What Stephenie said…

by 37 Comments

I get a lot of questions about movies.  And TV shows.  And just Hollywood stuff in general.  And I always do my best to address those questions here (and elsewhere), but yet the questions remain…

That was one of many reasons I was SO happy to wake up to find this absolutely awesome interview with Stephenie Meyer this morning.

Want to know where/how/when books get turned into films?  Don’t take my word for it.  Just put me down as a ditto for what Stephenie said.

  1. I would personally prefer no movie… weird, I know, but I don’t want to ruin the way I picture the books in my own mind!!! But I would definatley go see it if it were a movie:-)

    • That is really a good point! I love the books and how I picture it and also I don’t want it all changed. I have a certain idea for each character but a movie would be really cool if there was a movie and I would tots see it and would be like counting down the days, hours, minutes, and seconds!!!

    • Yea I feel the same way. I love the books the way they are. I have my own view of what the characters look and sound and I don’t want that changed!!!!

      • I totally agree with the people who say the books shouldn’t be turned into a film it takes away from the imagination aspect of the books

        • I agree with the people tht say it would ruin the imagination of the books but the movie could also perdusade people to read the books. But me personally it would ne AMAZING if they were turned into a movie.

  2. I know you don’t like to talk about movies Ally but sometimes we just can’t help ourselves because we daydream about the movies!!!! I was wondering if you and Stephanie Meyer are author friends?

  3. That would be SO cool if the gallagher girl books got turned into movies!
    But they would have to make sure that they get all the characters right. It makes me so mad when
    they ruin all the characters. I love movies, but sometimes they are just ripped off. Like in
    The percy Jackson movie- The Lightning theif: AHHHH! Totally did not follow the book.
    the ruined it in my opinion.
    O well.
    Guess not everyone can do things as good as ally can!

    • I totally agree! I loved the Percy Jackson books but the movie was so wrong. When movies are closely related to the books then they turn out great, if not then…ya.. they aren’t as good. But Ally if your books do get turned into a movie I’m definitely going to see it! Wouldn’t miss a chance to see Zach in real life!

      • I don’t know if I would want to see Hollywood’s interpretation of Zach… I have a feeling he wouldn’t be as Zach-like in a movie. Of course, I’d still go see the movie.

          • Yeah good point the character images in my mind would be different than what was on the screen and it would be hard to get them back.

  5. Thanks! It’s great that you take the time to inform us 🙂 You’re the best author ever! Can’t wait for HS3 and GG6 <3 Have a nice day!

  7. A movie would be great for the Gallagher Girls! Since this is the last book in the series, a movie would have something to look forward to!! 🙂

      • Hey guys. This is my first post in this website. I’m Natalie/GallagherGirl’s little sister. Now currently on GG #5, not 4. I love these books. They’re one of my faves. How’s GG #6 coming along, Ms.Carter?

  8. sorry if my spelling sucks i am wearing a cast/sprain thing on my hand(even though i dont need to). Every 2 months I face a fear that I have(which is a milion!) and this time is wearing an ugly cast/sprian tingy for a day… so ya………ANYWAY I hate how when books are made into movies the movie ruins the book i mean seriously. So I personally don’t eant your boooks into a movie(t.v. show maybe since they follow books better) But it is your choice haha Also I agree with some of the people who wrote up there ^^ I would still count the hours minutes and seconds till it comes out! 😀

    P.S.S. This thing makes it hard to tyoe geez.

  11. i persinally dont think i would be cool in a movie or tv show becuse i love how the charcters look in my mind (espescailly Zack!) i do wish there were more books though…

  12. It would be sooooo amazing to see the GG’s in theaters, but they always end up changing the books so much, and sometimes totally ruin how you think the characters look in your mind.

  15. Hey, so agree about not wanting it ruined, but I would also think it is really cool and would go to the premier. Does anyone else think it would be coool to have the opportunity to audition for one of the characters? I really with I could. I wonder if their is anyway to have a fan do a send in audition for the role. Does anyone else think that would be cool.

    • omg that would be cool!!!
      if i have to audition 4 a character it would be bex !!!
      i just love how ally describe her in the books!and she is jus like me .will just to say am not a spy yet!!
      but that would be amazing if they let maybe 1 fan audition!!! sooooo cooool!!

      • If I were to audition I would want to audition for cammie or Macy but most likely cammie because in really life I usually have the same feelings as her and would probably be able to get in character easier and my real name is Cameron so it would be cool

        • i think i would want to audition to be Macey. i could do a really good Macey, and i wish i could audition! Hey Ally, do you think you could post on your website when their is an audition for the Gallagher Girls movies?

  17. Ok so I konw people are saying about how it could ruin the aspect of the book but i mean it is your vision and your way on wether you want the series to be movies or tv show.It’s not anyone elses but yours you make the desicion not anyone else cause no one csn make you if you dont want to. But if you did make a movie please dont make it like the ones where the do one and none of the rest. Also it would be really COOL.
    ~LOVE,
    CAMERON
