Step inside the pitch meeting that led to Artemis Fowl!
The trend of YA novels being adapted into popular movie franchises hasn’t been popular in about a decade, but that doesn’t mean that studios are going to stop trying-- especially when they own the rights to a popular book franchise. The latest attempt at this is Artemis Fowl, based on the hugely successful book series of the same name.
The movie adaptation definitely raises a lot of questions. Like did the writers actually read the books or just glance through a wikipedia page? Why is there so much exposition in this thing? Why does the whole thing take place in a house? Why isn’t Artemis an evil genius like he was in the books? What exactly is going on with all this magic stuff? Did we really need to see Josh Gad in Hagrid cosplay shoot a bunch of dirt out of his butt? Who is this movie for?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to Artemis Fowl! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

So let me get this straight. The film takes one of the coolest scenes in the entire book series, where Butler takes on a troll in a suit of antique armor and WINS, and... Just doesn't do it? Even though the scene is practically written for cinema already? Even though it's such a defining moment that it's basically mentioned every time Butler's reputation comes up in the series? Were the screenwriters just allergic to money?

It's seriously frustrating at how Artemis Fowl blatantly ignores how the protagonist wasn't a hero kid but a villain protagonist who was a ruthless mastermind that did have standards and developed into a better person and becoming more of an anti-hero. Either Disney didn't read the book or they did but is so utterly stubborn in their idea of the protagonist being really heroic and couldn't grasp the concept of a villainous protagonist becoming a better person in their creatively bankrupt minds and thus refused this idea.

Fun Fact: Eoin Colfer was pleased with the film, not because it was good, but because it could have been so much worse. At one point the screenwriters were pitching a Scary Movie style Fantasy Parody featuring Lord of the Rings characters which just used the name Artemis Fowl, Colfer described it as "Truly horrifying". Given that the movie was in development hell for 19 years, largely without Colfer's input as he stepped to away to write the rest of the series, we can only have nightmares about how bad it could have been.

@user-hl7sd6yq3w Год назад

Out of all the adaptations I’ve seen where I read the book first, this one made me the most upset. Butler is supposed to be Russian. You don’t learn his first name right away. No one calls him by his given name, they only call him Butler, which is his surname. Juliet Butler is his 16 year old sister, not his 12 year old niece, and she serves Mrs Fowl. Artemis Fowl Sr was not kidnapped by Opal. He was kidnapped by a shipping rival. We don’t meet Opal until later in the series. Holly Short was an elf in the LEP-recon team, and she had very short hair and “nut brown skin.” She was not white. It’s like the writers didn’t bother to even crack the first book.

Why would you spend thousands of dollars penning a script when you had a book? They litterally had a script half written they just needed to rework the book into a movie script.

It's kinda true but not really. Many movie adaptations of books series which already have cult following depend on fans to spread the hype. Harry Potter, 50 Shades of Gray, Twilight... All the movies wouldn't be as popular if not for a dedicated fanbase constantly bothering everyone around by claiming that their book series is the best what happened to world since USSR fell apart and they can't wait to see it on screen. It's free advertising and free consumers since fans usually don't care about a perfect adaptation but a recognizable enough adaptation On the other hand if you can't satisfy the relatively low expectations of fanbase you get twice more negative reviews than if it was an original story Movie adaptations are for movie watchers not book readers, that's true. However the marketing potential of the second group cannot be underestimated. 50 Shades of Gray would never become a multimillion dollars movie if not for the avid fans of the original fanfiction

@kohtahirano4546 4 года назад

Ready Player One was a pretty good book to film adaptation. Sure it wasn't adapted 100% accurately from the source, but it had the right idea for making it work as a fun theatrical sci-fi movie that definitely still pays respect to the fans of the book who wanted to see it come to life.

@seaoftranquility7228 4 года назад

Kohta Hirano. Same for The Martian. But both of those were very action driven books, not so much character driven, which is usually where things fall apart for me. There are quite a few people citing LOtR as the best example of a successful adaptation and it’s easy to see why, it looks amazing, the acting is all good and it sticks pretty closely to the original plot, BUT, I don’t think PJ got the tone right. At least, not the tone that I imagined as I read. IMO the better the writer the harder it is to do an adaptation. Kurt Vonnegut once said that all book adaptations would be flawed because they all omitted the most important character in the book, the Author. I guess an author would say that tho wouldn’t they.
