I just hope they dont butcher another childhood book like they did with The Vampires Assistant!

[LeMarchand]

I didn't even know this was on the cards!

[Bedders]

Was that Butler using a.... bow and arrow?!?

 

I was so hyped until that point. Now I'm unsure, and this is (still) one of my favourite series!

Disney’s “Artemis Fowl,” based on the beloved book by Eoin Colfer, is a fantastical, spellbinding adventure that follows the journey of 12-year-old genius Artemis Fowl, a descendant of a long line of criminal masterminds, as he seeks to find his father who has mysteriously disappeared. With the help of his loyal protector Butler, Artemis sets out to find him, and in doing so uncovers an ancient, underground civilization—the amazingly advanced world of fairies. Deducing that his father’s disappearance is somehow connected to the secretive, reclusive fairy world, cunning Artemis concocts a dangerous plan—so dangerous that he ultimately finds himself in a perilous war of wits with the all-powerful fairies.

 

“Artemis Fowl” is directed by Kenneth Branagh and stars Ferdia Shaw, Lara McDonnell, Josh Gad, Tamara Smart, Nonso Anozie, Josh McGuire, Nikesh Patel, Adrian Scarborough and Miranda Raison, with Colin Farrell and Judi Dench. Kenneth Branagh, p.g.a. and Judy Hofflund, p.g.a. are producing with Angus More Gordon and Matthew Jenkins serving as executive producers. Conor McPherson and Hamish McColl wrote the screenplay.

Delayed release + some of the acting in that second trailer aren't filling me with confidence.

Looks interesting but...

Why, oh why have they changed the basic tenant?! Why buy a series and then change the foundations!

Disney Pulls ‘Artemis Fowl’ From Theatrical Release, Will Debut on Disney+

 

Disney has pulled its upcoming adaption of “Artemis Fowl” from its theatrical release and will now debut the movie exclusively on its Disney+ streaming service.

 

The Kenneth Branagh-directed film was supposed to be released on 29 May, during the summer blockbuster season (it had been earlier slated to hit theaters in August of last year before getting delayed). It is unclear when the film will become available on Disney+, but it will be sometime in the summer. On Friday, Pixar’s “Onward” became available on the platform, less than a month after it debuted at the box office and just a few weeks after it was available to buy on video-on-demand.

 

The move of “Artemis Fowl” comes as all theatrical releases are being shuffled around and delayed — some by as long as a year — while movie theaters remain closed during the coronavirus pandemic. The film stars Ferdia Shaw as a young thief whose schemes trigger a battle against supernatural forces Colin Farrell, Josh Gad and Judi Dench also star.
