Who else is in 2020 waiting for the movie?

2020
2020, still waiting....
Where is it >:c
I'VE BEEN READING THE LAND OF STORIES SINCE I WAS IN 6TH GRADE AND I LOVE THIS SERIES CAUSE I LOVE FAIRYTALES. I WOULD ALWAYS IMAGINE THIS BOOK BECOME A FILM ONE DAY AND BEING IN THE FILM..... SOMEHOW IDK I'M ASIAN SO
Also I read even single one of the books and kind of sad that this will be the last book
Alice Kho same
GIRL IM MEXICAN
Alice Kho OMG ME 2 IN ASIAN AND I I LOVE FAIRYTALES
Same
I can't believe the series is over! I remember my brother telling me to read it!🙁😢😩😭😦
Sarah Dee My friend told me to read it
My teacher showed me it and now its over😭😭😟😩😫
Sarah Dee I legit cried when I finished book 6. I wish there was like 9 books, it would be cool if there was a book where there’s more romance and kids and stuff...lol
I just randomly saw it in a bookstore and he description interested me lol
Well, he is writing other book series I think you'll love. The Land of Stories is done but he's not letting his creative juices flow
I am so excited about this new movie! I love The Land of Stories and I wish he would never stop releasing new books!
I know right
Jay Tiger21 lol sameeee
I hope it’s still coming ...
I just finished Book 1, The Wishing Spell. It's awesome!!!! My favorite part was when I heard The Evil Queen's sad story Heheheh.... Definitely my favorite book!
When you get to the last book you'll be happy.
Oh then you should get reading it gets better
Wait till u get to book 6
carrotjenga i just ffinisshed tthe last book and my fav part was when goldilocks just slaped lil red riding hood lol
carrotjenga wait until u read the other five
I got my book signed by him.
Darth Vader my third book is signed by him!
Cool!
You’re so lucky!!!!
Lucky
😭 I want that 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Did Chirs Colfer base Conner off of himself?
* He's an author.
* He looks like him.
* They wrote six books (in a series)
* Based the characters off of people he knows.
Is this actually what it is or is it my imagination??
hmm.. maybe!! it makes sense. I love conner
He said that most of his characters are based on some aspects of himself or people he knows
I'm pretty sure he's said both Alex and Connor are based off two different sides of himself
When I was a kid I created the theory that Colder actually lived all of the things that happened in the book. I am pretty sure he based Conner off of him.
They don’t look alike though
*knocks down door*
I CAME AS SOON AS I HEARD
ANGELICA
Suzanna Azarov (oOoO) I KNOW MY SISTER LIKE I KNOW MY OWN MIND
Suzanna Azarov I LOVE MY SISTER MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THIS LIFE
Suzanna Azarov PUT WHAT WE HAD ASIDE, IM STANDING AT HER SIDE
Suzanna Azarov GOD, I HOPE YOUR SATISFIED...
I’m so happy and excited that it’s being made into a movie, I will be first in line for tickets I would even go see it alone if no one will go with me I don’t care. He’s and awesome writer and his going to be a great director, Chris you rock.😁 Read the books if you haven’t
2020 still waiting for the film.
2021 still waiting for the movie
Covid put it on hold
2024 also waiting for an movie 😭😭😭
Maybe in 2025 😊
Bruh I was just reading the part in that book where alex and conner go into conner's stories about their dad and it legit made me cry bc my mom died when I was 7.
Oh NO nO I LEGIT HAVE THAT BOOK NEXT TO ME ON THE COUCH LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL #RosaryChicken
I loved the Roasary Chicken
@@benfisher6372 omg me too i loved the rosary chicken and also lester.
not me still waiting for this movie in 2021
i swr. is it still happening?
Omg he's adorable I can't even-
Also um what happened to the movie??? It's been like 3 years since it was announced... 😭
i’ve been waiting forever 🙁🙁
@@izalovesapples7617 Same 😞
No!!!!! My favorite book series is already final
i love how they talk and laugh about him at the start and he just sits there like ( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o)
Hahaha LoL 😂
lol
If Lea Michele doesn’t play Red Riding Hood I will be extremely disappointed
Red riding hood is blonde not brunette XD
@@lulurppe7575 theres something called wigs you know
I never said there aren’t?
no lea’s awful
I know she's self-centered, but Red is still supposed to be at least _a little_ likable.
I really hope the characters aren't ruined in the movies like some were when harry potter was turned into movies. like I hope they don't make Red and Alex seem like brats and I hope they don't make Conner seem dumb like they did with movie Ron.
I remember when my dad came back from the army with that book in his hand when i was in third grade. I picked it up immediately and i loved it.
I'm know I'm late but HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS OMG
I loved this series when it came out!!! I read every single book and even the extras!! I remember waiting for the books to come out and I was so excited when I checked the bookstore to see if they had the latest book and I would squeal in delight when I saw that they did. good times :)
The land of stories is my favorite book series!! I fell in love with it😍😍 and I really hope Chris Colfer will turn it in a movie
I WANT TO SEE MOVIE NOW
Yay I'm first. My book comes in like 8 hours and I'm excited. I live glee so much and Chris Colfer is soooo creative and smart. #gleek #tlos6
i just finished his 2nd book!!!!!!! #Gleek #TLOS6
+Hannah Vance cool
L-dawg12 C I got my book signed by him!!!!
I ordered books I already have every one but do you know how alex and conner's grandma read to them through the Land of Stories? I ordered that one too. #geek
+Pokemon Trainer :3 I have that one too
I like the same things that Chris Colfer does when it comes to the land of stories and magical adventures. I am in adventurous person I love to explore, I really want to go to this magical places too, I’m one of those normal people who wants to go to those not normal worlds. It really breaks up the monotony of every day things, sometimes we get tired of the same old thing every day, especially events in the world like mass shootings and annoying things in the news and tragedies, it’s really great to know that you do not have to leave your childhood behind even when you’re in adult.
OMG, how am I only seeing this now. I cant wait!
You're making a whole series of movies, right?
Slime Lover I really hope so
hopefully it'll end up like harry potter did with all the books turned into movies.
@@natbartelt7692 Same
i just finished glee and absolutely fell in love with his character then chris himself and when i read that he was the author of land of stories i nearly cried.
ive loved that series since i was 9 and it was one of the first series that i would read constantly and begged my mom to buy the sequel of. my friends and i talked about the books constantly and got so excited for sequel releases.
and to know that the person who i admire so much from glee is that same person who wrote the books that gave me so much joy back in elementary school is absolutely insane to me. and i thank chris so much for both.
When will the movie come? Sorry, I am so impatient... 😐
Same
I think it'll come the year 20-Never gonna happen
To be honest it'll probably be like how the Wicked or FNAF movie is doing 😭
I've read all the books and always have dreamed of becoming Alex in the movie... :(
its been 2 years...
When is it coming out😭😭
I am 17 and started reading his books again !!!!!!! like his books it's mindblowing
I literally just finished reading this book. AAAAHHH, ITS SOOO GOOD!!!
💕Chris Colfer is a very nice and handsome young man! I love him on GLEE! Chris I will always love you!❤️
Im SO SAD the series is overrrrr!!!!!!!!! i REALLY want the movie but its still 2021
Chris bestie its been 4 years 😫
I just finished the series and I'm happy cause it was soooo good but then sad cause the series is over!!! BUT there's the "The Tale Of Witchcraft" and I can't wait to read it too! And now there's gonna be a film?!?!? I can't wait!! Also any other book suggestions? That is like the Land of Stories?
I love the land of stories even though I was like a year late
I wanna meet Chris so badly!!!!
I love glee and I still watch it and just recently I found out he wrote a book series so I started reading the first book
"Is it the generic big bad wolf?" lol XD
I freaking LOVE THE LAND OF STORIES!!!!!!!
Who else is in 2021 and wating for the movie? 🎥
Meeeee I also heard he is making his new series into a movie
IM SO EXCITED FOR BOTH 😆
is it still gonna happen? i really need to know. its been 4 years of waiting
I love his performance in that song
Imagine who inspired me to start writing my own book? Yeah it's that guy up there, i hope one day i meet him, and ask him for advice writing.
please continue the series... need book 7!!
2021 still waiting for the movie :)
I love the land of stories series!!! And Chris on glee!
who else likes red and Goldie's dynamic?
i’ve read the land of stories series three times in 2 years. i’m obsessed with this series and i like for it
I am still searching online about auditions. I'm at the right age to play Alex so I'm hoping they will start casting soon! Fingers crossed!
I want to have a person like Chris (and his Grandma) in my life.
Also I want to play Alex Bailey and I will stop at nothing even if I have to fly to Hollywood
(I live in Australia) I'm even the right age! Give me a chance Hollywood please!
This is such a lovely book and I am 31.
It’s been 2 years c’mon Chris you’re killing me
Charlotte Sternfels JAJAJAJA
I am a huge fan of the books! Can’t wait for the movie!
i really want to read this book and i love him so much on glee that i have re watched several times. i love him so much
I started the series in 4th grade and finished the final book as a freshman in high school. Crazy to think about it
I love the land of stories 😊😊!!!
Chris, it has been my dream ever since I read the first book to act Alex in the movies.
I OWN THE ENTIRE SERIES AND LOVE THEM 10 OUT OF 10 WOULD RECCOMMEND THIS SERIES!
My sister had all the books I asked her what they were about and she told me to read it ,so I read it and now I’ve read the whole series like 5 times now it’s my 6th time
I love the land of stories and cant believe the series is over
I'm on the third one only but there so awesome and creative he is my favorite author
If the movie is bad imma be disappointed because the books are so good
Denise Acar same
THERE IS GOING TO BE A MOVIE ABOUT LAND OF STORIES
Is it just me or in the sixth book on the prologue during Conner's birthday when mr.quinn asked him to introduce his family, when he got to his son Mathew, he said "...and this is my son Mathew, his husband, Henry"
😂😂😂😂 he literally said his son had a husband.
Sorry i *had* to post this somewhere i was too desperate.
Jungkook Timberlands omg I thought I was the only one who noticed🤣😂
I'm reading the first one right now😬
Boujee Becca I just got the fifth one from the library last night, I got it so I didn’t have to wait 2 days for it to get shipped from Amazon.
Im so happy!!I just saw this now and I cant believe that this was on my birthday!!#bestbirthdaygiftever!!😍😍🎂🎂
I need to say this I can't stop crying because I need more books of the land of stories I am asking like... for ten books more
my favorite series everrr
Did you read the worlds collide book already?
i just re-read the series for the first time since 2017, and i honestly SOBBED because it hasn’t been modified into a movie. although, i would hate for them to sort of dismiss certain character traits, or relationships, like they did with harry potter.
mine comes Saturday!!!
Still waiting in 2022 for the movie 😭😭😭
Is this movie ever coming out or has it been cancelled because I have been waiting for so long and if it never comes I think I might go cry a river 😭😭😭
I miss him in glee
He's so adorable
This is gonna be the next Harry Potter
*but better*
Marion School News yes
The land of stories is pretty much the only book series I love and I am so excited for the movie !
I LOVE HIM AND HIS STORIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i still waiting there for this film :(
Still waiting for the amazingness Chris
I can’t wait for the film!
I've only read the first three but I love them ! I really want the next ones
My son luvs his books I never knew it was the same person from Glee omg
I’m actually curious to see the original Land of Stories draft from when he was 7
Agree
chris should defo make another land of stories series where CHARLOTTE (connor's granddaughter) is the main character because at the end of the book she discovered a lil something
yes but all the nolstalgic fairy tale characters are now old at that point so itl be weird writting a book about a kid adventuring with old cinderella or old red riding hood uk.
When is the movie coming out
I cried when I finished the sixth book bye bye Alex and connor😥😢😓😭😭😢
Omg I just got done reading the book really good 👌🏻
If you ask me, Lilly Collins would be perfect for Snow White in this movie!!
Me: *watches first 8 seconds of the video*
Also me: . . .
i ment 12 seconds
WHEN IS THIS COMING OUT?! And I wish I could be Alex, I have strawberry blond hair and blue eyes just like they say Alex looks like in the first book! PLZ EXEPT ME
I can't wait for his new film and I also hope they make a kingdom keepers film
I love land of stories
i really really love The LoS
Yes im super excited everyday i whould wish it was a movie land of stories will be my new favorate movie!
This has to either be upcoming or not coming because it has been four years and it’s still not realesed
Yesh 😍😍
My book comes in tomorrow
Still waiting in 2024
