This sounds like an amazing movie--the books are great and with new stunning technology and effects, I just hope this can be a great hit.

...A.Cirque.Du Freak.Movie...?
**trying to gather thought**
*Freaks Out* HOLY CRAP!!! IT'S LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE! Me,I thought about contacting the real Darren Shan and asking him if he would let me do an animated series out of it (sure it will take me a heck lot of time and work doing sketches,but it's just me) but this is so much better instead of episode after episode, a movie is just, damn i can't find the right words, but it doesn't matter 'cause theres gonna be a movie! I can't wait and maybe since it's only based upon three books and theres like twelve book(recently checked^_^!) Theres gonna be like four movies, right?...right? Well i don't know i'm bearly fourteen and i blab because i blab and sorry if i wrote to much im just...SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS I COULD JUST AND I THINK I AM...hold up a minute **constently girlish squeels**...OK! im back i just had to throw that out off my system, and well yeah! I think this whole Cirque Du Freak movie thing is so going to work out big time. (i only wished darren was a girl so i could act out as him) Well see ya! And this better work out and come soon cause i'm not one of those patient people who hear good news and wait for it.

PS: Thank You So Very Much For This!^-^

I think this movie thing is going to be great... Hopefully they leave in all the goods though, movies sometimes have a way of ripping a book to pieces...oh well it does not matter, I will be there on opening night along with my two nephews.

Its great to know one of your favorite books are coming out with a movie. Darren Shan is a pure genius when it comes to lureing people into reading his books. Universal Pictures are known for making the top sellers. Just hopefully the movie characters are unknown characters so it can give the watchers a clean slate on the actors. If they had some Brad Pitt play Vancha March, it would be kind of odd because of his other movies, and we wouldnt see him in that kind of way. Also, it would really suck if they made Harkat an animation. Keep him a robot or an actual person. That would be cool.

holly....!!! O MY GOD!!!!...... i cant find the right words. hold on. *screams for joy* ok back. dude this is awsome more than awsome..incredible! ive read all 9 of the books 3 times each no joke. i LOVE Darren Shan. every time i read Debbie i'd put my name for hers. whoever is gonna play the role for Darrren better be VERY hot, one that i can drool over every day. ;) oh and when and where will the audition be i have to audition for Debbie (maybe i could kiss Darren Shan)when are the movies coming out? it better be quick. ive been grieving and day dreaming over it. i LOVE the books sooooooo much that i really believe that these stories are true because,just think, the author is Darren Shan and the one that i LOVE is Darren Shan... get it? i know that one day i will meet Darren Shan and let him take me, take me away with him so we can be together forever. ;D I LOVE CIQUE DU FREAK!!!!!!!!!

I really loved the books and I think that it COULD be a great movie. I just hope that they do it in more then one movie instead of mashing them all together.

its me again. i just cant get this off of my mind!! like some other people said :like put new acters and not someone like brad pitt. i totally agree with this: not craming all the books in 4 movies. thats wrong! i prefer a movie per book. that way it would be longer and it will have more details.

I've read all that are out so far and I am excited to hear that they may make a movie of it.

(sigh) im bored. and again i cant stop thinking about the movie. i saw the author on the internet a few days ago and he was nothing i expected. i thought he was the real Darren Shan. i guess i put my hopes too high. but still- i love vampires and i love Darren Shan in the book. when is the movie coming out?! *whining* i cant handle it anymore! im dying here! i NEED to see the movie!! or i can be in the movie playing for Debbie. i would very much prefer that but, i dont know when or where the auditions are. im still looking for them and i will never give up till' i find them!

Yeah, I seem to always enjoy books more than movies. That's because the movies usually leave out so much of the details that help you to really understand the plot. However, if they do a good job combining the three in order it might be worth their troubles. But, hey, I'm just one person and I speculate that many people will have to disagree with me.

OMG!!! i sooooo agree with Kelly! *tears* Kelly,...your so right i could just scream, squeal,or whatever when it comes to darren shan! i also agree with MovieBuff101 it'll really suck if they made Harkat into animation, but i also think he'll suck too as a robot. What would really suck is if they made the movies sucky, THAT'LL KILL ANY FREAKING HOPES AND WILL DESTROY ALL HONORS THAT I HAVE FOR THE CIRQUE!!! But i doubt that'll happen! And if they do have auditions for Debbie, Kelly you'll have to fight me for that role, in a friendly manner that is! But Darren better be a hot MF, i so hope he's someone i could drool all over, just like you said! The lucky girl who gets that role will be so freaking lucky i say, so lucky! Until that day comes i'll just have to wait in vain, and if it never comes...u don't really want to know how crazy and loud i'll get! oki-doky
bye-bie ^-^
ps: uk_kid_69 .... The real Darren Shan doesn't
really know about this?....wierd.....
