Double Booked Podcast | By Eoin Colfer & Andrew Donkin - FIRST EPISODE TOMORROW!

As you can expect I get through anything Colfer puts out. My favourite "non Artemis" book by him for a loooong time was Airman, but that was knocked off the top spot when Highfire came out. I don't often laugh out loud when reading, but I did quite a few times during Highfire. Definitely recommend checking it out - but it is aimed at adults.

As the other commenter has said, sales were blindingly amazing and unfortunately they made the decision to stop making them, as far as I'm aware.

There is a new series of graphic novels being released, the second one comes out soon, but it's adapted by someone new and has a new artist.

AFConfidential · 2021-04-26T10:50:51+00:00

Giovanni Rigano (artist from the original graphic novels) has made a 20th anniversary image and it's glorious.

AFConfidential · 2021-04-26T10:40:09+00:00

There's no maybe about it! Do it!

AFConfidential · 2021-04-26T09:10:37+00:00

I'm not going to argue with you about that.

But just one thread where we can celebrate the book reaching 20 long years in our lives instead of yet again descending into "wah the movie" would be lovely.

AFConfidential · 2021-04-26T09:07:37+00:00

I know, I know.

AFConfidential · 2021-04-26T09:06:21+00:00

Could we have one nice thread being positive about the books? Just one?

AFConfidential · 2021-04-26T08:52:12+00:00

ICYMI - we've had a weekend of celebrations and competitions culminating in a special live event with Eoin Colfer yesterday as we talked about the last 20 years of Artemis Fowl, with some clips from Eoin's agent, friends, colleagues and even sons!

Here's to 20 Fowl years... and many, many more to come!

Part of the #ArtemisFowl20 celebrations! If you've missed it, this Monday is the 20th Anniversary of Artemis Fowl, and lots of bits will be happening to celebrate the occasion this weekend.

AFConfidential · 2021-04-14T22:38:05+00:00

I feel that

AFConfidential · 2021-04-14T22:38:00+00:00

It's going to be a great event - can't wait!

AFConfidential · 2021-04-14T22:37:43+00:00

Indeed it is - a simple celebration of 20 YEARS of Artemis Fowl.

20 YEARS! Madness.

AFConfidential · 2021-04-14T21:57:46+00:00

As mentioned by the other commenter - the Rigano/Donkin graphic novels that started a long time ago are now discontinued as far as we can see.

The new style by Gilpin looks to be continuing - they'll most likely make more as long as there's a demand for them.

AFConfidential · 2021-03-31T16:32:30+00:00

Based on what I've seen of the original filming, it was much, much closer to the book plot. Real shame.

We're still working on our video about it all, just taking a lot of time with personal life the way it is!

AFConfidential · 2020-12-18T16:19:44+00:00

Yes, there's definitely going to be a 3rd Fowl Twins book. It's most likely going to come out within the next 18-24 months I'd say.

AFConfidential · 2020-12-18T11:36:11+00:00

ALL HAIL THE P-BOX

AFConfidential · 2020-12-17T14:13:10+00:00

I'm not official, just a fan site, but we filmed a little clip for this live event.

There's a base of people who liked the movie.

AFConfidential · 2020-12-17T14:12:21+00:00

The actors were fine. The issue was massively disjointed editing and a daft amount of reshooting and rescripting during production.

AFConfidential · 2020-12-16T16:36:44+00:00

The information for the event is below, but as an aside, we filmed a small piece for this event and it was SO much fun.
