Book Trailer

Remember that little Book Trailer competition we launched a few months ago, with our friends at Waterstone's? Remember, we were looking for a minute-long ad to play in UK cinemas, promoting the books?

If you remember that, you may also remember the fact that we chose not one, but TWO winners- Liam Fitzpatrick and Danielle Drew- and combined their ideas to make the Best Thing Ever In The World ™.
Remember all that? Oh I AM glad. Because, drum roll please, the trailer is ready.

The reason that this was a “UK only” competition, and the reason the trailer will only be shown in UK cinemas (take a look on the blog tomorrow and there'll be a list), is simply because Waterstone's UK came to us with the proposal. But does that mean you minions living outside of the UK will never be able to see it? Pfffft. How unfair would THAT be? The fact is, we’re putting it online FIRST so that you, my faithful minions, will be able to devour it like the insatiable little zombie-readers that you are.

You’re going to need a bucket as you watch this, because your brain WILL melt. That’s an official health warning.

There's just different nationality people in a few different coloured houses who drink different drinks, smoke different cigarettes and have different pets, it only gives you clues, which are very unclear...

Dragona Pine said...

Darkane Claw said...

Night Dragona.

Skulgirl13 A.K.A Deryn Mellifluous said...

hey DEREK!!! do you know a song called Sally Gardens??????????

Lunar Tears said...

Dragona, I haven't CHEATED

And even when I accidentally read an answer about something, I ignore it and carry on as if I haven't read it

The Swedish man either lives in the Green house or the White house

I'm ignoring the fact that you know which

Nicole Fudge (Nicolette Croga) said...

Night Dragona ... try solve this one

A man left to work in his car and turned on the radio, after 5 mins of listening to the radio he turned around back home and shot his wife.. Why?

and no I know what your thinking he didn't forget it was international shoot your wife day

Lunar Tears said...

BYE DRAGONA

*sighs in relief*

Mary Hiashi said...

I know it's the German. Don't ask me how I worked that out, I just did. 'Twasn't a guess, I just have to figure out the other half of the riddle...

Aimee =] said...

Wow, so very awesome, I watched that over and over :)

Weldone to the winners

Nicole Fudge (Nicolette Croga) said...

Just remember guys, international shoot your husband day is the day before shoot your wife day

Skulgirl13 A.K.A Deryn Mellifluous said...

ummmmm he heard his wife was a serial killer????

Nicole Fudge (Nicolette Croga) said...

nope

Lunar Tears said...

Did she try to shoot him?

And missed?

Skulgirl13 A.K.A Deryn Mellifluous said...

OMG HIS GHOST CAME BACK SO HE SHE COULD BE WITH HIM!!!!!!!!

Lunar Tears said...

He killed her before she could shoot him?

Nicole Fudge (Nicolette Croga) said...

the comment 'Just remember guys, international shoot your husband day is the day before shoot your wife day'

has nothing to do with it

Skulgirl13 A.K.A Deryn Mellifluous said...

no wait he couldnt shoot her he's dead!

Skulgirl13 A.K.A Deryn Mellifluous said...

oh there goes my theory

Skulgirl13 A.K.A Deryn Mellifluous said...

i give up!

Skulgirl13 A.K.A Deryn Mellifluous said...

no one answered mine!














your in a room with no windows or doors you have a mattres a mirror a table and a calander you have to eat drink get out and get home in that order how do you do it????

Lunar Tears said...

I'M NOT GOOD WITH THOSE THINGS!

I GIVE UP!

Skulgirl13 A.K.A Deryn Mellifluous said...

lol kallista you want me to tell you guys the answer to mine???????

Skulgirl13 A.K.A Deryn Mellifluous said...

ok spoiler to riddle of skulgirl





eat the dates from the calander drink the springs from the mattres you look in the mirror you see what you saw you saw the table in half every one knows two halfs make a hole you climb through the hole you yell and yell untill you get horse you climb on the horse and ride home

Skulgirl13 A.K.A Deryn Mellifluous said...

what happen???? did he leave the site for good or just for now?????

Lunar Tears said...

I would never have gotten that!

However...

I figured out Einstein's riddle!

I know Mary did before me, but she got the house colour wrong and Dragona CHEATED by looking at who lived in what coloured house, and THEN working it out!

But I did it all myself!

And for that reason, I am proud of myself!

YEY!

Skulgirl13 A.K.A Deryn Mellifluous said...

nice lunar!

I sound too stuck up and like I think I'm the cleverest person alive...

But I just can't believe I did it

Darkane Claw said...

I have a riddle.

There was a girl who the most beautiful girl in the town. Her father worked for the King and one day he didn't come home. She went to the palace to see where he was and the prince said that he had imprisoned her father and would only set him free if she agreed to marry him. A maid who over heard this said that it wasn't fair and they should devise a way for her to choose more fairly. So the prince said that they would put a white stone and a black stone in the bag and if she picked out the black stone she had to marry him and if she picked out the white one her father would go free. She agreed to this but and said that she would stay the night at the palace. When she was going to bed she saw the prince put two black stones in the bag. How did she get out of marrying him?

Skulgirl13 A.K.A Deryn Mellifluous said...

Hey guys, I posted the seconded part of The End, if you haven't read the first part please read it.

Lunar Tears said...

Darkane Claw said...

It doesn't involve killing the prince, swapping the stones or a jail break.

Lunar Tears said...

XD

astormcloudpassingby said...

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Unknown said...

thats so cool!! Anyway you should make a Skulduggery Pleasant video game. Now THAT would be awesome.

Brilliant Night (aka Alex Night) said...

That was a really awesome trailer. I liked the play on the word "dead". Skulduggery looked a bit too scary and evil though... It might just possibly, maybe, slightly off-put viewers who haven't previously read this amazing series. But overall--fantastic. Love the graphics. :)

AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

You know, that's excatly what i would say if i saw this at a theatre. I would start FREAKING out!!!!! And all the people around me would be thinking, that looks creepy, but its not (really). Ahhhhhhhh my goshhhhhh i so wish it were playing in the US!!!

Rebella Tears said...

i didn't hav a bucket so my brain melted in my juice. awwwwwwww. now my juice is ruined! loved it!


i would just like to point out that if Tanith was in the coach o bowers she would technically die. Remnant would die

Alexandre Requiem (Lynda) said...

Um.
No.
The graphics suck, the use of "dead" is not clever in the least, and since when did a few random Hollow Men decide to attack Skulduggery? And whose house is that?
I mean, really, a Flash Production would've looked a helluva lot better.
Just my opinion.
But I was expecting...more.

Minnie said...

It's fantastic. =) GJ to everyone involved.

Hey Thrice

Darkane Claw said...

Brb, I have to carry some tiles.

Thrice Dozer the Clumsy Sleepwalker who hasn't smelly feet said...

HI DARKANE!
DID YOU HAVE SCHOOL TODAY???

Darkane Claw said...

Yep, but I hade a half day.

Darkane Claw said...

Hello?

Darkane Claw said...

Anyone?

Kate Stuart-Smith said...

good thing:
I like the trailer
Bad thing:
I think i may be excluded i called the headmaster a pompous ass to his face

Darkane Claw said...

Lol, Evangeline. This girl in our school was getting out to, our headmistress was shouting at her and the girl was shouting really loudly back. The headmistresses face was livid.

Darkane Claw said...

Hey Thrice. Were'd you go?

Thrice Dozer the Clumsy Sleepwalker who hasn't smelly feet said...

brb

Thrice Dozer the Clumsy Sleepwalker who hasn't smelly feet said...

Darkane Claw said...

Ok Thrice

Kate Stuart-Smith said...

he deserved it, he watched while 20 odd kids throw ice at my friends and myself then told me off for calling one off the kids a fuckwit!!

Darkane Claw said...

He did deserve it. Head teachers are all to drunk with power and they think they can do whatever they want and pick on whoever they want. It's evil.

Thrice Dozer the Clumsy Sleepwalker who hasn't smelly feet said...

mmm... i have an awesome princible

Darkane Claw said...

Lucky, my principle is alright but sometimes she can flip out.

Thrice Dozer the Clumsy Sleepwalker who hasn't smelly feet said...

Thrice Dozer the Clumsy Sleepwalker who hasn't smelly feet said...
