(Interestingly, it looks like the Amazon Prime series will skip over most of the events in the Stormbreaker book, instead basing its main season one mystery on Point Blanc – the second book in the series.)īut what went wrong with Operation Stormbreaker? Why were there no sequels, and why did that film franchise fail to take flight? Read on to learn all… It looked so good on paperįirst off, let’s take a moment to appreciate just how good the Stormbreakerfilm looked on paper. Operation Stormbreaker ended up being a one-off movie, paving the way (inadvertently) for Sony to return years later and put this rebooted TV series into production. Those Stormbreaker sequel books, however, were never adapted into films. After all, Harry Potter was all the rage at the time, and the Alex Rider series boasts 11 books to Potter’s 7. The companies that invested in the film – which included The Weinstein Company in the US, and MPC, Samuelson Productions and Isle Of Man Film in the UK – presumably went into the production of the movie hoping to spark an on-going film franchise. A fairly faithful adaptation of the first book in Horowitz’s series, with a few added action scenes and beefed out roles for the supporting players, the Stormbreaker movie was an inoffensive way to spend a brisk 93 minutes. That film was Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker(or simply Stormbreaker, as it was called in the UK). But long before the upcoming Amazon Prime series was a twinkle in anybody’s eye, a feature-length film starring some high-profile British actors arrived in cinemas in 2006. Villa.There’s a sense that history is repeating itself right now, with our entertainment overlords once again deciding that a live-action adaptation of Anthony Horowitz’s Alex Rider novels is exactly what we need.
