It saddens me that it wont be happening. I must say that i loved the series and even concocted a sound track for The Magicians movie, including “Uprising” by Muse for the battle against Martin and “Hotel California” for the bar in Fillory.

Just finished listening to The Magicians on audio book and kept thinking to myself “I wonder if anyone has thought of adapting this to the screen.” Sorry to hear it hasn’t worked out thus far. Good luck in getting there eventually! I look forward to picking up The Magician King next.

As I read “Magicians” the first time, I envisioned it as a movie. I gave actors, real or fictional, to each of the characters. I imagined the landscape, the faces of the characters when they said nothing, the cuts of the camera from sentence to sentence. I fell in love with it. It was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Lots of depth, great story, and it was told well visually.

This book deserves a film. It deserves a film from a director and a producer who see the vision of the book. Who have read the book 10 times, who know it by heart. And most importantly, they must understand the nuances of the silence, and put that in screen as often as possible.

I think this would be a better script for a movie series anyway. I always hate when television has to drag out books and add stories that were not intended to be there. Take it to the silver screen!
p.s. I LOVE the books

I’m teaching 80 students right now. Two of them watch non-recorded television. I really want both books to be made into a series of movies. They deserve no less.

I agree with the past few people, in that, I would hate to see such a rich piece of literature(and that is exactly as I see it) to be half-assed. When something else does come along… Suggest open auditions! I’m a young actor, and it would be dynamite to be a part of these books on screen. I think great success could come from new faces, much like they did with Girl with the Dragon Tattoo… Though, come to think of it… Roonie Mara would be a pretty stellar Julia… Though she is a bit old for the part… Anyway. Rant over. Good luck, can’t wait for the next book!

I understand the disappointment. I hope it might make the author feel just the littlest bit better to know that there are readers–me among them–who dread a favorite book, so vivid and specific in one’s own imagination, being made into a tv show or film. I’m glad I get to keep “The Magicians” as it exists on the page and in my head just a little longer. And you know what? I bet I’m far from the only one.
