hugo Cabret as an audiobook. It wasn’t so great. #kidlitchat
2:58 am stevenmalk: @thereadingzone @jennymosswrites That’s so great to hear! Let’s hope it happens. #kidlitchat
2:58 am bonnieadamson: @jimhill Was avid comic reader when a child (golden age of comics). Not so much lately #kidlitchat
2:58 am literaticat: I would like to see ALL MY CLIENTS BOOKS made into movies. Call me, Hollywood. #operatorsarestandingby #seriously #kidlitchat
2:58 am robin_lucas: @gregpincus Goodnight #kidlitchat
2:58 am WriterRoss: (definitely missing chunks of chat, sigh) #kidlitchat
2:58 am SJAdamsBooks: @braydenhirsch producers seldom give the author the option of writing the screenplay themselves. #kidlitchat
2:59 am bookaliciouspam: RT @literaticat: I would like to see ALL MY CLIENTS BOOKS made into movies. Call me, Hollywood. #operatorsarestandingby #seriously #kidlitchat
2:59 am thereadingzone: I would love to see the Chaos Walking series become a film. I think it would be fantastic on film. #kidlitchat
2:59 am bonnieadamson: @angelamatteson LOL, WHY would they even attempt an audio book of HUGO . . . sputter . . . ???? #kidlitchat
2:59 am jimhill: @angelamatteson hahahaha – really? Hugo Cabret audiobook? #kidlitchat
3:00 am angelamatteson: @dorothiar I get into arguments with a friend over Terebithia. He loved it. It never pulled me in. Major disappointment. #kidlitchat
3:00 am Maria_Disidoro: Does anyone remember Tatsu the Dragon? That would make a fabulous animated movie. #kidlitchat
3:00 am bonnieadamson: @angelamatteson ah–you were kidding, right? #kidlitchat
3:00 am wardomatic: @angelamatteson I would have to say that that would be the exact opposite of experiencing Hugo Cabaret. You have to read/view it #kidlitchat
3:00 am dsantat: @WendyMartinArt Tuesday is frogs flying through a city on lilypads. Can’t get more trippy than that. Movie would last 8 minutes #kidlitchat
3:00 am jimhill: @BonnieAdamson I’m sure you mean Silver Age. ;-) Golden was the 30′s/40′s #kidlitchat
3:01 am robin_lucas: FEED (Mira Grant) would be great to see as a movie. Especially with the whole Zombie popularity now #kidlitchat
3:01 am bonnieadamson: @jimhill Sez who? The 50s were pretty golden . . . :-D #kidlitchat
3:01 am dorothiar: @angelamatteson I agree. It seemed really hokey. The book was so imaginative and beautiful. #kidlitchat
3:01 am DHeiligman: @WriterRoss I think it is being made. #kidlitchat
3:01 am SJAdamsBooks: RT @literaticat: I would like to see ALL MY CLIENTS BOOKS made into movies. Call me, Hollywood. #operatorsarestandingby #kidlitchat
3:02 am KatGirl_Studio: @robin_lucas so was Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and that was a hilariously good movie. #kidlitchat
3:02 am angelamatteson: @wardomatic Yeah, I messed that up! I needed something to paint to. Checked out the illustrations after, but it was too late. :( #kidlitchat
3:02 am studiojjk: I want to see @dsantat ‘s June ’11 GN SIDEKICKS made into a film. #kidlitchat
3:03 am WriterRoss: @DHeiligman Hi D! Sorry to ask but which book are you referring to? Tweetchat is messing with my mind tonight. {} #kidlitchat
3:03 am KatGirl_Studio: @robin_lucas lol she’s one of my friends. I read her other stuff though, which would also make awesome movies. #kidlitchat
3:03 am literaticat: In the past couple weeks I’ve gotten number of film & theatre inquiries about BIG ORANGE SPLOT. Cool – but why all of a sudden? #kidlitchat
3:03 am LaurelSnyder: @SJAdamsBooks @literaticat I would like to see ALL YOUR CLIENTS books made into one giant movie. Now THAT would be sumpin’ #kidlitchat
3:04 am abbymumford: SQUASHED is a fav. RT @WriterRoss This Joan Bauer fan is a little suprised none of her novels have made it to screen. #kidlitchat
3:04 am DHeiligman: @WriterRoss my fault came in so late to #kidlitchat I meant SAVVY
3:04 am wardomatic: @literaticat Orange is the new black. Haven’t you heard? #kidlitchat
3:04 am literaticat: @LaurelSnyder That would be amazeballs. BLOCKBUSTER CITY! #kidlitchat
3:04 am braydenhirsch: @SJAdamsBooks I know an agent who does both movies and books and encourages his book authors to master screenwriting, too. #kidlitchat
3:05 am angelamatteson: @BonnieAdamson @jimhill Sounded like a good idea when i saw the audiobox at the library. The author reads it & has train sounds #kidlitchat
3:05 am bonnieadamson: Gotta go rest weary head–thank you all for showing up at the party. Hope Hollywood was listening to excellent suggestions! #kidlitchat
3:05 am WriterRoss: @abbymumford SQUASHED, yes. RULES OF THE ROAD. Could be great coming of age scripts. #kidlitchat
3:06 am jimhill: @angelamatteson Oh, wow. They broke it. I bet the cover looked great though. #kidlitchat
3:06 am robin_lucas: @KatGirl_Studio Mira Grant? She rocks! Can’t wait for the rest of the series #kidlitchat
3:06 am abbymumford: it seems watching any movie preview lately is adding to my TBR list. are there any original screenplays out there? #booksFTW #kidlitchat
3:06 am LaurelSnyder: @literaticat Zombie asberger chickens! Figure skating wempires! #kidlitchat
3:06 am braydenhirsch: @dorothiar Same with Chandler’s The Big Sleep. Great book, great movie ( Humphrey Bogart) yet a lot of changes, differences. #kidlitchat
3:06 am KatGirl_Studio: @robin_lucas do you read her other books? #kidlitchat
3:06 am WendyMartinArt: @dsantat but it would be supremely cool 8 minutes #kidlitchat
3:06 am robin_lucas: @KatGirl_Studio She’s pretty gutsy for killing off her MC. Had to read the part like, 5 times #kidlitchat
3:06 am jimhill: Good night kidlittertwitterati #kidlitchat
3:06 am abbymumford: @WriterRoss seriously, why haven’t her books been made into movies. they’d be genius. she’s a lot like meg cabot. funny. sassy. #kidlitchat
3:06 am WriterRoss: @DHeiligman Oh! Savvy. I didn’t know it was already in process of becoming a movie. I guess I had at least 1 right. <g> #kidlitchat
3:07 am studiojjk: @braydenhirsch I prefer book agent in NY, film rep in LA. both in cites they belong in for biz. That’s my setup. #kidlitchat
3:07 am wardomatic: I’d love to animate pic books, if I could. This guy does it well: Big Fott Studios: http://www.bigfott.com/animated_films.html #kidlitchat
3:07 am KatGirl_Studio: @robin_lucas Mira Grant and Seanan McGuire are the same person. #kidlitchat
3:07 am LaurelSnyder: @braydenhirsch @dorothiar Book—> film is like any other kind of translation. You can lose or you can GAIN in the translating. #kidlitchat
3:07 am abbymumford: now that is a tongue twister. RT @jimhill Good night kidlittertwitterati #kidlitchat #kidlitchat
3:07 am literaticat: @LaurelSnyder And don’t forget the clockwork seamonster boyfriends. #kidlitchat
3:07 am robin_lucas: @KatGirl_Studio Not yet, just got into that series. #kidlitchat
3:07 am LaurelSnyder: @wardomatic I soooo want to see my picture books animated. #kidlitchat
3:08 am KatGirl_Studio: @robin_lucas I read her October Dye books. #kidlitchat
3:08 am LaurelSnyder: @literaticat How could I? #kidlitchat
3:08 am robin_lucas: @KatGirl_Studio Yeah. Pretty awesome to be bipolar ;) #kidlitchat
3:08 am braydenhirsch: RT @abbymumford: it seems watching any movie preview lately is adding to my TBR list. are there any original screenplays out there? #booksFTW #kidlitchat
3:08 am stevenmalk: See you later, everyone. #kidlitchat
3:08 am wardomatic: @LaurelSnyder If anyone gave me a budget, I could do it! I’ve directed animation for over 12 years. #kidlitchat
3:09 am suzlews: goodnight all #kidlitchat
3:09 am robin_lucas: @KatGirl_Studio Great. Putting it on my list right now. #kidlitchat
3:09 am NathalieMvondo: Ooops, am I too late? Party over? #kidlitchat
3:09 am LaurelSnyder: @wardomatic What a cool skill to have. Seems like a ripe time for it, what with all the apps. #kidlitchat
3:09 am abbymumford: i arrived late, but must say, i’m excited for HUNGER GAMES to come to the silver screen cause collins wrote script. #kidlitchat
3:09 am robin_lucas: @stevenmalk Night! #kidlitchat
3:10 am KatGirl_Studio: @robin_lucas Hey I illustrate cute fluffy pictures books and write YA urban fantasy. So I guess we are birds of a feather. #kidlitchat
3:10 am braydenhirsch: @LaurelSnyder Agreed. #kidlitchat
3:10 am KatGirl_Studio: @robin_lucas I did this pic for her from those books. http://fav.me/d3165pq #kidlitchat
3:11 am michcarlky: Lot’s of interesting titles tossed around. I’m off to read before bed. Night all! #kidlitchat
3:11 am dorothiar: Goodnight everyone. Now i have a great list of books to read. Thanks. #kidlitchat
3:12 am robin_lucas: @KatGirl_Studio Awesome to use both sides of your brain ;) #kidlitchat
3:12 am WriterRoss: It’s so rare to see novelist also writing screen play of own work. Different ball games, have far less control of movie script. #kidlitchat
3:12 am abbymumford: and on that note, must dash. another great, lively discussion, y’all. #kidlitchat
