It was this that motivated director Iain Softley and the casting department to consider Fraser first for the role in the film. Fraser told Softley that if it was determined that he was not right for the role, not to feel obligated to use him on the project. Softley was ultimately impressed with Fraser's performance and contracted him for the film. Public auditions were held for the role of Meggie Folchart [8] with the intention of casting an unknown actress, however the role eventually went to Eliza Bennett who had already worked extensively on television and film at the time. Funke, was quoted as saying that "we had our second screening (summer 2007), which went well, and I really loved the movie, but they are still changing things, especially at the end." [ citation needed] Inkheart was filmed at Shepperton Studios near London, England and on location in Balestrino, Albenga, Alassio, Entracque and Laigueglia, Italy, in 2006 and 2007. Inkspell is the second novel in Cornelia Funke's Inkheart series. The first novel, Inkheart (2003), was critically acclaimed and was made into a major motion picture released in January 2009. The third novel, Inkdeath, was published on 28 September 2007 in Germany. The audiobook published by Random House Listening Library is read by Brendan Fraser, the actor that played Mo in the movie adaptation. It is approximately 18 hours and 50 minutes long on 16 disks. During their imprisonment, Mo explains his gift to Meggie and Elinor, stating that when he reads a person or an object out of a book, someone from the real world is sent into it, hence his wife's disappearance. Capricorn forces Mo to use his gift, acquiring treasure from one of the stories in The Arabian Nights, and imprisoning Farid, one of the 40 Thieves. Dustfinger, who was promised a return into the book, is betrayed by Capricorn. The group escapes using the tornado from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Also, Fenoglio is somehow pottering about in his own book, both delighted to the point of megalomania and hubris at seeing his creation spring to life, and dismayed that he can’t stop bad things from happening to his favorite characters. Inkspell (German title: Tintenblut) is a 2005 young adult fantasy novel by Cornelia Funke. It was named the 2006 Book Sense Book of the Year in the Children's Literature category.Maggie and her father (Mo) have a unique gift. They're silvertongues. When they read aloud, things in the book become so entranced by their voices that quite often characters will follow the sound into in the real world. That delight often comes with a price.

meanwhile, Meggie is catching up on all the angst and anger she never directed at her secret-keeping father all these years. She’s also rapidly sprouting from a scrawny little girl into a pretty young woman, and when Farid shows up he NOTICES. Still, there is something wrong with this story for me. There's only one character I liked a little, and that's Aunt Elinor. All the others could not touch me positively or negatively in the sense of evoking emotions in me. There was not a single spot in the book where I really wanted to know what would happen next. I have seldom read a book where I cared so little about the outcome of the story.

El final me hizo llorar, no sólo por las consecuencias de la guerra que se desata, sino también por la genialidad en la construcción: nada se da en diez páginas, como suele pasar con otros libros. Todo se gesta en la mitad del libro y se va agigantando hasta que toca la página 657 (sí, es largo). Y termina, obviamente, con un “gancho” para seguir inmediatamente con Muerte de tinta, cuyo título augura mucho sufrimiento. A modo de resumen, Sangre de tinta no tiene nada que envidiarle a su antecesor y es un salto perfecto hacia la conclusión de la trilogía. Y, sinceramente, espero que no sea una conclusión definitiva. But, the author did such a good job with the Inkheart that I will read anything involving the Inkworld. I love these characters so much, Bill Goodykoontz of The Arizona Republic enjoyed the film, saying: " Inkheart is entertaining enough, if not always easy to follow. And if it does nothing else, at least it may inspire kids to read, if for no other reason than to help make sense of it all." [16] A. O. Scott said the film "aims for a blend of whimsy and tingly suspense but botches nearly every spell it tries to cast. Its opening scenes are more confusing than intriguing, and the acceleration of the plot leads to a sense of busyness rather than suspense. A movie that can produce the image of Helen Mirren astride a unicorn has some claim on the audience's interest, and a movie that can make that image seem perfectly uninteresting is in some serious trouble." [17] Box office [ edit ] And of course, as almost always, last but for sure not least, for Anna, wonderful, wonderful Anna, who had this story told to her many walks, encouraged and advised me, and let me know what was good and what could still be improved. (I very much hope that the story of Meggie and Farid has its fair share of the book now?) Oh, one more thing — if you get a chance, listen to the audio-book as well. Brendan Fraser's recording is so wonderful, that you won't ever forget Dustfinger's Scottish accent or the glassman cursing in French!

After Orpheus reads Dustfinger into Inkheart but leaves Farid and the martens behind, Farid turns to Meggie to ask if she can reunite them. Dustfinger - the clear winner for my favorite character, I have to agree with Orpheus there. He can hide his feelings at will, which is very admirable (just ask Farid). He believes himself to be cowardly, but he will go to great heights for the ones he cares about, such as Farid and Roxane. He truly does have feelings, although you may not be able to tell just from his face. This book was kind of dark for the middle grade category, and that's why I probably loved it even more than Inkheart. Huge character development, a beautifully spun story and a new setting, full of life and secrets to uncover. I also have to confess my slight crush on Mo Folchart. The Inkheart trilogy was pretty popular in the early 2000's, at popular enough that the author, Cornelia Funke, sold the film rights to all three books to New Line Cinema. Creí que este libro se me haría más pesado o que le encontraría alguna falla garrafal, de esas que no se salvan con nada y arruina la experiencia de lectura. Y la verdad es que no hubo nada de eso. Funke sigue contándonos las aventuras de Meggie y compañía con una fluidez alarmante, de esas que hacen que nos preguntemos “¿cómo se le ocurrió?” y “¿cómo lo describe tan bien?”. Lo afirmo sin dudar: esta saga infantil- juvenil es una de las mejores que he leído en mi vida, porque no resigna calidad (ni calidez) en ninguno de los capítulos. Se pueden inventar mil giros en una historia, agregar personajes geniales, crear un mundo increíble, sacar ochenta spin offs, pero eso no es nada si no se lo acompaña con una narración que guste, con una combinación de palabras que atrapen y causen, al menos, la sensación de que la autora tiene talento para contar el cuento. A Funke el talento le sobra.Inkspell is a 2005 young adult novel by German author Cornelia Funke originally released in Germany under the title Tintenblut. It was translated into English and released in October 2005 by Anthea Bell. It is the second book in the Inkheart trilogy. The premise. Reading with special imagination can either pull characters out of your favorite book or put you inside it. And compared to the first book, the second doesn't feel quite so lopsided and the plot and character development feel a lot more organic -- growing, even. I really got into the adventure within Inkheart and felt for many of the characters. The emotionally hard parts had some great pathos. In October 2004, a series of various theatrical version of the first two books started with the world premiere of Inkheart at the Schauspielhaus Hannover. It has since been staged in several cities in Germany, notably at the Staatstheater Stuttgart, and the Wuppertaler Kinder- und Jugendtheater. In September 2006 a musical version premiered at the Junges Theater Bonn, involving over twenty actors and actresses and a live band. [6]
