So, I’ve been working on the first draft of the Artemis Fowl Podcast scripts for a few months now and... Disney REALLY doesn't have an excuse!
Its so freaking easy! The story, the structure, the characterisation, is all done for you! Yes, add in new lines. Add something new that the fans haven't heard before. But don't hammer it with a dead fish until it becomes some twisted fever dream of a YA Novel, written by someone very clearly on Ketamine.
I’m not just saying this as a fan of the books. I’m saying this as a writer. I am f*cking incensed by this dumpster fire of a franchise start-up this movie tried, so very hard, to be.
It all comes down to respect. There was no respect for what Eoin Colfer created and the world he built. The project was ruled by executives that felt they knew better and that is the saddest thing about it.
In the words of Goofy, Disney can go feuuk itself.
