![]() Red Rising: Sons of Ares Part I is out now. Morningstar by Pierce Brown (Hodder, £16.99) is out now I'd be annoyed if he wasn't so bloodydamn right. ![]() leader in retaliation for the FBI killing a Russian mobsters brother. Its a cat and mouse game throughout as the Jackal thwarts his persuers as he plans to assassinate a U.S. until I read the dedication he wrote in my copy of Red Rising where he calls me "such a Pixie" and compares me to Tactus.ĭid he really just call me a frivolous, pleasure-seeking, sexually ambivalent, two-faced player? Well, they say you should never meet your heroes. This movie is a perfect blend of action, suspense, perfect casting of Bruce Willis and Richard Gere as the Jackal and terrorist released from prison to help the FBI and a Russian agent catch him. I've been charmed to the tips of my cashmere socks. The Obsidians have a hybrid Maori sound." Golds speak with a very Scandinavian accent. Pierce does tell me how he thinks all the different colours sound, though: "Darrow has an Irish accent in my head. He drops his guard into confirming (ok, joking) that Ryan Reynolds should play Proctor Apollo when the lovely PR lady mishears us talking about the audiobooks read by Tim Gerard Reynolds and thinks we said Ryan. More than that I can't say unless you lock me in a stone box under your table for months.

"Yes, yeah…but I can't say," he annoyingly replies. I'm not above a bit of manipulation,myself, and I push and prod if he has any casting preferences for actors? "I've built friendships with everyone involved which is keeping me closely involved with the project, too," he smiles. I point out that it's not that usual for writers to stay so closely involved with film adaptations but it seems Pierce may have picked up some tricks from his own characters. The vision from the film makers ins 'Lawrence of Arabia in space,' which is terribly exciting for me as it's my favourite film." "I have written the first two drafts of the film and now we're on the third. Speaking of the future, I want to know what's happening with the film adaptation of Red Rising which was bought by Universal in a seven-figure deal and will be directed by Marc Foster and produced by Joe Roth. Ultimately, he didn't kill him because he felt guilty. "Cassius' taking care of Lysander also gave me a reason to save him," he says. Pierce, however, reveals that Cassius almost bit the dust as well. I admit that I was happy about the rebuilding of bridges (sort of) with Cassius and that his informal adoption of Lysander felt like the closing of a circle that started with the awful death of his brother, Julian.
