The man Scott Westerfeld himself updated on his blog concerning the “fast-tracking” of the Uglies movie.

Here’s what he said:

In the words of my Hollywood agent, fast-tracking means, “it’s on the list of projects that they are hoping to make vs. the ones that will never see the light of day.” In other words, this is not a done deal. But it’s a lot better than being in that other, not-so-fast-tracked pile.


So what do you think of that? Progress is progress in my mind. Visit his blog for more, and leave a comment here stating what you think of this!

According to MTV, due to Dear John’s success in the box office, Screen Gems, the producers of our Uglies movie and the producers of Dear John, is being fast tracked. Read the article:

Industry sources have confirmed to MTV News exclusively that Screen Gems, in the wake of the success of its current release “Dear John,” is developing — and in fact, fast tracking (!) — a film version of “The Uglies” series.
While there haven’t been any decisions made regarding things like casting yet, we can tell you that our source said production of the movie is planned for later this year. That means we will all hopefully know soon enough who could be playing the beloved teen Tally Youngblood in the futuristic, meaningful tale about a dystopian society that places an incredible emphasis on looks.

This is…. EXCITING! That means that they are seriously going to get rolling on casting and crew hiring, because this means they’re starting production later this year! Read the rest of the article HERE.

I drew this extras cover a while ago and just found it on my computer. Hope you like it!
It’s not that great, I drew it a year ago, but I figured I’d post it.

Also, I will be fixing the comment spam issue, and getting lots more staff members soon!

Thanks to all regular visitors who continue to support. :)

My sister and I created this poster for her English project today. Tell me what you think in the comments!

Danielle Panabaker plays Tally, Garrett Hedland plays David, and Lindsey Haun plays Shay. Brian Crain is just one of our favorite composers, and you might notice that Ron Howard directed Angels and Demons.

    Scott Westerfeld just updated his blog with this cover, and the model is an Uglies fan who won a contest!

    RH Mondadori, my publisher in Spain, had a very cool idea. After publishing Uglies and Pretties using the American covers, they decided to go in a new direction. They held a contest, the first prize of which was to be the cover model for Especiales. The guy who won is a total fan, which is great, and he also has a definite Special look. The designer held off on the flash tattoos on the front cover, but he has one on his cheek on the back cover. (Which I don’t have a jpg of yet.)
