Site Administrator Myr Posted June 28, 2020 Site Administrator Posted June 28, 2020 So, they have made Alex Rider into a series on streaming services. Anyone else interested in this? Anyone in the UK where there is already out and on Amazon Prime? 4 1

chris191070 Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 It looks amazing, but I don't have amazon prime unfortunately 😕 2
Palantir Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 Whoo! and this series is based on just one book (Point Blanc) out of thirteen written by Anthony Horowitz (Foyle's War). Brilliant! 4

They'll have to do decent chunks from that or it won't make any sense. Some of it you see in the trailer. Based on all the little videos they have posted, it looks like they lifted the world building from Stormbreaker and main villan/plot from Point Blanc to create a mix of the two. They also seem to have gone a more serious route than the over the top movie , Stormbreaker. (Loaded with recognizable Brits. I liked the movie, but it was poorly marketed or something). It is also fair to point out that the books are over the top too. lol. 4

Lol - Way over the top - Alex pretty much outBonds James Bond (and interestingly, Anthony Horowitz was commissioned by the Ian Fleming estate to write new James Bond novels). - evidently 'over the top' works too, as Alex Ryder novels have sales of over 19 million. 4

Site Administrator Myr Posted July 17, 2020 Author Site Administrator Posted July 17, 2020 Well that's horribly annoying! https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B08BNKN33V/ It's not coming to the US until November and it's going on some obscure ad-supported Amazon sub-company. I didn't even know IMDB had a TV channel service until I saw this. Just let me buy it, damn it. 2 1

Even as a prime member there is still ads, but they have been pretty low interrupting. Like maybe 5 times for 1.5 minutes each. 5

I do hope we get to see more classic books turned into movies/tv series with great writing and consistent plot to the source material. 3
