City of Ember
“It is always night in the city of Ember. But there is no moon, no stars. The only light during the regular twelve hours of “day” comes from floodlamps that cast a yellowish glow over the streets of the city. Beyond are the pitch-black Unknown Regions, which no one has ever explored because an understanding of fire and electricity has been lost, and with it the idea of a Moveable Light. “Besides,” they tell each other, “there is nowhere but here” Among the many other things the people of Ember have forgotten is their past and a direction for their future. For 250 years they have lived pleasantly, because there has been plenty of everything in the vast storerooms. But now there are more and more empty shelves–and more and more times when the lights flicker and go out, leaving them in terrifying blackness for long minutes. What will happen when the generator finally fails?

I cannot wait to see this film and that is just based on the 30sec trailer. The City of Ember
books are so good that I think making the novels into a live action/adventure is an
excellent idea. Although it is mainly a children’s movie the dark undertones of the
apocalyptic script will appeal to all ages. Plus the talented cast from Tim Robbins to Bill
Murray could also help.
My name is Blair and I am an official ambassador for City of Ember and I have access to first-look pics of the movie not seen in the trailer, which I would be more than happy to share with you. I would love to have your help spreading the word about City of Ember and get the buzz going!
I hope I’m not over stepping any bounds by posting on your blog.
Hope to speak with you soon.
Best,
Blair Landon
