I haven't read the series of this book except the first one (which was extremely slow and tedious to get through), but the series has a large amount of followers who rave about it (minus the first book, it seems to get bad reviews and after reading it, I can see why. I need to read the rest of them to base my judgement).
A really interesting idea that Hollywood was finally coming up with to develop this series has been stopped because the company thinks that it's too "risky", so instead, they're going forward with multiple sequels and remakes. Again, wtf?
The idea behind how this series was going to be released was pretty original. They were planning on doing 3 movies with a TV show in between filming each movie (2 seasons), that would tie it all together. It was going to be with the same actors and everything. I believe there are 10 books in the series, I may be mistaken and haven't looked that up so don't get crazy on me, but what a better way to get all of the information out without having to make a thousand movies or cut out so much detail that would take away from the story. Directors and screenwriters aren't making any new stories because it's all been told before and are more worried about making the money than putting out something of good quality not knowing if it will be a huge blockbuster or a cult classic. Honestly, cult classics are usually the ones that we watch over and over again and the "blockbusters" come and go. I just wish that they would take risks more because in the end, they usually pay off. Sometimes, not so much, but until you try, how will you know? I guess that can be said in all things in life, but I'm speaking solely on the entertainment industry.
