A movie based on the best selling children’s book series, The Spiderwick Chronicles, is set to hit movies theatres on February 14.
The fantasy fiction books are the brainchild of authors Tony Diterlizzi and Holly Black. The series – about a family of children who move to the frightening Spiderwick Estate, was picked up by Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing in 2003.
In the film, the children, Simon, Jared and Mallory, discover a field guide to Faeries. They quickly learn that some of the faeries are good and some of the faeries are, well, not so good.
There have been five books published in the series:
The Spiderwick Chronicles: The Field Guide
The Spiderwick Chronicles: The Seeing Stone
The Spiderwick Chronicles: Lucinda’s Secret
The Spiderwick Chronicles: The Ironwood Tree
The Spiderwick Chronicles: The Wrath of Mulgarath
In 2005, the brand expanded with the release of Arthur Spiderwick’s Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You. A sequel series, Beyond the Spidwerwick Chronicles, has also been released.
The movie based on the series has quite a cast (as well as an impressive web site). The cast includes Andrew McCarthy, Mary Louise-Parker, Nick Nolte and Martin Short. Is it on your list of must sees?
