![]() (Oh, got a voice mail from another movie producer… Let’s check him on IMDB… Aaaand… he’s produced two Academy Award winners, better call Vince), that kind of thing. Last year I started getting queries again from various interested parties, including a few that I had to look up on the IMDB, and when I’d seen what they’d done, it was rather mind blowing. (though I was shocked by who some of my fans are out there, including a couple of successful producers and one particularly awesome Oscar winning actor who I happen to be a huge fan of). I’ve not been able to say anything about this for a long time. In ’09 there was some serious interest in MHI from a couple of movie studios. Luckily for me, Baen’s Hollywood agent is Vince Gerardis (currently the executive producer on HBO’s Game of Thrones) and he’s a complete badass who knows how to get the job done. Monster Hunter International certainly fits the bill. Right now is a great time for quality shows on cable, and because of the sucess of things like True Blood and the Walking Dead, other big channels are also looking for urban fantasy/horror properties. ![]() So it is harder to get optioned than it used to be, but now your odds of it actually getting produced once optioned are better. (I have no idea how their business works, I stick with writing books, not screenplays). Post-strike, now Hollywood is a lot more picky and only options a handful of novels. For the novelists, that meant that we basically got paid money to just not sell the rights to someobdy else. You would have literally a hundred books optioned for every one that actually went into production. This just means that there is now a very real and serious possibility that MHI could end up on TV.īack in ye olde tymes before the writer’s strike, lots and lots of books got optioned by Hollywood. Tell your friends and then come visit me while I’m on book tour so we can geek out together. This is just the sale of the rights, so don’t get too excited… Heck, okay, get excited. It is up to them now if they will proceed with a pilot, and which network would be interested in it. It just means that Entertainment One has bought the option to produce MHI. What does this mean? This does not mean that a TV show is actually being made yet or anything like that. (hey, might not be my thing, but you can’t fault her for sleeping on gigantic piles of money, but it illustrates that these folks are Big Time) I am pleased to finally be able to annouce that Monster Hunter International has been optioned by Entertainment One for the possible production of a TV show.įor everything: For TV: You may recognize them from such awesome things as the Walking Dead on AMC, Red with Bruce Willis, and even… sigh… Twilight. He is quiet and taciturn but will speak up if he feels he needs to share important information.No, this is not like last year’s April Fools joke. The relationship disgusts his brother Skippy, who wholeheartedly believes in the traditional enmity between orcs and elves.Įdward is a master swordsman and has a strong sense of duty and family. ![]() Despite his quiet and reclusive nature, he eventually acquires a girlfriend, Tanya, the elf princess. ![]() With his poor command of spoken English, Edward is uncomfortable around groups of humans, though he isn't very talkative even around other orcs. Edward's talent is his peerless ability to wield blades in combat, especially his preferred swords. Every orc has a singular talent, an area in which they are completely unmatched. He is the younger brother of the tribal chief Skippy. Edward is an orc and a master swordsman among the Uzbek orc tribe adopted and protected by Monster Hunter International. ![]()
