¡Muchas gracias!

Me encanta la saga de Túneles. Estoy esperando que llegue la sexta y última parte a mi país, Terminal. ¡¡¡¡Usted es un gran escritor!!!!

I wonder when "Terminal" is coming out.

OMG! Really! I loved Spiral and I can't wait to see how this whole adventure ends. How long do we have to wait for the release?

Oooh! Suspense is unbearable... :D

Hi Mandy! There certainly is another one - I'm just writing the final chapters now.

Is there another book after "Spiral". kinda ended with a cliffhanger. i really hope there is!

The longer a good thing lasts (like Tunnels), the better in my opinion :D.

im rereading the harry potter books...gosh this is gonna take forever. Why are they all so dang long? But then again all the good series are long. Like tunnels! :D

Cool. Missed that.

Hi Silverwolf's mum, unfortunately I have no influence over the movie, or any means to talk directly with the producers or director - all my news comes through the publishers here in the UK. As regards casting, I bet the producers will be looking for young actors for the main parts, but all I can suggest is that you try to send something through to Relativity Media. You can google their website. Sorry I can't help with this! Roderick

Hi Silverwolf, and the answer is that there are some "hotspots" where the combination of the radioactivity and rock under pressure drives up the temperature (it's discussed in Deeper), but there is certainly no molten core at the centre of the planet!

Oooh... here's a question for you Roderick:

If the world is hollow in Tunnels, how do you explain geothermal heat?

Ah.. we're not so different. Don't worry about it.

Aw. I really don't like it when your waiting on a movie, and the directors think that they can spend all the time they need and just diddle around when SO many people are waiting on them.

LOLZ, about them not breathing part.

That's reassuring that it will at least look like London. Wouldn't it be easier just to film it there though.

I could try out, but one problem...i kind of suck at asking... i mean not Miley Cirus bad...but pretty bad.

Hehe... mum. I bet mom to you sounds all hill billy and american to you guys... I feel so different

Hi Roderick, trust me when I say that Silverwolf would be the perfect candidate to play Rebecca. We are all passionate fans of the Tunnels series and she is a very talented actress. I realise I am biased, however if you met her, you would see what I mean!!

Keep up the good work. Can't wait for the final chapter.

Love,

- Silverwolf's Mum

Uhh... me again (Silverwolf). Sorry about that, just to clarify: not my idea. She may be embarassing (blush, blush), but she is right. Heheh.

Aww... waaah... I wanted to be Rebecca. :(

Hi AnnieB! Relativity Media haven't actually got the cameras rolling yet but we're told that the project may go into preproduction soon - they've been working on it for such a long time that I'm not holding my breath any longer (makes it very difficult to write when you're not breathing).
And it may be shot in the US, but we've been assured that the sets will look like England ...

i think there already filming it...

I found this on tunnelsthebook.com...

A movie of the first book is currently being developed by Relativity Media in the US. News of how it's progressing will eventually be posted here.

Did you know the lord of the rings was filmed in new zealand? and i think that was an american movie...but i could be wrong.

ok, random fact over.

Calm down. It's all ok. Even if an american company does do it, they probably will still film in the UK.

hello? SPOILER ALERT! only read the tunnels freefall and deeper! SHHH

Because Eddie is a styx, and everyone blames him for the stuff that his people have done (also, he killed - or at least helped to kill - Fiona). But yah, he is cool :).

spiral was epic! why does Eddie keep getting beaten up? its not fair, its always my fave characters that get beaten up. still spiral was REALLY good. what are the styx planing in the next book? any news about the film?

sure the 6th book will be brill :-)

Roderick, are they filming Tunnels in the states, or over here?

Well... I'm not quite as Mortisha-esque (Addams Family referance) as Rebbecca, but I'm sure with a little make-up, I wouldn't be far off. Also, I just remembered, I think it was an american company that bought the movie rights, so they could be doing it out there... :( (NOOO!!)

haha! well, i dont know what you look like... but that would be kind of ironic!

Aww... such a shame. Sorry, Anne. I probably won't anyway, but I am determined. Could u imagine me as Rebbecca? (*does a quiet evil laugh and pulls scary face* boy sitting next to me pulls worried face & shifts over a little* - joke). LOL.

uh, not me. im uh... all the way across the atlantic ocean...

Can't wait for the movie... is there a way I could be in it? even as an extra?

It gets better... esp. in spiral....

ya, just found that out at the end of freefall.

Will's already in love - he's got elliot (sorry if ya didn't know that yet).

Ya, but i like will's personality more. Oh, finished freefall BTW. Total coolness! OMG! SO AWESOME!(I can't believe how american that sounded. HA!)

I hope that Will or Chester finds love in the last book - and a good match too. Preferabley Chester - as he deserves it (not that Will doesn't) but Chester had no real reason to follow Will: he was just being loyal. He deserves a reward, no?

I loved how you said at the end "For the last few moments of Sarah's life, she was smiling," that was SO cool, because of how her whole life she had been worrying and hiding. And two rebecca's!! I was like "woah!" it would be so confusing since they are both named rebecca. If i had a twin like that, i would feel like i could never be my own person, you know?

Anne, so pleased you enjoyed it. The ending was a little bleak but it was how I felt at the time. Sarah's death affected me much more than Cal's because I identified so closely with her. And Silverwolf, the non-Tunnels book hasn't got a publisher yet. I've just changed to a new literary agent so everything's been up in the air for a while and, who knows, maybe I'll never find anyone who wants to release it. It's quite an odd story ...

Cal was my favorite character! I was sooooo sad when you killed him off. Loved the ending!

FINISHED DEEPER! FREEFALL HERE I COME!

Heheh... I guess it would be less fun if we could control our imagination :). So has the new book been published yet, or are you gonna put us through more suspense :D?

Ha ya, im in the middle of Deeper right now. LOVE IT! only feedback is that it's going kind of slow. But that's it.

I finished a non-Tunnels book in February
and couldn't believe how quickly the words were landing on the page. I suppose that's because I've been thinking about the story for so long. But now I'm trying to get into gear on T6, and the writing is painfully slow. I wish this was something I could control!

ya, sorry silverwolf. What book are you writing Mr. Gordon?

Oh, OK, you're both forgiven ;D.

Sorry, Silverwolf, have been working on the new book - I have to try to cut off a bit.

Aww.. I'm feeling like a ghost in this conversation/thread... making sounds, but not being heard <:(.
