Luciano was my favorite too, as you might've been able to tell.

Haha, you should have seen the boards in the old days... practically every single girl on there (and let's face it, we were mostly girls) had an enormous crush on him. There were entire threats dedicated to him and his fictional assets.

Lol. Glad I didn't see that.

Mary Hoffman · 19th April 2009, 10:33 PM

Welcome back, Tru! You might all be pleased to know I have at last finsihed the first draft of City of Ships - just some tidying up to do and submit by end of the month. But it's my birthday tomorrow and I'm thinking of taking the day off.

Glad you liked Matt.

Hi!
First of all, I'm new to this whole forum thing, so sorry if any posts or anything go a little weird.
Second, awesome news! I keep re-reading them all so far. City of Masks is my favourite so far though.
Third - I'm asking on this thread because I don't know how to use this site yet so I can't search for this topic, but is there anymore news on a possible movie of City of Masks yet?
Finally - Just to say how amazing your books are. The characters and the plotlines are so .. addictive! for want of a better word! Can't wait until the fifth one is done now!
Angie.

Welcome, Angie H! I'm honoured to be the subject of your first post. There is absolutely no news on the film front, except that my agent has changed dramatic agents so we might get a better chance. The new peopel say there just isn't the money around for expensive CGI + live action films.

Thank you for liking the books so much

Mary

TruBellezzan,
that is so cool being able to go back and remember you learned all your information from a histroical fiction book. Yeah my friend had gone to italy on a school trip and I was SO jealous it wasnt funny. I wish i could hvae gone!!!
I like Matts point of veiw but my favorite charater is Caesar! i know he wasnt a travelre but he was still a great character! I was so glad he was in the fourth book!
Will he be in the fifth?

Happy Birthday!! (Even though I'm two days late).

Angie_H · 22nd April 2009, 11:15 PM

Wow, good luck with the new agent! An thanks for the welcome!
And I think it's fantastic how you have and use this forum! It's alot more personal and it's wonderful that you're connecting with fans (like me!!) like this!!
I hope there will be a film. I've read a few old posts on the old forum where people have said things about who they'd want to play each role, and I think maybe unknowns as Arriana and Lucien are a good idea. Saying this, I could slyly slip in here that I'm an actress myself - nothing major - but Arriana would definitley be my dream role!! Haha - shamelessly plugging myself there!
But it's a nice day dream anyway, so fingers crossed that it might happen someday, even if I am wayyyy too old to play Arriana by then!
and Happy Belated Birthday!!

Angie.

Angie, perhaps you will be the right age for Silvia by the time there ever is a film! There is no news on that front, I'm afraid. But I'll announce it here and everywhere if there ever is.

Thanks, Martina, and to everyone for their birthday wishes. I had a lovely sunny day for it.

Angie_H · 23rd April 2009, 10:54 PM

Haha! It'd be an honour to be involved with anything to do with a movie!
Although it'd probably be very hard to try and match the amazing worlds you've created in the books to anything on screen!

What is it about your books that make a movie almost out of the question?
