Hello and welcome, Ezmerelda! You're not alone in wanting a Dragonriders of Pern film here - lots of us do!

Its certainly exciting that a Pern movie will be soon coming, but I agree will it be translated from book to screen well. I hope so, and I hope they dont cast well know actors simply because they are well know, I hope a lot of thought is put into casting.

Hm.....16 months since the announcement and still nothing more.
Looks like they just bought the rights for the hell of it and don't intend to produce anything.

Talysia · 26th September 2007, 10:43 PM

If that's the case, then that's a shame. Seems to me a film like that would go down well.

There is work being done, just not visibly. Anne talked about being happy with the screenplay development so far at EuroCon last month.

lets hope she hasn't joined with George lucas in losing marbles then. if she's happy it might turn out ok, if she's lost facilities then it could become another dragon slayer, or worse.

Talysia · 13th October 2007, 07:28 AM

Anne was happy with the screenplay? Sounds like that's a good start.

Goldrider Thais · 12th December 2007, 04:40 PM

okay! time to get excited again! ^.^

So... any news? It's been quite a while and all I've seen is a tantalizing screenshot that I can't post here because the rules don't permit me to.

do a google search for Pern, you should see it on the first page from fahrenheitdigital. Looks alright, except does that bronze dragon have pupils? Ah well... at least there aren't any excess horns and crazy things.

ghost8772 · 6th June 2008, 03:42 AM

pupils, forward looking eyes, bony legs, and what is with the white belly? reminiscent of deers. hoping that was a first draft of the dragons, and the person has been properly schooled.

Niiku · 6th June 2008, 03:44 AM

Honestly, on the cover of The Chronicles of Pern: First Fall they show the bronze dragon with a white underbelly, so that didn't bother me quite so much. I'm more concerned with the pupils and the lack of spinal ridges.

Talysia · 7th June 2008, 04:07 PM

Admittedly, given that the neck/spinal ridges are mentioned quite frequently in the books, you would have thought that they would include them in the design. I haven't heard much recently about the state of production for the film, but I hope it's coming along well.
