‘House of Night’ Book Series Hollywood Bound
P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast’s nine volume House of Night series has been optioned by producers Michael Birnbaum (John Tucker Must Die) and Jeremiah Chechik (Benny and Joon) according to Variety.
The young adult novel series is yet another to feature teens and vampires, a sub-genre exemplified by Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight. The conceit, according to the trade, "’vampyres’ are accepted in society; they possess a genetic anomaly that manifests itself in some people at puberty. Vampyres are ‘marked’ and sent to the House of Night, a school that offers training necessary to become an adult vampyre.”
The lead character, 16 year old Zoey Redbird, has just been turned into a vampire and switches schools with all the attendant teen issues plus the vampire factor.
The series kicked off just last year with Marked. The fourth book, Untamed, was released in September by St. Martin’s Griffin.
"P.C. and Kristin Cast created a thrilling world that juxtaposes teen drama with supernatural suspense, using the transition from human to vampire as a metaphor for the transition from adolescence to adulthood," Birnbaum said.
This series is VERY good! I would love to see it come to theaters! :)
i was just metioning to my friends that this would make for an amazing movie! i would much rather heard about this novel then twilight *bleh* i wish i could be the lucky actress that gets to play zoey.
I know right? Everyone knows vampires don't sparkle they BURN. I cant wait for the to come out and pown twilight
I am currently on Hunted, and I heard the 6th book is called tempted…. Well I saw a video on Youtube that has peoples "CHARACTERS IN MIND" for House of Night, and I came across many people saying HAYDEN PANETTIRE would make a realy good APHRODITE! I think they are totally right! I dunno what a good character would be for Zoey, Maybe introduce a new actress???
I love all the books, i red haunted the first day it came out and it was soo nice. I aould also like to see it in theaters. I would make a good Aphrodite. I love all the books soo much, I cant wait till the next one comes out. I read it in school and everything.
holla people of the nerd herd!!!!! omg!omg!omg!i love this series.! i can't believe i'm saying this but,,,……THIS SERIESD IS BETTER THAN TWILIGHT!!!! there i said it. i have all of them and i adore them. i heard there going to make them into movies like twilight and that there's going to be 9 books. the next one is going to be called tempted and fron wat i heard it'll be coming out in october or in 3 months!! i can't wait. i can asure u the day it comes out i'll be at the bookstore right when it opens. i hope zoey ends up with stark and not heath or erik. i like erik but he's gotten all possesive and stuff. i wonder what sh'e going to do about heath and there imprint again. i hope it's not as painful as before but i have a feeling it's going to be worse. well love ya'ss nerd herd and as stevie rae would say."ya'll be niiice" lol. i love this series. you rock pc cast and kristen.
OMG!!!!!!!! i said exactly what you said. search on youtube, house of night casting my suggestion, and then look for STARK!!!!! he is the perfect guy for him. he has that boyish cocky confident look. FYI I LOVE STARKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please, just please with the twilight mucking up house of night. But yeah you tell it sista-girl!
Absolutely wonderful series, however, if Zoey does not end up with Erik it is going to be awful!!!!
OMG finally somebody who thinks that zoey should end up wiv erik !!!!
omg i just read 3 of the books and they were amazing the best books i ever read and there is supposed to be movies and nine novels i cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, where did you hear the whole nine novels thing. I would really like to like to know. Thanks!
Zoey should end up with Stark. He is awesome and is not possessive. But Erik is great but if they end up apart as in not friends, then that would be awful. But Stark is the absolute perfect guy. Oh and where is everyone hearing about Nine Novels. If anyone can let me know, I would appreciate it. I am a House of Night Novels Fanatic. Woooooohooooo!!!
i think the books are fab so it would be so cool to see them come out as a movie
OMG. i am totally in love wit HON series. i love twilight and harry potter and other books too. But this is so much better. It's funnier. i read all five of the books can not wait until the six book. I wonder what zoey is going to do with Kalona?? I mean zoey is A-ya so she is made to love him right?? But to be honest zoey should be with Stark cuz Erik is all Possessive and Health Don't belong 2gether no matter. So any ideas'?? I think this should turn into a movie i would so watch it. Nerd Herd love it. Ya'll be nice to each other. so love this series..
Most awesome series ever. I am in LOVE with Stark! Go on youtube and search "house of night casting my suggestion" The Stark in there is so awesome. I love this book…BETTER THAN TWILIGHT… there i said it. Love ya nerd herd!
its a great book i just finished the book marked. It was a little bit of a disappointement after reading Twilight though. Stevie Ray would have to be my Favorite Character=]
I luv this series, I can't wait until it is in thearters. I wonder who will play zoey?Erik? Loren? Stark? Aphroditie? Neferet? Stevie Ray? The twins? so many ???. When will they be awnsered? When is the realease date?Oh there i go with more ????I AM SO EXCITED!!!I LUV ERIK!!
Absolutely brilliant, couldn't put them down – i finished the first three books within 4 days!
Can anyone tell me what the actor/model's name on the HON website is for Stark? I think the yearbook photo is the perfect Stark! Mysterious and a bit cocky. Total hunk! As for youtube and the perfect cast…I think a lot of people are missing the fact that certain characters need to stay close to the book. Native American for Zoey and Grandma. I hope they don't put actors that are too old for the movie. That is what I have been seeing a lot of. I think the cast should't have a lot of top stars. It will ruin the movie. It needs to be some young unknown actors who need a big break. And maybe one or two known stars. Just my thoughts. But seriously please tell me who hunk Stark is! Cupid never misses!
I think instead of making it a movie they should make it into a tv series or something since there are so many of the books!!! I think it would be nice to have each season about each one of the books that way we could see all of them because i doubt they will come out with 9 movies!!!
I think it would be soo cool as a moive! I like the series soo much I can't wait till Tempted comes out. and I'm already reading 1-5 for the 2nd time! My most fav. charatcer is Stevie Rae cuzz she's blonde like me and not very tall! LOL!
It would be soooo awesome if that series went into movie form. I'd love to see hayden panetiere as aphrodite,,she'd be perfect for the part!!!
i cant wait for tempted ill probably be begging my mom to take me to a bookstore hey does anyone know when there making a movie
