"Big Announcement!"

[epistler]

Nearly six months after the "big announcement" was supposedly imminent, someone finally just asked.



Translation: it ain't happening. I'll bet that "inner fourteen-year-old jumping up and down just screaming with glee" has stopped screaming by now. Or at least he ain't screaming with smug excitement. 

Womp womp. Let us all mourn for the glorious trainwreck that could have been.

It's been about two years, which is about the same time it took them to announce the director for Murderbot Diaries. Wicked took about six years for them to decide on a director. There are a lot of moving parts at play for a TV show. It might be stuck in development hell, it might be moving along at an abysmal pace due to two strikes. I'm not going to assume it's going to happen, but I'm not going to write it off until they officially cancel it.

Maybe I shouldn't have said fuck it and eaten the popcorn I was saving.

And if you're right, Paolini really shouldn't have run his mouth off like that. I mean you'd think he'd learn, considering.

Mind you, an important factor to consider here is that they'd be working with Paolini. You know, the guy who eats editors for breakfast and isn't going to allow any changes to his precious "canon". I'd be surprised if anyone in Hollywood wanted to touch him with a bargepole.
