Movie News[]
On Derek's latest blog he has revealed that he is meeting Movie Studious for the Skulduggery Pleasant movie. But remember that there is nothing confirmed, as Derek only wants to sell the movie rights AFTER he has considered all angles.
- "I was in London on Monday morning, meeting with Big American Studio People about possibly making the Skulduggery movie. They were hugely interesting, and very enthusiastic, and they were putting forward their view on why they'd be the best people to make the film. It's early stages yet, and I made it absolutely clear that I won't be making a decision for another few months, but it was a wonderful first meeting. Next week I'm heading over again to meet with another set of Movie People, with the same understanding that I'm not about to sign away the movie rights until I've considered every angle. But still, it's so much fun being back in Movie Mode."

Death Bringer[]
As for Death Bringer, Derek has recieved his editor's and agent's notes on Death Bringer, and Laura (Derek's sister) will be giving her by Friday. On Tuesday ( 14 June) Derek will be giving the second copy of Death Bringer to his editor and the printing process can begin! Even more, Derek is still promising to release a chapter!
- "On the desk before me is my editor and agent's notes on Death Bringer, which I have been reading and thinking about and then applying these changes to the manuscript. I just got off the phone to Laura, and she assures me she'll have her notes by Friday at the latest. Which means that this latest edit of Book 6 will be sent back to my editor on Tuesday, and then we'll go through it once more quickly, and then the long process of printing can begin. (And yes, I have not forgotten my plan to let you read a sample chapter before it's published!)"
