Demonata progress
07 November 2024A little update on the Demonata TV adaptation.
The team (Max and Ijaz) have been working hard on scripts for the last few months, and have now sent a bunch to me, for me to read through, comment on, and tweak or alter. Once I've done all that, I'll send the scripts back, and they'll go through them again, then maybe I'll go through them again, then maybe they...
Once we're all happy, we'll be moving on to the next stage, where we start shopping the scripts around in search of the people with the money to turn our dreams into a reality.
Please don't go getting TOO excited -- it's still very early days, and we're going to be beavering away on the script for the next few months at least, I would imagine. I just wanted to let you know that we ARE working away hard behind the scenes (well, Max and Ijaz have been working hard -- so far I've just been sitting in my high-backed chair, stroking my chin like a Bond villain!!!). I don't know if we'll get anywhere with this, but if we don't, it won't be for want of trying...
Keep those fingers (or claws or tentacles if you're a demon) crossed for us!!!
p.s. the structure of the series has yet to be determined -- we're looking at possibly structuring it the way the books were structured, so we do Lord Loss as four episodes, then Demon Thief, then Bec. But we might also mix things up and take a different approach.
Comments
Currently rereading them all for the first time in over a decade (already on Slawter!) and they still hold the same magic that they did for me then.
So exciting to see you talking about a potential tv series. The structure you talk about is a fan’s dream! It’ll match the fast pace of the books while still giving ample time to dive into details. Claws crossed for you!
