Sisters Grimm Series In The Works
Posted by Rodneyon 19. 06. 2007in News Chat
We may have news of the next post-Potter sworcery-slinging, youngster series. The Sisters Grimm has been picked up for development; we get the following information from the news masters of Variey:
Josephson Entertainment and New Regency Prods. have acquired author Michael Buckley’s children’s book series “The Sisters Grimm.” Barry Josephson will produce. Pic will be based on the first three books in the projected nine-volume series; four are available in 15 languages and have sold more than half a million copies. Story weaves the tale of orphaned sisters Sabrina and Daphne Grimm, descendants of the Brothers Grimm, on a quest to find their parents.“People all over the world have grown up with Grimm’s Fairy Tales, and we see this as a huge family adventure franchise,” said VP of entertainment Danica Radovanov. Creative executive Alexander F. Young brought the project to the company.
I have not read any of these books, and probably never will because I do not have children of my own. I will say that the Harry Potter series of films has been a delightful surprise for me, and I find myself building in excitement for the series as it ventures on. If the quality of the story is solid, I hope they are able to bring more fantasy to us through the vehicle of childrens films that adults may still enjoy.
I am already curious to see if the sisters find their parents, and when found, I am interested to see if they are happy with the discovery. I hope their parents are tyrannical ogre breding cave dwellers, or perhaps necromancers that feast on human flesh!! I suppose I will have to wait and see.
For those of you that have read the books or have children that have read the books; is this a series that we should be excited about? Is the story worth being told on the silver screen?

LOL… Ogres… Actually they know who and what their parents are. They were kidnapped by a mysterious group. The girls are then sent to live with their grandmother who lives in this town of neverafters. The neverafters aren’t quite thrilled with the grimms because they are trapped in the town for as long as a Grimm lives in the town. The grandmother is the local detective and the girls end up helping her (rather she wants to or not) in solving crimes. Meanwhile, they are searching for this evil group. Yes… I probably didn’t descibe it as well as I could and made it sound hoakey, but it’s really good and the kids love it. It depends on the screenwriter and the director. After all they screwed up Eragon. I bet the author is excited. He’s really an awesome laid back guy. I met him at a library expo in Chicago. I have a signed copy of his first book, so of course I’m excited.
don’t mean to be so picky, but if you’re gonna tell people about these books, at least get the details right. the sisters grimm books are about sisters who’s parents get kidnapped so they are sent to live with their grandmother in a town called ferryport landing. what they come to realise is that they are the descendants of the brothers grimm and what they thought were fairy tales, were acutally the brothers’ accounts of their meetings with the fairy tale charactersz. the characters like to be known as Everafters and live in Ferryport Landing. They cannot leave the town until the last Grimm leaves because of a spell cast during the life of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. The girls become detectives with their grandmother, solving the crimes and mysteries of the Everafters.
Yeah, and don’t forget the “villanis” Puck. Also, not to be mean or anything, but they are called Everafters, not neverafters. Also, the books are stock filled with cliff-hangers, enough to make you want to tear your hair out. If you’ve got a good director and crew, like in harry potter, you could have THE BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME. there’s so many twists in the books, and a whole mess of humor, that any one from 4-104 would love the book, and maby the movie too. if it comes out, i suggest you like it. The books have princesses for young girls, tricksters for young boys, Princes, giants, beanstalks, talking mirrors, and every fairtale creature imaginable.
if this has anything to do with The Brothers Grimm im not watchin it…
..boy that movie was utter mierda
This from someone called Wolverine? I Bet you even have Yellow & Black pyjamas as well don’t you Snuggles
if you read it, its SOOOOOO much better! Like harry potter of fairy tales. some times theres violence, or pranks, or sometimes love 9which doesnt happen alot tho) betrayal, crimes AND mysterious gunky food and total demented things, like Jabberwoky. SO MUCH BETTER
It has nothing at all to do with. Different author, different stories.
the only bad thing about the books is they all end in to be continued…
I believe that this movie will be one to be excited about, though I’m just an eleven-year-old. The Sisters Grimm is, to be brief, a story about two girls who–after their parents’ mysterious disappearance–find themselves cared for by several maniac guardians, including some guy obsessed with ferrets. They find that someone–claiming to be their dead grandmother–is willing to take them in, and within moments of meeting “Granny Relda”, they are thrust into the family business of fairytale detectiving. Slowly, they find out about their parents’ disappearance, with the help of Granny Relda, Mr. Canis–the Big Bad Wolf, one of the Three Little Pigs, Snow White, Prince Charming, and even troublesome Puck. Perhaps their troubles will be over soon…?
Oh, I cannot wait for this movie to come out. I E-mailed an article to my little sister about it, and she’s as obsessed as I am. Only, she didn’t read it for a long time, and I held it over her head for so long…hilarious…
I love this book so much.When are the casting calls?
Ask your agent.
you are so right ellie, this is the best sereis i’ve ever read. When is the movie coming out?
OMG! i totally agree!! i think that Jeremy Sumpter should play Puck in the movie:]
Omg I just saw the trailer and the actors are not like there supposed to be
(Type your comment here. Make sure you’ve read the commenting rules before doing so)
my kids (and i) are hooked!!!
we’ve listened to the the books on tape & we’re anxiously awaiting #5…
…and now the movie!
I am very excited about this movie. My mom, little sister and two best friends are waiting happily for it. I just read the sixth book and I’m very happy with the series, though I have a question.
The movie is based on the first three books, but at the end of the third book, Puck has had his wings ripped off and is about half-dead by the end. Does this mean they’ll be making another movie or they’ll skip it all together? If they skip it, that would be very disappointing. That means the whole fourth book would never happen. Does anyone have an answer?
Sorry, wondering that myself. But I wish they weren’t blending, they always skip stuff when doing that. Did you see Series of Unfortunate Events? Horrible. I hope they don’t skip that either, it was an important part. And if the first is good they better make another!
it has nothing 2 do with “the brothers grimm” movie..thank god.
me and my little sister would be perfect for the roles of sabrina and daphne! too bad we don’t live anywhere NEAR cali! =(
omg! i evn asked my mom if we could move to califofrnia! its soo funny. evry one in my SCHOOL says i should play Sabrina Grimm in the movie!! i have long blonde hair, live in upstate NY, am stubborn, am very strong, have a GIANT of a dog, super annoying “brother”, and look exactly like her! look @ Sabrine Grimm and youll see me:]:] i swear im not joking! im in middle school, and the year right after i left the elementry school, Michael Buckeley came to visit!! its looks like Sabrinas’ my long lost twin…
OMG I love the Sisters Grimm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When will the movie come out???
So far, the only thing known about the release date is that it will hit theaters sometime in 2010.
I’m the same as Reeva, Except that only I would be great for the Sabrina role (except my glasses) But the fact is I live too far away.(AK) :(
i have read all the books that have been published and i can’t believe their would be a movie i loved to see it.
I have read all the books to my children. Every time i finish one they always ask when the next one will come out! I hope to movie lives up to the books, unlike the movies based on the Harry Potter series.
I love sisters grimm and i would love to be in it. i wouldnt be one of the girls because well i am not eight and not blonde (urg) but if i got the role i bet i would be alud to dye my hair
i love the series. and would love to be in the movie when and where are casting calls. call anytime at [number deleted]
Ask your agent. This is not a site for the studio, its The Movie Blog.
I removed your phone number from your post. You should never do that online.
Cheers.
I love the Sisters Grimm! This IS something to get excited about!!!!!!
YEAH!
I can’t wait!!! I think I could play Puck… I’m the exact age of him, and I have Pointy ears and blonde short hair. (We can spike it up later) But, like most, I too live really far away. (NE) D:
*This is nearly more exciting than the Sims 3!!!
(February 19 or 20th, 2009
I live in Australia, but I am very, very keen on being in this movie, so if the opportunity comes up, I’ll be flying over there. I don’t even mind if I’m an extra.
I’m 13 years old and I have dark blonde/medium brown hair.
The BEST series I’ve ever read. Cannot wait for this movie, but I cannot help but be concerned. I’ve seen them ruin many a good book by turning it into a movie. If you make it, make it good!
LOVE these books!
Have u seen the previews on u tube- sabrina and puck r like 16!!!!!!!!!!
that was a book report!
I love the sisters grimm. Yay, it’s about two sisters who had their parents kinapped near 2 years ago and their sent to foster homes. Later, they manage to escape and their long lost grandmother finds them and take them home. One of the sisters believe that their “grandmother” is another crazy sico until she has been captured by a 200 foot giant. By becoming fariy-tale detectives, the sisters go on nine adventures,(thats what i heard)with their long lost relitive, and a annoying fairy boy named, Puck, the sisters reveale who turly kinapped their parnets from a group called the Scarlet Hand. That’s how i explain it to people, hope i did good! Go Sisters Grimm! Woo!

These books are like the best ever written. Love them!
I am a HUGE Sisters Grimm fan!!!! I think that I would be aweso,e for the part of Sabrina, except, I don’t have pure blonde hair like she does…
YES!!!!!!!
Please do a movie.I agree do not ruin the movie
and follow the books.Don’t make it a love story or a freaky crime one.Find an eleven year old girl who has blonde hair and is good at scowling for Sabrina,and a nine year old girl with brown hair who is naturely funny for Daphene.Yes other people got the basics right.They do find their parents (being hidden with red ridding hood)under a sleeping spell.Sabrina and Daphene Then have to find goldilocks to kiss their dad so then he wakes up and kisses their mom.That will be in the 7th book.PLEASE MAKE IT!!!!!!PLEASE MAKE IT GOOD!!!!!!
i personally luv Little Red Riding Hood. she is an awesome character, and i really do feel srry for her until the 6th book. and i hate how sabrina is a little rude to her. forgive and forget, right? anyways, Little Red Riding Hood was crazy when all that happened.
I could be good for Sabrina because I am twelve and have sandy blonde hair and am a person who has read the books so I know how Sabrina acts.Only thing is I am a ballerina so I would have to miss alot of classes to get down there.I also would not want to do the kissing part and that is the best part.
first of all u dotn have to be twelve to be good at her caus ei am 11 and i htink i would make a good sabrina
i really want to be an actress and so i would be willing to miss anything for the part and that just shows that u have to want it more than anything and u dont
u want to be a ballerina!!!!!!!!!
Very excited about The Sisters Grimm becoming a movie! I’ve always thought, in reading the books, that they could be very cool films as well. It’ll be interesting to see how they do it. Here’s hoping it’s handled with great imagination.
Yes I’m reading all of these books, and YOU MUST MAKE THEM A MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!! I would LOVE THAT
i love the sisters grimm series!!!!!!!!!
i am on the 6th book right now!!!!!!!!
cant wait till the movie!!!!!!
i have read the seventh, and yes they find their parents, they are not ogres… and YES, it is SO worth it… u should read them, cause there are tons of adults that do… so yes, it will b enjoyable for adults… :}
I sooooooo think I could be a good sabrina I have long blond hair (well not anymore) it’s medum long and I’m the same age as her so I think i would be a good sabrina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and how do you get to the movie trailer on youtube?
there is not a movie trailer yet.
The movie trailer on YouTube isn’t a real trailer. It was some girl’s book report.
I also think I’d make an excellent Sabrina. I’m getting an agent, know a kid on broadway, have seven years professional acting experience, know the books inside out, have NATURAL blonde hair, blue eyes, scowl all the time (lol), Sabrina’s personality, everything. I just wish I knew when and where the auditions were! (Rodney, I asked my agent and she doesn’t know)
Plus I’m eleven!
Omg…. Noooooooo! They can’t pack 3 books in one movie!!!!! What if they skip all the good sabrina and puck moments LOL they must not pack it in one movie. It will be ruined if they did that. And I hope they do a good job in casting because it would be so disappointing if they don’t look anything like what they’re supposed to… I can’t wait for it to come though. It’s about time that sisters Grimm gets the attention it deserves :)
ya, they tried doing that with a series of unfortunate events and it just got destroyed! i hope that sabrina and puck and daphnee and granny are all the right age. three in one is so stupid, there is no way that they will get the giant, red hood, and rumpellstillskin all in one! unless its like five hours long! well, ill still see it anyway.
i love this book series!!!!!!! it’s fantastic!!!!!!!! i think it’s so interesting how the author works in all of the fairy tale creatures/people into the story! i managed to get my mom and younger siblings hooked and my mom finds it hilarious that sleeping beauty/briar rose owns a coffee shop :)
i was in shock for a while when i found out there was a movie coming out. i so excited and i hope they don’t mess it up (like the 3rd harry potter movie) becasue the book series ROCKS!!!
btw, Ally, i totally agree with u!!!!!
i luv the sisters grimm. they rock. its definately one of my top ten series. i really hope they dont do three in one movies because that would suck. i used to like the series of unfortunate events, but the movie made it really bad so plz dont do three in one movies. also, can u not make 18 year old ppl act as Sabrina or Puck or whatever? cuz theyre doing that in the lightning thief and nobody likes that. PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ MAKE THE MOVIE GOOD!!!
oh
i thought that the ppl deleted my thing so thats why i couldnt find it. im srry. i meant to revise it. srry again. but i like my second comment too so read it plz
THESE R Y FAVORITE BOOKS EVER!!!! they have to make it a movie or i will die!
but i hate the to be continued things .grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
o yeah, dont merge three books together, yuck. these r deffinetely the best books ever, and uck is totally hard core.
NO!!!!! i dont want 2 see the series destroyed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they better not cut anything out! none of it! …..ok, maybe a little.
the series will not be “destroyed”. im shure that the director wil fit everything from all three books into one movie! ….but, wait…they won’t!!!
O.M.G. I would be totally perfect for the part of Sabrina!!! i have natural long, blonde hair, my friends say i scowl all the time, im 12 years old, and wouldn’t mind doing the kissing seen, but does anyone know where the auditions are!? If there near me im ttly going!
I know a million of you girls think u look like Sabrina but the part will go to an experienced actress with any color hair of which they can dye so girls I wouldn’t get your hopes up if I were you acting is much harder then it looks.
For the record, Rodney, you are really missing out by assuming you would only have reason to read YA books if you had children.
The writing of many YA books (including The Sisters Grimm books) is great quality and a lot of fun. There are “bad” YA books – just like there are “bad” novels for adults! If you like the Harry Potter films, you should by all means read the books. There definitely superior to the movies. Same goes for other YA books – don’t assume you won’t like them! Many of my favorite books continue to come to from the YA section!
I am glad to see that you have taken an interest in The Sisters Grimm movies, and I hope you’ll read at least the first book!
I loooooooooooove these books. only up to number 3… dont have ‘em at local library. soooo good tho. NEVER heard about a movie!! so excited. and just so u no…. it has NOTHING to do with the boring brothers grimm =]
i mean… they r decendants of them, but no dumb annoying baby stuff. READ THEM B4 U SEE THE MOVIE!! every1 always hates the author/director before they even read the book! come on ppl!!! read it! read it!
OMG i luv tha sisters grimm series….ive read them sooo many times.
LOVE PUCK lol jst gotta say tht…so excited bout da movie!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When is it coming out??? I am so excited!!!!!!!!! My teacher showed me the first book and I was like are you serious this book looks soooo dumb. I started to read it and OMG it is awesome!!!!! I also love the Sisters Grimm website!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You brought life to me!!!!!!!!
I almost fainted when I heard there was a movie coming out!!!!!! LITERALLY!!!!!
Will the movie be different than the book?
Miley cyrus is supposed to be init
This movie has not been cast yet. Miley Cyrus is not attached to this project.
but mast votes are on miley cyrus btw do you go on thisEVERY DAY rodney
Its a good thing this isn’t American Idol then because casting isn’t done by fan votes.
And I am on this everyday because I own the site.
when is the movie coming out
Its still in development. No one knows yet.
The only thing I know when it’s coming out is that it’s coming out in 2010. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Rodney do you know if it’s going to be anything like the book or is it going to be totaly different?
What are the titles of the new books coming out?
I think it’s comming out in the winter.
I want to be in the sisters grimm so bad but I am only a kid
Don’t worry mabye u could there r a lot of kids in sisters grimm! Don’t let ur hope down!
I’ve seen the trailer, Sabrina looks 17 and so does puck, Daphene is fine, Granny Relda looks 25.By the way,I have read the Sisters Grimm 2 times and I’m on the 2nd again. I AM HUGEST FAN EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well “hugest fan ever” you haven’t seen the trailer because this movie never happened.
This article is over 3 years old, and they never did make this film.
There was some fan made trailers on youtube that were clearly patches of other films put together to look like it was related to this project, but they were clearly clips of existing films.
There is no trailer for The Sisters Grimm.
Rodney you scared me I went to your website and the picture of The Exorcist was right there it sent shivers up my spine.
Besides im only 11 I cant see pictures like that.
Having just finished the 7th book I am now ordering the 8th (and hopefully there will a 9th, 10th and 11th!!) I must commend the author. These books were very entertaining but I quake at the thought of them being turned into a movie!! I mention 1 name here….Darren Shan (Cirque du Freak). For anyone to produce a movie based on the sisters Grimm I would think they would have to do some kind of Lord of the Rings/Pirates of the Caribbean and shoot at least 3 movies at once. Look at Harry Potter and the aging process encountered when they shot a movie every 18 months. As for the suggestion that Miley Cyrus would be in this movie, that would be enough for me to stay away from the cinema!
I think a mini series (think 10th kingdom) would be the only way to do these great books any kind of justice.
In case anyone is wondering I’m 46 years old and was introduced to these books by my 13 year old daughter.
Hmm I hope this movie works out Hey Rodney have there been any updates on this movie? I have a great idea what if Betty White was Relda.
What year is the movie being released 2010 or 2011?
Now that I think of it she would be great for the role… well that’s only if she doesn’t die.
yeah she would fit the role of a normal (at first) grandmother
i hope tim burten is directing it and i am sooo upset that they have no info on the movie ANYWHERE!!! anyone give me ur opinion on who should play puck?!?!?!!
I am currently reading the 8th book of The Sisters Grimm series. I like it and I can’t wait for the movie to come out!!! Although, I hope Puck will be nicer to Sabrina,be more mature, and take baths or showers more often. I can’t wait to tell my friend about this! She was the one who suggested this series to me.
The Sisters Grimm books are easy, simple, and fun, just what people are looking for, they are great for kids. The Sisters Grimm rocks!!!
you forgot greatest book in the world! But other wise very true
you forgot awesome but other wise all correct!
I am going to be Daphne in Sisters Grimm movie i am there biggest fans!!!!!!!!!!! No one can top me!
I want to be Daphne soooooo bad! I love the sisters Grimm i think it is the best book in the world and Michel Buckley should be as rich and famous as jk rouling!
you forgot greatest book in the world but other wise all right!
Wonderful items from you, man. I have be mindful your stuff previous to and you are simply extremely fantastic. I actually like what you’ve got here, certainly like what you’re stating and the way in which you are saying it. You make it entertaining and you continue to take care of to keep it wise. I can’t wait to read much more from you. That is really a terrific website.
i so want to be sabrina im 11 to but ill have to dye my hair. i saw a trailer sabrina and puck were 17,daphne had blonde hair,granny was 30, nothing magical either
