Michelle Paver biography, bibliography, interviews and book reviews
Michelle Paver’s Chronicles of Ancient Darkness is among a host of children’s books set to be Vietnamese. Due to a current dearth of books by Vietnamese authors many translations of popular bestsellers will adorn the shelves of bookstores of Hanoi this year.
Kim Dong Publishing House are the behind these translations. Kim Dong Publishing House was established on the 17the June 1957. It has long been the leading publisher of Vietnamese children’s books and one of the forerunners of the Vietnamese publication industry. Publishing more than 1000 books published yearly, Kim Dong Publishing offers books for children, toddlers and teenagers featuring an expansive range of collections and genres from literature, science, art, history to comics, pop-up and board books.
The movie version of Michelle Paver’s highly successful fantasy novel Wolf Brother was first scheduled for a 2007 US release but news has been think on the ground since. Encouragingly though is the fact that Ridley Scott’s name is still attached to the film, due to be distributed by 20th Century Fox.
In getting Ridley Scott to direct the movie they have employed possibly the greatest living director, his portfolio includes Blade Runner, Gladiator, Thelma & Louise, Alien and American Gangster. Most directors would be proud to be associated with only one of the above films.
Scott’s availability may be the cause of the slow start in filming the movie as I guess that he has a pretty busy schedule and currently has eight movies in pre-production.
We will keep you updated as to any developments.
