This is the most magical book I have read since Harry Potter.
Movie, please!! :3 Nothing would make me happier than to see Poppet´s and Widget´s beautiful red hair!! This book is LOVELY. If I ran into Erin someday I would just hug her and thank her for such an imaginary journey.
Cirque du Soleil should definitely be involved in the making of this movie. They have hundreds (if not thousands) of talented people who are already working in the world of the circus. And honestly, I'd be more thrilled if there was an animated movie (preferably by Hayao Miyazaki) of the story, although people would feel like that takes the realism out of it, but I was watching Howl's Moving Castle today and I just thought it'd be absolutely perfect.
mirroredhour definitely. i love Hayao Miyazaki's work.
Hayao Miyazki has turned his production over to someone else and the magic has gone, sadly. But treasure the old ones
I was in Michigan when i came across this book in a grocery store and thought it would be a good distraction for the long 24 hour car ride back to Florida and once i started reading this book i couldn't put it down. It capture my mind and made me want to read more. This is the first time any novel has been able to grab my interest till the end. It was an amazing book and I'm looking foward to watching the movie :3
This book is absolutely AMAZING! One day, at Barnes and Noble, the book title and Cover spoke to me. Unfamiliar with the work, I researched, then immediately bought the audiobook. I've listened over, and over again. It offers a "safe place" for me. I can identify with many of the characters, for various reasons. It is a story of dreams, of love, of despair, humor, destiny and purpose. Whenever I'm feeling unsettled, or unhappy, I listen. Audiobook Narrator, Jim Dale, (who also narrates the Harry Potter books), is absolutely perfect! And .. I doubt that a movie could do this book justice; it seems impossible to encapsulate all the delicious nuances in a film. Perhaps, if the film was developed by persons the calibur of HBO's "Game of Thrones," or the "Lord of the Rings" films...perhaps, it could work. Anything less will be a tragic disappointment. Meantime... I'm looking forward to the Author's next book.
She should have been dressed as a reveur.
Mirjana V. But she IS the circus itself.
This made me smile
Such a wonderful escape to a parallel existence...I feel like the
Night circus could roll up at any moment!
Also, I imagined Eddie Redmayne as Marco and someone like Alice Englert as Celia.
This is one of the best books I have ever read. It felt so real. I finished it less than a week ago and now I'm reading it again! I have never done that with any other book before. Shows how special this one is.
Purchased two copies (one for my niece) of the hardcover book (different cover than the paperwork) we both loved the entire story, fantastic mystical writing. Heard on NPR that a movie was projected...when? Glad to see the fan trailer.
Continued success to you Erin Morgenstern. Thank you.
I don't care if it's for adults, it was the best book ever!
I love this interview! I just started reading this book today and I couldn't wait! I started browsing over the internet for information about the author and I found this great interview where she presents so many details that inspired her. Thank you so much for posting this!
I'm reading The Night Circus now in my book group and I'm enjoying it so much. It's just what I want in a book. 😀
I just finished this book yesterday and I love it~ I liked the sort of darkness on the front, yet the mystery within the front flaps was like the caramel smell described in the book. I felt like a moth drawn to a bright light that changes into so many different hues of black and white that I would have to stay there until it ends.
At the moment, I have left my copy of The Night Circus (I found a hardcover for $1.99 at a thrift store) with a friend so she can become enchanted as much as I am~
I am half way through this book and I am OBSESSED!! I'm savoring every bit of it as much as possible and I don't ever want to reach the END! She has moved to the top of my fav's as far as fiction writers go! I can almost feel myself walking through that circus and enjoying all its wonder and smells! Can't wait for he next book.
That's what I think. I finished the book a week ago and after that I closed my eyes, took the book on my palms and really, really wished that they're not going to turn it into a movie. I know it's strange but I like the idea of having such a great book only for myself (and all those who also found it by random bookshopping). Don't get me wrong, while reading it I already recommended it to my friend but I don't want those masses of fangirls destroying my special, little night circus...
I actually think BBC would do it justice as a miniseries, or Netflix. A movie would be too confining and would require too much omitted.
movie or tv adaptation might be good, but in my head (as an aspiring director) I see it as a theatre musical .you can shot movies using black and white lense or add a filter, imagine what it would be like to use lights , just lights to find that affect, I am thinking magic tricks , illusion and interactive stage like in the great comet of 1812. for a movie/tv it would be just another adaptation, but it could continue in changing theatre the way great comet is doing, I think.
I stayed up in the late, late hours reading most of this addicting story, fitting I suppose :)
I would really love The Night Circus to be a movie.
I was a Stephen King, Dean Koontz kinda reader; but Night Circus caught my attention in 2011 ( I wanna believe, now, that "Marco" and Celia had a hand in it 😉) and still find myself coming back to this book- sometimes re-reading it throughout, others just to read the parts that enraptured me the most. I don't believe I'm the only one.
Bare w me, i have a point.
Dreamcatcher Stephen King was one book i also wanted to see the most after I read it, much like this one, but was completely underwhelmed when it did. As much as I would love to see this as a movie, I doubt it could be as magical and captivating as the book.
I found this book in a tiny tiny book store near my home and was first attracted to it because a friend of mine had pointed out an add for it months before. Little did I know at the time but the copy I had bought from this tiny out of the way book store was a signed first addition. After reading this I have fallen deeply in love with it and is tied with The Picture of Dorian Gray for my favorite book
I'm half way done with this book, I have to say I can't put it down. it's amazing!
Celia is actually brunette in the book. I can see Lily Collins being more suited for Celia.
oh my gosh hurry up and make the movie!!!!!~
i read the book...and now im obsessed!! i loved the relationship between Celia and Marco and i hope the next book is a romance as well!
I'm so jealous of all those people getting to meet her in person. And they got in paperback? AAAARRGGGHH! I have to wait for that. Amazing book BTW! Thank you Erin (if you are seeing this, which you probably aren't, but I can dream) for this amazing book. And Alice in Wonderland meets Film Noir? OMG! CAN. NOT. WAIT!!!!! Sound like another winner.
It's almost been 2 years where's the new book? I'll anything by her that's how much I loved The Night Circus.
they're making one. a mock poster was made and it said 2013, but on imdb it says it's still in development. i'm looking forward to it :D
There is no guarantee that will happen. Statistically, it's not likely. In fact, The Twilight phenomenon gained a great deal of attention largely because its mega popularity was so contrary to the norm. Thousands of books are published every year. Hundreds of them are truly worth reading. Yet, only Twilight, Harry Potter, Hunger Games and a very few others have developed mega fandoms. The Night Circus, has already attracted Reveurs, such as you and I, but there's no need to be jaded. :)
@ktbird707 I don't think people who read twilight would have the mental capacity to understand this book.
I loved the book but I'm worried the film will do it as disservice.
Yes! I wrote an excessively long comment, just to make this point!
I wanted to let you know that I used this video in my review of the book. Thanks!
My wife suggested I read this, and I have to say, it's one of the best first novels I've read in quite a while. The style of writing reminded me of Charles Dickens, or as they are inspired by his style of writing, John Irving or Robertson Davies.
The Night Circus...Great Book! Buy it...
I am expecting more works from you Ms. Erin, your first book is nice and I want a volume of it
Such a great author name.
Had a little fangirl moment when she sent the NaNo pep talk today...
Gives me hope :) 6000 words and 30 pages into my story and 26 days to go!
My favorite book!!!! I cannot wait for the movie!!!!! :O
If you haven't read this book you must!
I see Anne hathaway with long straight black hair as celia. That's just my look for her in my mind.
I'm still reading this book slowly, savoring it as much as I can xD And so far, from what I've read, I can see Geoffrey Rush as Hector, but the main person I picture is Christoph Waltz xD
This is such an interesting interview. I always imagined Hector as Errol Flynn, although he obviously can't be in the actual movie.
Love the book! Will definitely read again
Poppet and Widget for the win! :P
You can update and download Widgets lulz
Ha ha you can indeed! :D
Will the movie be released? I just bought the tarot deck.
Amazing book! Listen to the audio, makes it a wonderful experience read by Jim Dale! Erin is an amazing author, she has a very beautiful way of describing things in vivid visualizations! MOVIE!!!!???? aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh...................Tim Burton MUST do this movie!
gmed2 gavSh
gmed2 you can come
Seeing Chloe Moretz in Hugo convinced me that she's perfect for Celia.
I'm guessing you haven't read it yet. LOL!
I hope you do. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope you will, too. :)
To be perfectly honest I only enjoyed the book until I got about half way, and then it just got boring... I just felt that the characters and plot were uninteresting after that, and there was very little character development.
The scenery would be amazing for a film (and was the best part of the book), but a great setting doesn't automatically make it a good book.
i KNEW she was going to say geoffrey rush! spooky...
Wow! I'm struggling to picture this book with Celia! What was it even about??
It's no wonder she named the character 'Hector' then, like Hector Barbossa from Pirates of the Caribbean. Or she named the character Hector and thought of Geoffrey after because he had played another Hector.
Geoffrey Rush would be excellent. Great in the The book Theif
this book was just bleh to me, idk understand why so many people are obssesed with it. i feel very little for the characters and there is no suspence or plot. normally thats not a deal breaker but what was there was not enough to suffice for a good book. i do agree that this book would make a brilliant movie that i would watch but as a book....bleh.
Ok on
I will direct it.
Don't make it into a movie yet! I have to use this for my book report, and it can't be a movie or even have a trailer for the movie.
Only it's not Twilight at all...
