Trivia

According to author Eoin Colfer, one of the early attempts by the Weinstein Company to adapt his book in the 2000s resulted in a screenplay that was best described as a Scary Movie (2000)-like parody-pastiche of other fantasy series. It even included characters from Lord of the Rings. "It really wasn't an Artemis Fowl movie at all, it was just using the name. That was truly horrifying. With each new director, my heart sank a little bit more."
