Hi, I know your book for the first time from film based on your book "Inkheart", and I've just finished your second book " Inkspell. We have confirmation from the author that, as of 2016, there were no plans to make a sequel. I understand films rights get secured all the time without anything ever coming of it) So, what I am asking for is if a statement from a producer, director, or similar position of authority in the studio as to why the sequels were not adapted was made? (even though the rights had been secured I can speculate it was because of the aforementioned poor performance and reviews, or that it might have been the lead actor's, Brendan Fraser, star power fading (along with troubles in his personal life). In my searches I have not found any "official" reason why the two remaining titles in the trilogy were not produced. it all has to do with contracts I would assume. We have seen other film series get pushed through even if the first on was not well received. However, it did seem to have an all-star cast of Brendan Fraser, Helen Mirren, Paul Bettany, and Andy Serkis, among others. It was not well received critically, with a 39% on Rotten Tomatoes and 49 on Metacritic. It was barely a financial success ( making $62M on a $60M budget). The first book was adapted and a film was released in 2008. If you like Inkheart, you might also like Films Set In Castles, Films Based On Classical Mythology, Films Scored By Javier Navarrete, and English-language German Films.The Inkheart trilogy was pretty popular in the early 2000's, at popular enough that the author, Cornelia Funke, sold the film rights to all three books to New Line Cinema. On January 12, 2009, a video game based on the film was released for the Nintendo DS.
Inkheart was released on DVD and Blu-ray in the United Kingdom on April 13, 2009. Inkheart received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $62,450,361 on a $60 million budget. Produced by New Line Cinema, the film was released theatrically on December 12, 2008, in the UK and January 23, 2009, in the US by Warner Bros.
