    The reason why it failed is because Denise along with Count Anton and his army of goblins were in a strange town called Budapest. They get to a traffic light and their satnav says "tUrN rIgHt", they have to turn right, but what tells them there's oncoming traffic? In London this is no problem since they have flow signals there, but what if you go to Greece, a destination well known for its lack of flow signals? Well all Denise had to do was fit a Shuc Flow Signal to her book. It's amber in colour, it's mimicking the traffic coming into the junction. Thanks to this invention, the goblins will be able to make it to the Danube to meet Rory so they can catch seaweed together.

    @Evilgidgit4Ever 2 ปีที่แล้ว +335

    So breaking this down - she has a published book that had poor sales, with a publisher whose only other presumed success was with his own book, a cinematographer who claimed to have 18 years in the business yet could not tell Denise any of them, and a mystery actor who wanted a million pounds, which took a huge chunk out of her already small budget, whilst his name couldn't be divulged for legal reasons. Denise has either been taken for a ride, or she is grasping at straws to fulfil her dream.

    I feel like the high fantasy world she is trying to portray, both in her book and the movie, is extremely difficult with even the most esteemed actors and a high budget. This is already evident in her extremely low book sales; why on earth would she think to make a movie based on it? Absurd.
