more movie news

From the looks of this blog, we’re spending as much time with movies as with books these days. But just like with adult titles, if it’s a good teen book, someone is going to want to make a movie of it.

The first one coming up is Rick Riordan’s The Lighting Thief – renamed for the movie as Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. It is coming out in the first part of February 2010.

The second one that I found out about today is the movie version of Alex Flinn’s Beastly. With the cast on this including Mary-Kate Olsen, Vanessa Hudgens and Neil Patrick Harris, it should draw in an audience beyond those who are familiar with this modern day retelling of The Beauty and The Beast story.

We have both of these titles in the media center, as well as the rest of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and Alex Flinn’s newest fairy tale inspired story A Kiss in Time.

The Lovely Bones

The latest in the book to movie trend came out this weekend – Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones. I saw the trailer when I went to see New Moon. It is gorgeous, but some of it really creeps me out.
