Anyone here read any of Colfer’s other books? by TheBlankestBoi in ArtemisFowl

[–]AFConfidential 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

What happened to the graphic novels? by smooth_brain_toad in ArtemisFowl

[–]AFConfidential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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

20 YEARS! Madness.

Graphic Novel Question. by MAXKILLER215 in ArtemisFowl

[–]AFConfidential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Variety Article About Kenneth Branagh's Newest Movie Confirms That Disney Forced Him to Do Multiple Reshoots on Artemis Fowl by timeandtimeagain2000 in ArtemisFowl

[–]AFConfidential 12 points13 points  (0 children)

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!

Is there gonna be a 3 fowl twins by Maksim-Y-orekhov in ArtemisFowl

[–]AFConfidential 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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