I was in Barnes and Noble the other night and noticed that they had King Dork on display, and even though I read it when it first came out I continued to pick it up and noticed it had an excerpt or intro or something to Franks new book. So I sat down and read the 8 or so pages containing this excerpt and I enjoyed it more than I enjoyed all of King Dork (and I enjoyed King Dork quite a bit).

From the few pages that were provided I was able to notice Franks advances as an author, and it really made me excited for the book to finally come out. I have been waiting since I first heard about it over a year ago.

Too bad it won't come out for another year and ten days if everything goes to plan.

Questions:

Did they start filming King Dork yet or announce who is going to be in it?

Is Frank still writing new music or is he just writing novels? And if he is will it be released as MTX or as Dr. Frank?

He's still active frontman and songwriter for MTX... it's just that he has had a lot on his plate for the past two or three years.

Well I mean I know they still pay together once in a while but is there any new material to look forward to?

uh, i don't think so. i think that's what the holdup is all about.

Eight more months I guess?

King Dork the movie is listed as still being "in development" as recently as 12/5, with a projected release date of 2010.

It usually takes about 3 years for optioned material to go into production, but I imagine this project provided some interesting challenges turning it from book to script.

Yeah, I didn't read the book until after it was optioned and the thing most difficult to transition is a story told in the first person.

Hopefully, it has a better future than Catcher In The Rye did.

Frank announced on the Random House forum that King Dork will be a 5 book series. I'm interested to see how it pans out.

I've never been this excited for a book to come out before.

officialjose · « **Reply #15 on:** July 27, 2009, 02:12:55 AM »

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to this.

I had an ex buy king dork for me, didn't finish it before we split and she took it with her, but from what I read, it was semi ok, but not anything too great. maybe I should try picking it up again.

OHZombie · « **Reply #17 on:** July 27, 2009, 02:48:14 AM »

I found it to be semi-ok too, but could see how I might find this a great book if I were in my early teenage years.

mattmattmatt · « **Reply #18 on:** July 27, 2009, 02:51:31 AM »

I'm in my mid 20's and found it great.

hanny · « **Reply #19 on:** July 27, 2009, 09:05:38 AM »

yeah, i re-read it in the spring and loved it more than i remember loving it. really awesome. i'm super-excited for andromeda klein, as well as king dork approximately.

Also, the director of King of Kong is eyeing up the King Dork adaptation. That would rule

I got an advance review copy of Andromeda Klein over the weekend. The official release date is still 8/25.
