Every time I do an event and open the floor to questions one of the first questions I’m asked is “Will there be an Invisible Fiends movie?” and I always reply in the same way, with a firm, categorical “Search me.”
This evening, though, I was involved in a call which could mean a movie is at least a step closer. It’s all top secret, hush-hush stuff, and I can say nothing else about it right now, other than that the call went very well, and that I’m really rather excited about the whole thing.
The whole thing got me thinking – if there was a movie, who would play the characters? My son, Kyle, wants to play his namesake, the hero of the book. Fiona wants Johnny Depp to play Kyle’s dad (but I don’t think she was referring to the movie there, she meant in real life).
I’ve got no idea who’d make a good Mr Mumbles, though. Anyone think of any actors who might be able to play old stitchface?
Danny DeVito?
I can see a face for an actor, but I can’t remember his name… I’d be delighted if an Invisible Fiends movie came out! I’d force my friends to go see it with me!
