posted by fatcat2000 on Jun 25, 2008

its actually not a bad idea if u have ever seen anny of his seriouse movies like in gangs of newyork

posted by alarocca2010 on Jul 28, 2008

Agreed about John C being Mr Crepsley, and I am sad such a sweet kid is playing Steve. But I think it will be really awesome. Great books. Also, I didnt see casting for Debbie... that would be pretty disappointing if she wasnt it in.

posted by Meamueph on Aug 18, 2008

debbie is in it, but she will be known as rebecca

I've read 9/12 and i'm addicted to the series!!! When the movie comes out, EVERYONE will want to read the books, so I'd read them now while the gettins good, if I were you!

posted by fan on Feb 07, 2009

I rekon this is gonna be good, mabey even better than the books

posted by FAN on Feb 19, 2009

how many movies are going to be?

posted by hapoelavni on Feb 21, 2009

So far this film isn't winning my attention. I love the Cirque Du Freak Saga , but lets face it... the movie looks overdone. Crepsley doesn't look his part-- and I understand that everyone has their own interpretation of a character, but I think it is just too far off the margin. But maybe I am wrong? As far as I know, movies never seem to follow the book.. such as Eragon, Blood and Chocolate, Etc. I hope Darren Shan knows what he is doing =/

posted by Anony on Feb 27, 2009

the series it self is one of the best ones i read so many twist and action no doubt the movie will be great

posted by BMC on Mar 06, 2009

I agree with Anony. I think Larten Crepsley isn't done justice while John C. Reilly has the role. However, the man is a good actor. One can only hope that his skills on screen make up for his less than fitting appearance. As for the rest of the movie, I hope that the it is made as dark, real, and close to the books as is possible. Otherwise I fear the worst for the movie portrayal of one of my favorite book series.

posted by LilyBolt on Mar 12, 2009

Larten Crepsley was completely different in my eyes. I understand about one's own imagination...but I also think that they have missed the mark by a long shot. Like Lily so kindly put it, I can only hope that his acting makes up for his looks.

posted by A.C.S. on Mar 12, 2009

Evra had better be cute! He was my second favorite character in the whole darn thing. (Mr. Crepsley having slot number 1...)

posted by River on Mar 12, 2009

Can't wait for the movie, I Think Larten Crespley should not be John C.Reilly hes a good actor but no...

posted by Dra_hennessy on Mar 13, 2009

i think John Reilly has bitten off more then he can chew with playing Larten. He's a good actor but only good for comedy and this is far from it. If Christopher Lee was young enough, he would be the perfect candidate.

posted by dude on Mar 19, 2009

i can not take John Reilly seriously,i really can't

posted by nickmax on Mar 23, 2009

I always pictured Larten as the guy who plays Snape from Harry Potter. And in the book Daren was twelve but, I think they chose a great actor to play Darren.

posted by Gen on Mar 29, 2009

I'm VERY excited about the movie but i'm very worried i'm gunna be disapointed with the Cast... (John C Reilly)

posted by Angel of Sin on Apr 06, 2009

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

posted by A.O.C. on Apr 06, 2009

ok, well i gotta say this, Josh Hutcherson (Steve) and Chris Massongolia (Darren)ARE HOT!!! i love this book tho

posted by highlandergirl158 on Apr 24, 2009

I LOVE THE BOOKS!!! Cant wait to see the movie

posted by JoRdAn on Apr 27, 2009

Are they only going to make 1 movie for all of the books?

posted by MEEE23 on May 06, 2009

there is only one way we/I can save the movie kill jhon c reily

posted by someguy on May 07, 2009

THe cirque du freak books are ******* AWesome yea how is John c. reily mrs.crepsley he doent fit the charcter

posted by Blood Zero on May 11, 2009

Wow does any body even care that they changed the whole character of debbie. The name and the ethnicity all have to say is WTF

posted by Mrs.Freak on May 11, 2009

I hope this movie is as good as the series, so far i don't think John c reily fits the part as creepsley, and isn't Truska suppose to have bolnde hair, are thye gonna give Salma Hayek blonde hair? I think Patrik Fugit is excellent for Evra Von!

posted by EvraVon on May 19, 2009

omg this movie is going 2 rock. can't wait till it comes out

posted by JoshHut on May 25, 2009

I wonder what book it gets up to? I`m going to die in suspense waiting for this movie to come out!

posted by Skull Wander on May 25, 2009

this movie is gonna rock i dont care if john c reilly is going to be in it i read all the books i really was addicted to all of his books im now reading the demonta series its ok but its no cirque du freak

posted by fatcat2000 on May 27, 2009

posted by cirquedufreaklover on Jul 31, 2009

This movie is going to fail epically.

posted by Jay on Aug 04, 2009

i love the books and john c reily looks the part yes but his voice wont suit mr.crepsly....

posted by april on Aug 05, 2009

Sorry but to whoever said Debbie is not black. It clearly says that she is in the books. She is definitely not Latino. The books are based in the U.K, the really are no Latino people over here anyway.

posted by SamA on Aug 08, 2009

i like the books and all but i think they picked bad actors for this movie so i don't know how to rate it

posted by doannghi on Sep 16, 2009

REBECCA SUCKSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

posted by doannghi on Sep 16, 2009

Look, this is going to be different. Very different, it should be. Don't take offnse. Even works of great writers like Shakespeare and Agatha Christie are not, and should not be used as recipies. You use the source material as inspiration. Remember that, or you will be disappointed ion any and every remake(except a shit one like harry Potter) This is not the Larten Crepsley from the books. It may be inspired by him, but it is not him. If you want things to be exactlythe same, just read the book over again. Otherwise keep an open mind and enjoy the film. But don't be ignorant and expect a work not written, directed or cast by Darren S. to be the same as his books. Its made by different people with their own imagination.

posted by martine on Oct 01, 2009

i can't wait for the movie. i've read all of the books and even though many things are changed in the movie, i'm sure it will be great. I don't know what i was hoping on for the cast beforehand, but i think that who've they picked and what they've made for the movie will do the books at least some justice.

posted by anoymonous on Oct 03, 2009

i know that they've changed debbie and they've changed a lot more than just that but give them some slack. it is hollywood. the movie is obviously not going to be exactly like the books. to tell the truth i'm extremely dissapointed about them changing debbie. but i say we atleast give the movie a chance. i mean rebecca looks kinda cool. overall i think it's going to be a good movie. just give it a chance. and if it's a disgrace to the books then we have the right to complain. but we all have different tastes in movies so it's hard to say. hopefully it's good because i believe that it is.

I CAN'T WAIT!!! I really think that Josh Hutcherson is cool. I also wanna see some vampire interpretation other than Twilight and New Moon.

posted by Hawkfire on Oct 06, 2009

Can't wait. The reviews make me wanna see the movie on opening day.

posted by Hawkfire on Oct 06, 2009

Actually I HAVE read the book, and she is African American so that kid was right. Why don't you read agian? Anyways Bryanna McLain got auditions to play Debbie Hemlock, who will most likely be in the movie....look her up on google...she looks the part to me

posted by matt on Oct 24, 2009

The movie was awsome but some the songs songs i loved in the movie arnt in the soundtrack, i could have sworn there where songs like chealsea dagger and some others that i want to get but arent on the sound track, anyone know why that would be? or have the songs, that they rember when they saw it???

posted by dslove on Oct 24, 2009

i thought it was amazing.I met Darren Shan, the author, for the 2nd time last week and he said that he enjoyed it alot :)

posted by zahra on Oct 26, 2009
