Author want's a new Alex Rider

Posted by basketballbabe9114 689 days ago
Anthony Horowitz, author of the Alex Rider series of books about a young British super-spy has said that STORMBREAKER star Alex Pettyfer will not reprise his role as Rider in the next movie in the series, beacuse he is too old. Pettyfer is now 17, while the character of Rider remains 14 throughout the series of novels.


"It was a conscious decision to keep him (Rider, the main character) at that age. Alex Pettyfer is a strapping young man so even if we were to go ahead and make the sequel, Point Blank, I don’t think he would have been up for it, even if the character had got a bit older." Horowitz told PR-Inside.com.

    this is total crap!they shouldn't change the main character!!!since the movie got out with Alex Pettyfer as the main character it should continue to have Alex Pettyfer as the main character!It doesn't matter that he grew up a little!As a fan of Alex at first place i am saying that if the new Alex Rider movie comes out without Alex Pettyfer...I am not going to watch it!

    I tottaly agree if you change the character then it is like a tottaly different movie and not nearly as good as i would have been, i say just stay with the main character and it will be worth it in the long run.

    this sucks, you can't just change the main character, what if they changed harry potter, the movie would suck, that's the same with alex rider, if you change him it would be a whole different person
