Synopsis[edit]

Cast[edit]

Development and pre-production[edit]

In 2001 plans were announced for a film adaptation of the series.[1] Miramax Films was named as purchasing the film rights with Lawrence Guterman signed to direct.[2] In 2003 Colfer stated that a screenplay had been finalized and that casting was due to start the same year but expressed skepticism over whether or not this would come to pass.[3] The film remained in development and was assumed to be in development hell until 2011, when it was reported that Jim Sheridan was interested in directing the movie.[4][5]

In July 2013, Walt Disney Pictures announced that an Artemis Fowl film covering the events of the first and second novels of the series would be produced by Disney and The Weinstein Company, with the screenplay by Michael Goldenberg. Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal signed onto the project as executive producers.[6]

On September 1, 2015, Variety reported that Kenneth Branagh had been hired to direct the film for Disney, with Irish playwright Conor McPherson as screenwriter and Judy Hofflund as an executive producer.[7] Eoin Colfer confirmed this in a video to Artemis Fowl Confidential,[8] and spoke with RTE Radio 1 about meeting Branagh several times to discuss this prior to the announcement.[9] On September 12, 2017, Disney announced that the film adaptation will be released on August 9, 2019. It will also be based off the first two books in the series.[10] On September 18, 2017, it was reported that Judi Dench was in talks for an unspecified role,[11]. It was announced on October 11, 2017 that Disney immediately removed Harvey Weinstein as the producer of the film as well as terminating its production with The Weinstein Company following a sexual misconduct controversy involving Weinstein.[12] On December 20, 2017, it was announced that Irish newcomer Ferdia Shaw had been cast as Artemis Fowl, alongside Dench as Commander Root, Josh Gad as Mulch Diggums, Lara McDonnell as Captain Holly Short, and Nonso Anozie as Butler.[13]

Release[edit]

Artemis Fowl is set to be released on August 9, 2019 by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.
