Author want's a new Alex Rider

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.
