I read on tumblr that they actually asked the author permission to make it a movie series, but they wanted to cast a white actor as the main character, so he said no. I didn't check the source, so it could be fake, but it definitely sounds plausible. I'm following Rick Riordan on tumblr (the author of Percy Jackson), and every few weeks he complains about international covers of his books where the characters are whitewashed. And then we had the epic fail that was the Stonewall trailer, just a few days ago. They whitewashed history, what the fuck.
So yep, I'd love to have a tv series so much, but I'm also really worried they'd do a mess with the casting.
