Film Adaptation
At October 2006 the movie company Celtic Rose Entertainment optioned the rights of the series. At a book signing in the North Texas area the author stated that he had sold the rights to the film version of the first book 'about a month ago' (ago from Dec. 2007) and that it was being made by "the people who made the Spider-Man films". He casually shrugged off the question of who was going to take the role of Leven by asking in response 'who here would like to play Leven?'. Currently the movie is in preproduction. As there is no script, director or any actors cast at the current day, it would seem that the film may not start to move forward until sometime in 2012 leaving an early to late 2013 release date seem more possible.
