Popular web browsers like YouTube
and Facebook are helping a new fan base grow and emerge into the next league of
fictional love stories. The Fallen
series is a new adaptation of love and romance between humans and mythological
creatures. These mythological creatures in question are in fact the angels and
demons we have known through the Bible as part of our religious culture growing
up.
Who is
the talented author that created this series? Her name is Lauren Kate. She was
one of the authors struggling to create a new love story with a new focus
rather than using the same old pickup lines for our fanged and bat-like
desires. While Stephanie Meyer just copied the outline of Jane Austen and the
Bronte’s sisters to create a modern vampire romance of the popular Mr. Darcy
and Elizabeth Bennet to create what we know as Twilight, Lauren Kate used her own imagination to bring the book of
Genesis to life. Moreover, the usage of twitter and Instagram also encourages
the use of technology and advertising the Fallen
series through Facebook pages such as ‘Fallen Books’ or the Instagram account
LaurenKateBooks.
Through
the use of internet as a medium for advertising and creating a growing fan base
of people who have read this particular series, it’s no wonder that Disney was
interested in creating an empire of fallen angels for those who did not enjoy
the vampire empire of Twilight.
Disney and Lauren Kate have agreed to filming rights for the first novel but
they are waiting for the blockbuster success. However, once they are able to
determine how successful this movie has done when it comes to theaters in 2015,
they will agree to the rights for the next three books. The director they have
chosen is Scott Hicks, who made The Lucky
One with Zac Efron as the leading star.
Movie
adaptations are the closest to technological advertisements that some movies
could achieve such as the Twilight and
Harry Potter franchises. But this
franchise will hopefully allow more people to learn that love truly never dies
once the media has picked it up by storm. If you want more information on the
books or the movie, go to the books website through Random House publications
or go to Lauren Kate’s website. To find out about the upcoming movie, look for
interviews with the actors or Scott Hicks on YouTube or through other
databases. Bon Appetit!
