I've been reading the Alex Rider series lately - I had already read Stormbreaker and Point Blanc but not the others - and something that's struck me about them is that they feel very televisual.
In 2006, a film based on the first book (Stormbreaker) was released in cinemas...and it bombed. But could the reason why it bombed be because the books don't lend themselves to movies? Could it be that Alex Rider would make a better TV Series?
I mean, the start of Point Blanc with Alex dumping the drug dealers in the middle of an anti-drugs conference is screaming to be a pre-credits scene before the title sequence kicks in.
