Contemporary YA discussion

A young girl finds herself in a reform school after therapy since she was blamed for the death of a young boy. At the school she finds herself drawn to a fellow student, unaware that he is an angel, and has loved her for thousands of years.


Fallen the movie is finally going to be released. Unfortuntley, we still don't have a date for the US release, but it will debut in Singapore November 10, 2016, followed by a release in Thailand on November 17.

The film wrapped then revisions were made. Photos and interviews were released in 2014 and nothing more....that's because Relativity Media filed for bankruptcy.

Relativity's Ryan Kavanaugh has asked Fallen fans to retweet the trailer, so the company could gauge the response to the first footage. The executive is asking for at least 500,000 retweets, "so we can see how many fans there really are out there."

The film stars:

Addison Timlin- Lucinda Price
Lola Kirke- Penn
Joely Richardson - Ms Sophia
Jeremy Irvine - Daniel Grigori
Daisy Head - Arriane Alter
Sianoa Smit-McPhee - Molly Zane
Juliet Aubrey - Doreen Price
Harrison Gilbertson - Cam Briel

I love this series. I hope the movie will be good.

I like who they picked for Luce and Daniel. I don't know some of the actors so I hope the female angels that look out for Luce are right for the movie. They were fun in the book.

I'm not sure about Cam. Did he have long hair in the book?

I know he has black hair. I think it might be the right length or close to it.

I have the entire series on my shelf for ages, but never got around to read it. This will be an incentive to finally pick it up. I actually liked the trailer and it got me interested in reading the books.

I watched this one in March. It wasn't great. When YA books, that are written in first person, are adapted a lot is lost. We don't get inside the MC's head like we do with the book. We don't experience their feelings or get to know them intimately like we do when we read the book. Writers need to figure out how to make the characters more enjoyable and how to bring life to the book.

The casting was ok. The problem was it was flat very flat. No chemistry at all. Not even between friends. It probably would have worked better as a TV series. If you loved the series I would watch it.
