So many of bạn may know that a Skulduggery Pleasant movie IS planned, and the rights to the film have been sold to Warner Bros. However, very little is known about what the actual film will be like.
So far, it has been confirmed that Derek Landy will be nghề viết văn the screenplay, so it is an toàn, két an toàn to assume the film will be as true to the book as possible. DL has trước đó experience nghề viết văn screenplays, including the non-family friendly Boy Eats Girl starring Samantha Mumba.
Originally the film was planned for release in 2010, and to be filmed in 2009. This has since been set back with casting and script finalization this year, filming 2010, and eventual release in 2011. những người hâm mộ still have a while to wait yet!
But the câu hỏi on everyone's lips is who is going to play who. DL has hinted that there will be open auditions for the character of Valkyrie Cain / Stephanie Edgley. There are no rumours yet on Ghastly, Tanith hoặc any of the other characters besides the one and only Skulduggery.
DL has đã đưa ý kiến he would like Johnny Depp to voice Skulduggery, but it has not been yet confirmed that he will. A thêm gần đây rumour is saying that James Nesbitt may be voicing the main character. SP himself is supposedly a mix of anamatronics and CGI, a la the Khủng long in Jurassic Park.
DL has đã đưa ý kiến that he has been in talks with Steven Spielburg himself to direct the film.
So thats it on the updates! I'll add thêm as I hear it.
Ciao!

adriankty How about this SP-Johnny Depp / John Travolta Valkyrie Cain-unknown Tanith Low-Keira Knightly China Sorrows-Angelina Jolie Ghastly Bespoke-unknown

Smileygirl244 SP- Johnny Depp Valkyrie - Will almost defiantly be an unknown (I'm hopefully gonna audition!) Tanith Low - Keira Knightly China - Angelina Joliet Fletcher - probably an unknown Gastly - not really sure...? Also does anybody know when the auditions for Val r? X

AnnaRoseX omg! i wanna be melancholia! http://images.fanpop.com/images/emoticons/grin.jpg

cml999 I wonder when the film will actually cum out obviously not 2011, but maybe soon?

Ladypwiincess Dakota blue richards would be quite good for Val!!1

valkyrie_cainx Hey, Well, I'm not sure when they're gonna be out, but I'm an actress (I've been in a few things) And my agent is looking into it for me! :D Not sure if they're gonna be open or not though! :) Gd luck to ya'll if u audition! But yh, I do have jet black, long hair, brown eyes, pale skin and I lived in Dublin until I was 10! So still have a bit of an Irish accent and can put one on when I want! :) XXX

NeverWas sorry, not out till 2013.

valkyrie_cainx The film? Or auditions?

tanith-low-fan Hi im a 12 and a half year old girl thant would love to audition as tanith low but tink id b too young but id also love to audition as stephine edgly/valkrie cain can any tell me when the auditions are and if they are gonna be held in ireland.Sorry and is the movie coming out in 2012 or 2013?!?

valkyrie_cainx There no news of it yet ya'll, my agent hasn't been able to find anything :(

acri8dmody This would be my perfect SP film Skulduggery - Johnny Depp of course Valkyrie - Dakota Blue Richards, I've seen a lot of good movies with her in it, but hey I'm sure lots of girls would do a good job :) I'll be jealous of anybody who gets this part Tanith - TAYLOR SWIFT just kidding... actually, she could do a good job but she's nothing like Tanith China - idk... I'd say Helena Bonham Carter but she'd make a much better villian Ghastly - don't know Director - Tim Burton Screenplay - DEREK of course!

acri8dmody oh btw people WB is not going to be doing the movie, Derek says that the script was bad and that he denied rumours of Johnny Depp as Skulduggery Pleasant, but I guess that's still possible

Val2222 Hey its 2012 and no skulduggery movie out so not sure if there is one but if there is can someone tell me where the auditions for Valkyrie are as I am a 12 year old girl with dark hair able to act and would love to have the part!!!

Jackie_Contrary I have heard it is coming out in 2013 but nothing has happened I doubt if they will even start filming by nxt summer. I have sent a letter (last week) to derek landy asking about tryouts, so I will keep every one posted. but I bet if we all pester enough her may actually start tryouts. I went on Imdb but there is no info for non members and even then the only thing it has for the non members is that the release date is not set(2013) and they dont have any final actors and the only one being debated is Depp. I am waiting three months for a reply for the letter then I get to be disappointed.

XvR3APERZzvX Honestly here's what I'd like (no Johnny dept Derek denied rumors of Dept voicing SP) Skulduggery Pleasant: David Tennant Valkyrie Cain: Not fussed Tanith Low: Keira Knightly Ghastly Bespoke: again not fussed China Sorrows: Katie Holmes That's it, if Angelina Jolie or Megan Fox are China and/or Tanith I won't bother with it we need beautiful and Pretty not sluts!.

JaydenxevenSP i think apart from johnny depp as skulduggery, i reckon the rest of the cast should be all unknowns it would probably make the film more unique unlike any other like the books, and we wont be focusing on the actors e.g if the rock played ghastly (no bloody way is he doin that) we would be thinkin 'hmm i wonder if he learned that move in the wrestling ring' or 'hes not as good in this film as that thing'. I think we need fresh actors and fresh opinions so that we can view the skulduggery movie as intended, a completely indipenent movie, it stands alone and i know johnny depp cancels that out a bit but you only hear his voice and in the flashbacks they can use a different actor who is also an unknown because ill never call johnny depp skulduggery pleasant, his voice is as far as ill go. Hes american anyway, isnt he? I think that would throw everything out of wack, i think the cast should at least be from the UK, at best, ireland

Dounuts I just want it to come out! I don't care who plays who so long as it is awesome (rock fingers present) I will keep cash nearby and go to any midnight showings.

skull12345 Cant wait for the movie almost 13 and i think johnny depp should play ghastly and david tenant should play skulduggery pleasant. Not bothered that much who plays the other characters. So exsited

Ivy000 Why is the movie not out yet? SO ANGRY JUST FOUND OUT THEY HAVE BEEN POSTPONING IT FOR YEARS!

percaboss I agree with TopGearRules Johny Deep would be perfect for Skuldugary

Emilyklein Skulduggery: David Tennant. But I'm sure that Johnny Depp can do a good job. Valkyrie: No idea. But they had better not consider Kristen Stewart. I actually want them to make the character the right age for once. Maybe Jodelle Ferland? Tanith: Uhhh, maybe Emma Watson? Or Catherine Zeta Jones? China: No idea Ghastly: No idea, but not The Rock Fletcher: Maybe the guy who played the boy in Race to Witch Mountain? If he is still the right age. Which he should be. Anyone want to respond to this post? Feel free to express your opinions! I ONLY FOUND OUT ABOUT THE MOVIE TODAY AND I AM SOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED! I AM LITERALLY BOUNCING IN MY SEAT AS I TYPE THIS SENTENCE!

seeleyboothbone I really really really want it to come out soon but I haven't heard anything about it. Has anyone else heard any more?

IAmDarquesse @seeleyboothbone Yes, actually. Warner Bros. backed out on letting The Golden God write it, so they no longer own the writes. Derek is unwilling to let it be made into a movie unless he is the writer, so he's being extra cautious about the rights to it for the moment. Unfortunately, this means no movie for us. Personally, I think Benedict Cumberbatch should be Skulduggery, and Ivy Animosity/Valkyrie V. Cain should be Val. :)

ValduggeryFTW So I saw on the skulduggery forum page that they asked Derek about the movie thing. Apparently, Derek said that there MAY not be a movie because he let I think it was Warner Brothers and a few other companies try writing the script, and when they showed Derek, he was HORRIFIED. Apparently, they were so terrible that one of the scripts gave Skulduggery a DANCE NUMBER. Imagine that lol! But hopefully Derek will continue with the movie. Stay Positive :)

Meritorious Its ****** 2015 and its still not out !!!!!! Also anyone know a good role for a 12 year old boy with dark brown hair green / brown eyes and pretty tall ???

Cool...

Valkyrie and Xena left the hut to see Skulduggery standing there. Hands behind his back, his fake face looking very serious.
Skulduggery: (sternly) Valkyrie Cain
Valkyrie: (sternly) Skulduggery Pleasant
Both smiled and ran at each other and hugged, Skulduggery picked her up and spun her around. After a few spins, he put her down
Skulduggery: I've missed you, partner
Valkyrie: right back at ya
Skulduggery then turned his attention to Xena and knelled down
Skulduggery: and who is this?
Valkyrie: that's Xena
Skulduggery: (patting Xena's head) hello Xena
Xena: *bark, bark*
Skulduggery got back on his feet...
