Columbia Pictures will be producing a big screen version of the James Patterson YA novel “Maximum Ride.” Patterson will release the fifth novel in the series in 2009.
Story centers around six kids who have been genetically altered so that their DNA is now 98% human and 2% bird. They have been bred to fly and use their abilities to escape a lab-rat existence. Their creators hunt after them with a pack of Erasers, genetically altered children who have are part human and part wolf.
Scribe Don Payne (“Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer,” “My Super Ex-Girlfriend”) will adapt the novel for film.
Well, here’s hoping two things: a) the 5th MR book is better than the 4th was, and b) the screenwriter does a better job than he did with Rise of the Silver Surfer. (Okay, the latter wasn’t *too* bad, but still…it could’ve been *so* much better!)
man i can’t wait when the movie comes out i just hope that they do not do a bad job on the film because it will ruin the rep that James Patterson had put forward for the great books and second of all i hope that the 5th book is the best of all but of course not the last the would be so stink
I LOVE these books, although the fourth one wasn’t that great. After reading the first page to “The Angel Experiment, I knew it would make a good movie. SO exciting!
HURRY UP MAXIMUM RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am so confused! wen did MR come into theaters!!!!!!!!!!!! someone tell me!!!!!!!!!
@Brianna:
The film won’t be in theaters until sometime in 2010.
OMG the first sentence in the first book made me keep reading and never want ot drop it down. i seriously hpe for the 5 th book to be better than all. Maximum Ride is the BEST!!! why couldn tit come out erlier
the fourth book was not that good. I hope the 5 is better.
The movie isn’t coming out until 2010, the book comes out next year though, and so does the comic.
the 4th book was okay. but it sucked compared to the others. and it was so so so small. i mean it took me only a few hours to finish it!!!! i just hope the 5th one will biggier and better than the 4th one. and i just hope that the movie doesnt suck!!!!! or if they take out to much-like they did with twilight-that would stink! J.P. keep writting!!!!1 please, please, please!!!!!!!
when does the fifth book come out?
5th book comes out on March 16th, 2009. Movie comes out sometime in 2010. Cant wait! Loven the books!
I can’t wait till the movie comes out. they are saying they might use the girl that played juno as max or that girl from spy kids.I hope they dont.that would just ruin it.They should find someone GOOD.
WHAT?TWILIGHT? Twilight sucks
I hope they dnt do that as they did with twilight. i mean twilight was good but if u read the book it could have been better. i love maximum ride and i wont read the book over and over but i could watch the movie over and over. and if max keeps pullin away from Fang then im goin to die
You guys are going to love the fifth one reason is it is kinda of romantic towards the end and you find that out when you read it i cant wait for the movie i love this series and hop that James Patterson keeps read this is the first time i’ve ever liked a book and stuck with it to read the whole series
