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.

Anyone telling you they had 18 years in the business, and won't tell you what their work is, they're probably terrible, and want to rip you off.

[@edward9643]

​@@WobblesandBean well maybe, however i think her first and biggest mistake was to go with a publisher who didnt have the budget for marketing. If the book was good any of the big publishers would've snapped it up. And maybe they weren't even offered it because she seems to be too much of a control freak.

[@yokosukamxy7]

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.

Denise went on to write many other books, including two more books in the 'Dance' series with increasingly good reviews, most of the reviews coming in from recent re-evaluations. Apparently, the trilogy has more than 67% 5 stars! People have praised how Denise has told an original story - not by any means an 'epic fantasy' series but one that actually comments on society and the downfall of humanity. The problem with this pitch was that the Dragons weren't convinced there was demand for the film because she made the mistake of going to a very unknown publisher for her books. That being said, all new authors have to start somewhere and she may have been rejected if she went to a better publisher.

Well done, Denise! I've watched the trailer for the movie and it looks awful, but only because of the poor production quality. The ideas look interesting.

Hi Denise

[@Fireproofwitchnz]

Did you see her on the red carpet? After she won her Film of the year award? Mega famous.

[@dazediss6629]

She’s a bloody Spiv mate

[@onlyme219]

Did you buy the books?

[@BeepBoopBeep7]

A young goblin named Susie was busy doing her makeup, when Count Anton tooted behind her, so she flew forward into an 18 year experienced director, and that is the problem with traffic lights, so we fit a flow signal...

[@romancatholicword528]

I’ve got a film, it’s called Harry Pothead and the philosophers Scone.

[@weswheel4834]

I see why Harry & Paul call her "Grumpy Woman" now :D

[@myeyesarespiders]

If her book was about Rory's seaweed hunting or Car Doctor's phonelines then she would've gotten an investment easily

Telling insight into Duncan’s psyche, he probably always wonders if he is real or fiction while on the Den.

[@sambou6286]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I love how all of the comments are just references to other episodes that we all know because we’re chronically addicted to dragons den

Why did they stop posting at lunch? I'm starving!

Lunchtime for Americans and Canadians.

I enjoy the lunchtime posts

Ya can't expect investors to give you money without telling the whole story.

[@anxiouscomic]

Still better than the final season of GOT

[@onlyme219]

Have you read Dance of the Goblins?

[@mikafairystar]

I love the IMBD for this movie it’s in pre preproduction yet they (well Denise) has said it’ll go for exactly 1 hr 52mins.

[@anchorsound2]

by the size of book alone, I don't see how. doesnt really matter anyway

[@DeTroutSpinnaz]

She was definitely that girl at school who would screech if you got too close to her

[@JChang0114]

So how soon before we see the film on Red Letter Media?

[@thefilmsett]

A book and film about a society that comes after some kind of disaster. How utterly original

[@noamjen]

She is the perfect example of the Dunning Kruger effect

[@threethrushes]

In an alternate universe, Dance of the Goblins is the most successful fantasy franchise ever created, and J.R.R.Tolkien was laughed out of Dragons' Den for his preposterous pitch for 'Lord of the Rings' which he thought might make for an interesting children's film.

[@veeandness]

The only movie that can compete with Morbius!

[@BeeHatGuy]

I can't wait! Hopefully we get a crossover!

[@onlyme219]

It wasn't a movie it was a pitch to make it one, just saying

[@lmso1367]

@@onlyme219 wut name she give to the movie ? I wanna see the news

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

I think it would beat Morbius by MILES.

[@dachronicalalittlebitofeve6630]

She must’ve walked up the stairs she’s knackered and out of gas…..

[@garrethatch5362]

God this has got to be one of the most cringe inducing pitches ever

[@briansmith5239]

One of the most high risk investment opportunities I've seen on the den.

[@chcarroll5164]

Kevin McNally was in both those films (per Google), my local library doesn't have this book and I can't imagine this movie being made

[@MrMattaiusify]

Nothing but class and charm with the Caan
