This thread is in updates to stop all the insane rumors going on in the other thread. Here I will collect everything that is CONFIRMED from the words of the EDITOR VICTORIA HOLMES herself. If you "hear" from some random person that so and so will play so and so, or such and such is going to be changed, you cannot trust this, and definitely not at a time like this.
Why? Vicky and HarperCollins are still going through calls with movie companies to discuss taking the project on. This means they are looking for a company willing to provide the funding, the staff, etc for the movie. This does not mean they are finding a director, a writer, or art production staff. This means they are trying to locate a means to create the film.
You want to know what's confirmed? I asked Vicky several questions about this on a recent New York tour. Here's the rub, copied from another post I made on the topic:
oo1. they used to have no hopes in their negotiations for WARRIORS-- it was too heavy and too niche for producers
oo2. however, due to WARRIORS' whirlwind popularity, they have restarted negotiations. HarperCollins and Vicky are currently making/receiving phone calls with film companies regarding the project, and if it is possible.
oo3. vicky has CONFIRMED that she wants the movie to be CGI, with very realistic looking cats-- unfortunately, for fans of traditional animation, that art has become very limited and in a way 'dead' I am confident that with this style of animation, they can go far. SHE COMPARES THE STYLE TO ASLAN OF NARNIA
oo4. vicky also says there's still nothing confirmed, but they have high hopes. a movie will not be coming out in say, the next two years. think later. this is the very PRELIMINARY phase.
oo5. vicky has her outfit all planned out for the WARRIORS premiere. However, she has no clue what she's wearing to her wedding in a few months!
