But other countries have been a bit slower. Certain countries caught up with the UK release schedule by the time of book 12, and are releasing my new books at the same time as the UK, or not long after. Q: Why have more books been released in the UK than anywhere else?Ī: Cirque Du Freak was published in the UK many months before it was published anywhere else in the world, since I sold it to the UK first. If a studio wishes to discuss a film adaptation of more of my books with me, I'm happy to listen. As for my other books, I am always open to movie adaptations, but it's ultimately in the hands of the film studios - movies cost huge amounts of money to make. That doesn't mean that there won't EVER be a sequel - film companies do sometimes return to projects after a lengthy absence - but at the moment nothing is on the cards. Q: Will there be any sequels?Ī: It doesn't look as if there will be ay sequels in the near future. The movie was released in the USA and UK on October 23rd 2009. Other actors include Salma Hayek (Madame Truska), Ken Watanabe (Mr Tall) and Michael Cerveris (Mr Tiny). John C Reilly played the part of Larten Crepsley Chris Massoglia was Darren Josh Hutcherson was Steve. Lauren Shuler Donner produced (she made the X-Men movies). Paul Weitz (American Pie, About A Boy) wrote the script and directed it. Universal Studios bought the film rights to my first three vampire books, and combined them to make one single movie, called Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant. Q: Have any movies been made of your books?Ī: Yes. The rest include some books that I am working on for the future, along with some I might one day return to and publish, and others that I wrote when I was young and will probably never do anything more with. 45 of those have been or are due to be published in the near future - you can find the titles in the BOOKS section of this site.
Q: How many books have you written?Ī: As of January 2012, I have written first drafts of more than 60 books. So, if you wish to suspend credibility and believe in vampires and circus freaks, then yes, the story COULD be true. HOWEVER, there's an inner logic at work within the Saga of Darren Shan, which becomes apparent at the end of the series.
Frequently Asked Questions Q: Is the story told in The Saga Of Darren Shan REALLY true?Ī: That's for you guys to decide!!! I don't expect readers to believe that I've survived the trials which Darren in the books must endure, or that the Cirque Du Freak is real, or that vampires exist.
