| I have a question. And I'm hoping I have started this thread in the right area. OK. My question is about the movie, "The Vampire's Assistant". I haven't seen the movie yet, but I want to know how many books the movie covers. I have read the first book called, "Cirque du Freak" and I have the second book "The Vampire's Assistant" on my "To Be Read" pile. So has anyone here read all the Cirque du Freak/Darren Shan books and has seen the movie who can tell me the answer to my question? NO SPOILERS, PLEASE! I just want to know how many books I need to read before seeing the movie. |

| The movie covers 3 books.
1: Living Nightmare.
2: The Vampire Assistant.
3: Tunnels of Blood.
The movie sucks....actually is beyond sucking.....read the books and don't watch the movie . That would be my advice . There's 12 books in total . |

| The only thing i know they got right, overall, would have to be the casting, really...otherwise, the movie has a chaotic feel, when it comes to managing the overally good concepts the movie had, going for it, i feel. Which is a shame, since i recalled Vampire Academy trying to fill in the boots of the Gemma Doyle and Cirque Du Freak novels, by Libba Bray and Darren Shan, respectively, really.  |

| Thanks for the input guys. I appreciate that.
So neither of you really liked the movie, eh? Did you find that the movie didn't follow the books? That annoys me a lot when movies based on books don't follow the books.
When I saw the trailers I thought it looked kinda fun and kooky. But if you say it's crap then I may skip it. I was planning on renting it. It's not out yet, is it? |

I'm personally prepared to spare the guys playing Darren and Steve, to some extent, as well as the guy playing Crepsley, as well, but the rest, not so much, sadly, Chris.  |

Unless its Del Toro or Zack Snyder directing, i'm beginning to wish the same thing, Chris.
That's coming from a guy who already knows that Columbus did a competent job, at the 1st two Potter-World movies, at least, too. |

| All they'd be missing, is some sort of Killer Instinct, but otherwise, they were actually good.
At any rate, we need Zack Snyder to direct the sequel. |
