I had a request to start a blog where you could weigh in on thoughts about a movie based on The Merchant of Death and to discuss casting. This isn’t to say that a movie is imminent. It isn’t. But I’m working with some folks to develop one now, so you never know. (Just don’t hold your breath!)
So, here’s the blog. Have fun.

Courtney Chetwynde – Hayden Panettiere
Mark – Dan Byrd
Spader – James Kyson Lee
SD – Jason Issacs
Uncle Press – Hugh Jackman
Gunny – Morgan Freeman (who else?)
Loor – Dana Davis
Nevva – Kristen Bell

ethan farina says:
Well. I’ve tryed to get people to see that just finding and casting famous people would ruin a possibility for a good movie series from a great book series. But, whatever. What happens, happens.
Marina says:
Holy cow! Over 1,000 comments!
Flume of Doom says:
Old Saint Dane tried to find his vacuum.
It just so happened that he lost it in the flume.
And back on Zadaa they heard a big boom.
So now the villain just uses a broom.
Mozartghost has seen...THE TOAST! says:
In the Desert of Quahor,
Where the water did pour,
And the savages hunt wild duck and wild boar…
The found a book by this girl named Loor.
And all it says is…
BOY CAN BOBBY SNORE!
Quig Pig says:
Quigs are sly.
Quigs are fat.
Quigs can lie down really flat.
Quigs are dumb.
Quigs like to kill.
But their brains go numb if you whistle really shrill.
I told a Quig about this site,
And strange enough it didn’t bite.
It just saith unto me:
“Watch for Quigs on your TV!”
Marc says:
Where would you hold auditions for the movie?!
flight29downer says:

Challenger Black says:
Welcome back flight29downer! Hope you had fun at camp. You didn’t miss a whole lot, just a lot of discussions and whatnot. And a lot of poems.
John says:
yea flight29downer it seems this is now a poets site or something.
John says:
some ppl are talking bout who should play who but i still think most of us want a fan audition. 🙂
Challenger Black says:
Yeah, I agree, if a fan audition could be done that would be awesome! 🙂
flight29downer says:
Yup thats what I would want cause I would love to try out
cayleycattt says:
Me too! I would want to be Courtney, or Telleo in the.. 8th book? Because it’s small but it’s still a cool role to play. Since it’s so conflicting
John says:

flight29downer says:

flight29downer says:
I gOt bored so I started writing a song
I’ve been flumed throughout time and space
Been bounced from place to place
No answers have been given
Only more been made
My world’s been turned upside down
Nothing makes sence nothing is sound
My world has been completely changed
I’m so confused
I’m just to stay alive
Mostly just running and trying to hide.
I’ve got beat saint Dane and save halla
But….
Chorus
My worlds been turned upside down
Nothing makes sence nothing is sound
I’m world has been completely changed
I’m so confused.
I’m so confused
Don’t know what to do
I want to go home
Want to go to my room
Cause….
Chorus
I’m so confused
My worlds been turned upside down
I’m so confused….
Ok that’s it it’s not good at all cause I not good at writing music but if someone want to help me with it I can use all the help I can get. Also if anyone can write the melody for it that would be helpful. Just post the melodies on YouTube then I can make the fit. This song could be awesome!!!!
Chorus
ethan farina says:
Ok first this was a blog for talking about a merchant of death movie, then it was about poems….. and now for some reason its about writing songs….. I’m starting to feel like the character in flight29downs song lol.
Sandy says:
I really hope a movie’s on the way!! 😀
flight29downer says:
Lol and I decide to try to write the song for the movie as like a theme song for Bobby. Get what I’m fruit to do
Quig Pig says:
QUIG TIME!
A Quig walked out on the street at night.
And gave some bystanders quite a fright.
He didn’t know what to do,
Except to chew,
On somebody’s custom baby seal leather shoe!
AND HE SAID:
“Quigs are cool,
Even though they drool,
Right into your swimming pool!
So let’s see you run!
It would be fun!
The Age of the Quig has now begun!”
So I ran to the store.
Got stuck in the door.
Spilled some lima beans on the floor.
SAYING:
“That Quig’s big!
It’s a PIG!”
Cause it went in my garden and started to dig!
It ate my tomatoes!
It chomped my grubs!
It stacked my potatoes in my chemical tubs!
So I grabbed a bomb,
And lit the fuse,
I told my mom,
“Oh, WHAT A RUSE!”
The bomb went boom!
The Quig met its doom,
And now it’s buried in a custom tomb!
britt says:
im so excited that theres a chance for it to become a movie i cant think straight. and fan aditions would be awesome. and if not dont just pick actors who will look good as the characters they need to be able to act!! 😀 so excited!
Miki says:
Please please oh please make a movie!!!!!!!!
Challenger Black says:
It’s been a month since this blog was posted, so hopefully that’s good news that we haven’t heard anything yet! Hopefully D.J. is getting something ready to make a movie happen 😀
I’m getting so excited. Just thinking this movie might happens makes me want to explode!
Pendrageek 1.0 says:
I think that making a movie of Morpheus Road would be one of the greatest things the world has ever seen! But I remember when I read the books I was thinking to myself, “How would you put that in a movie?” Sure, leave some of the little stuff out, but still leave some little things in that are important. Like jokes from the book. But keep the plot line straight and the big things of the book in. =) Oh, and make a Pendragon movie (same qualities that I listed before.)
Marina says:
@Flight29Downer
I just got back from camp too! How strange!
GOCLORAL says:
@ Pendragongeek1.0
Omg I was at books a million the other day while my mom was getting a haircut and I saw morpheus book 1 and decided to try it out. So I sat down and starting to read but….. my sisters came in and dragged me out when it was saying what happened to his mom.I swear I got SO mad.I asked my mom if we could go back but she said if I found my giftcard and I of course lost it. So I`m tryin to get some cash.
I`m so excited for the movie. Wanna audition for Cortney soooo bad.
GOCLORAL says:
Oh yeah has anyone ever heard tge song allstar? Well think it`s pperfect for the movie. 🙂
miki says:
Morpheus Road?
Whats Morpheus Road?!
miki says:
i would like to audition for aja killan!!
miki says:
yes i do have glass that are tinted yellow!
wierd hah i got those glasses 2 years before i started reading pendragon books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOCLORAL says:
Wow mikki. You have yellow tinted glasses? Where did you get them? Well morpheus road is another book by D.J Mchale and from what I`ve read i`ts REALLY good.
What I really don`t want the movie to be is animated. Animating it would TOTALLY ruin it.
flight29downer says:
I really want to audition for Courtney or Aja. Ahhhhhhhhh I’m starting to go crazy waiting for news
BuggyReality says:
Wow, I’m gone for a week and we get over 1000 comments and an unofficial Pendragon poetry contest.
veelox0 says:
I went to 2 bookstores to buy pendragon books and for whatever reason both bookstores didn’t have book 9 (raven rise) …very suspicious…
John says:
@BuggyReality yea the poetry thing is funny
@veelox0 that is because saint dane is buying them all up so we dont know what happens. 🙂
flight29downer says:
Saint Dane I playing a game
A game that is no very sane
He is buying all the books
So we can not look
And how what happens to Bobby
My first poem about pendragon
Dinah says:
Bobby Pendragon: the guy from Percy Jackson
Courtney Chetwynde: Megan Fox
Loor: the girl who was Catwoman
Saint Dane: Ian from Star Wars
flight29downer says:
No way Megan fox is going to play Courtney she is 25 and Courtney is only 14. I’m more suited to play Courtney then she is
Challenger Black says:
Yeah, Megan Fox as Courtney just wouldn’t work, for a number of reasons.
BuggyReality says:
Wait what! I definitely dont want to see Bobby’s face in the theathers and think of Percy Jackson and as for the rest of the actors… I dont think that will work out. What people have been saying about unknown actors sounds pretty good to me.
Challenger Black says:
Yeah, unknown actors would be a good thing to consider.
flight29downer says:
Unknown actors seems to be the only way to go and that would mean I could audition yay!!!!!!!!! Ya and I haven’t found anyone that would work yet
GOCLORAL says:
I would LOVE to audition for Courtney. Though I am only 11, but it would take a few years to everything.
miki says:
well my school library has book 9 thats ok!!
but i cant find book 10?!
