Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, the creative
geniuses behind the Beautiful Creatures series, which is in no way
similar to a
very famous witch novel or supernatural teen romance, are back, this time
with a spinoff of their previous collaboration. The 100% completely
original and creatively named Dangerous Creatures series will star
Ridley and Link from the original series. The first book will be titled,
wait for it, Dangerous Dream. Did you catch it? Did you see
what those clever rascals did?
From GalleyCat “Little, Brown Books for Young Readers will launch the series on
December 17, 2013 with the publication of a digital novella titled Dangerous
Dream. The project will bridge the two series.
The Dangerous Creatures novel will be released
in hardcover print, audio, and eBook formats on May 6, 2014.”
I wanted to like this series and the resulting movie but let’s
be honest, as a KY gal I can only stomach a certain amount of over-the-top
southern racist stereotypes, though, at least the love story was not as cheesy
and vomit inducing as Twilight. The film seemed rushed, though I will say it was
visually appealing, and the accents were terrible even from the usually
talented award winning Emmy Rossum. A least her
character is featured in this “new” series and if there are more movies to come
I can only hope the dialect coaches will be better.
Hi Brittney:
ReplyDeleteI found pretty interesting your debates about the dialect the characters used in the movie. It is totally true, they should have worked on them a little better. The only person I actually believed to be southern was protagonist Alden Ehrenreich (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2403277/?ref_=tt_cl_t1). I have to say that the story was fascinating, and true, Twillight is nothing like it. I believe you since I ready the Twillight Saga and even watch the movies. Considered that it was a waste of time, but once I began I wanted to finish. Plus, I have to add that the visual effects used in Beautiful Creatures Motion Picture were absolutly amazing. They shocked me, I was not expecting the movie to be that good because of them and they totally surprised me, I even bought it. I found a little more information on the next book you said would be coming out on May, Dangerous Creatures. You may find it helpful later on for future posts; here it is: http://www.csmonitor.com/Books/chapter-and-verse/2013/0912/Beautiful-Creatures-authors-will-pen-a-spin-off-series and http://publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/childrens/childrens-book-news/article/59044-beautiful-creatures-authors-to-write-spinoff-series.html
Thank You for that Post it was very interesting and intriguing.
