Anthony Horowitz Talks About The Transition From Book To Screen | Behind The Scenes | Alex Rider

[@PrimeVideoUK]

Which Alex Rider book was your favourite?

[@femalefoxythefox4034]

All of the Alex Rider series is my favourites.

[@tylerhaines2023]

I got into Alex Rider by accident really, and it was the best accident ever... In primary school we had to write a book report and the teacher selected many different books from the library, I got to class a little too late so I missed out on books like Roald Dahl ones for example. so I was left with 3 books to choose from and among the 3 was Alex Rider Point Blanc.. I figured id give it a shot and it was the best decision i made. I love the TV series so much I can not stop watching it, such a great job has been done and I can't wait for more information on Season 2, I really hope it ends up being Skeleton Key

[@annalinemeier4388]

Eagle Strike was one of the best books for me because it was well-thought out in that it utilised a lot of Alex’s innate creativity rather than whipping out a gadget. He had to rely on his skills to get out of the “game”, and while his bicycle was a gadget, it was used intelligently by Alex, rather than it being a deus ex machina. I rather liked Scorpia and Snakehead too, as it revealed a bit more about John Rider’s past.

[@femalefoxythefox4034]

@DFK Productions I did love the book but I didn't like Mrs Rothman.

[@sirbobiyer4214]

Scorpia

[@therookiezpresents]

i found out they made this into a series this year and quickly it became one of my fave shows ever. read the books growing up and was so obsessed, so to see this amazing adaptation was truly so exciting. we want season 3!

[@edwinicq]

it's nice that the author speaks very highly of the show

[@joshuab8405]

I hope they continue the series... It was so good! The cast was fantastic!

[@AngelLikesArt]

If you hadn’t heard, series 2 is coming out in December!

[@joshuab8405]

@@AngelLikesArtI hadn’t, but ty for letting me know!

[@bytemegga]

Wow I've never expected to actually see the man behind the books much less an live action version of the Alex Rider series. Picked up Stormbreaker way back in 2007. Great to see this!

[@kalinerys558]

I was excited to hear about this, since I still love the books (especially Yassen who is my favourite character in the series) and have proudly infected the next generation with the obsession. Sadly, I don't live in the UK and it was a huge letdown to realize that I am unable to watch this at the moment. I hope the rest of the world gets to experience this soon, too.

[@yasuke7551]

Can i just say. It is nice to see a writer appreciate an adaptation

[@sangeeta]

I grew up loving these books and just started watching the show and I’m so pleased with it! I think the casting is great and the stories are adapted well. Excited for more

[@baku2461]

I love this show so much! I only wish there were more seasons... I've watched all three seasons at least 4 times so far and will likely continue to re-watch it. There aren't enough shows like this. It is perfect in every possible way

[@grantwallace1882]

This 47 year old teenager absolutely loved this......Roll on season "!!!!

[@DL_2021]

Alex Rider is my fav show, both season just excellent, cant wait for season 3

[@randomvideosx1601]

Season 3 please 💅💅

[@hollyherbert1999]

So excited to watch this! Loved the books

[@williamcreighton9166]

If there is a series 2 I really hope it's skeleton key I hope they keep it in the order of the books love the series

[@antimaster1007]

Just fiinished season 2. Iam so glad they nailed it this time after the terrible movie. Cant wait for season 3!

[@justinbarton8808]

Much better than that cheesy movie

[@kara9543]

the movie wasnt terrible.. quite opposite, it adapted book in all its cheesy ways.... show adapted books in more mature, darker, realistic tone...

[@CharissaPianos]

Can't wait to see Sabina

[@Battechofficial]

Charissa Lim RIP I feel you

[@sirbobiyer4214]

They replaced her with Ayisha

[@jamessmellybelly3795]

Yes she’s my favourite character

[@TheCockyUndead]

tag yourself. i'm anthony horowitz being absolutely giddy that his books are finally being adapted properly.

[@kara9543]

MOVIE was a proper adaptation.... if u read book, u must know, that all cheesy things there was also in the book. Lets say, We now have mature, dark realistic one and it s better.

[@littlesis7641]

my fave is scorpia because it gives you more of the spectacular storyline of Alex Rider

[@fxmaaa555]

Can you please make movies of The Power of 5 series? I absolutely love them!

You gotta love how the lead actor was a fan of the books

[@RichardDuryea]

I didn’t know about this show till this last week. And I binged it. I loved the books and I look forward to season 2.

[@DropDeezDrops]

First season was amazing. When's the next one coming out?

[@AngelLikesArt]

This December!

[@Empress-l6k]

Please make season 3!!

[@thelostgirl101]

I loved the series and just started reading the books. If only they'd do something similar for Artemis Fowl as a series.

[@zmatin8792]

Definitely

[@yumi8351]

I just brought the newest book nightshade and I’ve only read 150 pages and it’s amazing already I’m like wow

[@gunner-o6o]

When is series 2 coming out please?

[@alvinlibra115]

Love this series! Wondering how many episodes is the Season 1?

[@grantwallace1882]

8

[@browneyes2674]

If no one else will then I’m going to say it: Alex Rider makes me want to become a spy

[@miloscott6617]

Is it free? To watch? I would love to watch the tv adaptation of one of my childhood favorite series!

[@What-bg7ex]

The books are my life.

[@A3Timo]

Does someone know where the Point Blanc Location is? Its supposed to be in the Romanian Alps however i didnt find the exact location.

[@minhajnizam5090]

Swiss Alps in France

[@OneGVR]

Personally I love the books 📖 they actually get me proper hooked and I can’t let go . But I’m gonna be honest I don’t remember kyra in the books

[@samuelfinkelstein8099]

Season 2 was awesome!!! Girl who plays Jack is eh

[@yasirparvez9750]

am i the only one who has never read a best selling novel?

[@liamkinnaird8229]

You have a Dune profile picture :)

[@Becjade]

I’m the same for many best selling novels. Not someone who likes reading

[@thewolverine9062]

Seems like they’re adapting every other book, missed stormbreaker and missed Skeleton Key

[@muhammaddaya7868]

Russian Roulette anyone. Its my favourite

[@SJHFoto]

Am i the only one that can't stand this series? SO many things are changed from the books! Operation Stormbreaker was silly (the movie I mean), but the characters seemed much more spot on

[@charlesmento5968]

He ruined his own premise from the best books ever written. Added a girl, aged Alex up, bad casting, skipping Stormbreaker entirely, bad bad bad

[@noyes715]

Kyra was in the books you know

@@noyes715 Which book? And I don't believe you so let me know which book and maybe it was ONE book? I don't remember her at all.

Sorry but you're alone in that opinion ;)

@@biancavegter5488 oh you did a survey? How do yo know I"m alone. I might be one of the only ones that watched it in my state! I hope it gets cancelled or totally put in the hands of an entire new team and new casting. Awful.

[@wyn2480]

Anthony Horowitz is a pathetic plagiarist! Anyone ever hear of the movie Disturbing Behavior 1998 or the original Stepford Wives written by Ira Levin (1972)! Movie with Katherine Ross (1975) based on his book? Revenge of the Stepford Wives (1980) or The Stepford Husbands (1996). Remake Stepford Wives in (2004). Catching the drift? Not very original!

[@allergictohumansnotanimals5671]

bye

[@joebloggs6922]

No. I’m not catching your drift. Please explain what you mean?
