* DisownedAdaptation: According to author Joseph Delaney on [[https://josephdelaneyauthor.com/blog/1026/ his blog]] "I think the film is fun and worth watching once, but I am not happy with it. A Netflix series with time to develop characters and have full dialogue would be much better. I have no control over what happens and the rights still belong to the film people but I do hope that will change."

* StillbornFranchise: The open ending certainly left room for at least one more sequel, despite how much different this film is from the first book (mainly because the film cobbled together several elements of the novels into one), but the disastrous box office and pitiful reviews pretty much doomed any possibility of a potential franchise. It's nothing the book's fans would be complaining about though.
