Along the same lines are all the Young Adult adaptations going into production. Harry Potter and Twilight showed they have staying power as franchises, but other YA series and vampire/werewolf flicks have not achieved a similar level of success (Think Percy Jackson and Daybreakers). YA series, such as The Mortal Instruments, Vampire Academy, and The Hunger Games are gearing up for their big screen debuts, but these series, unlike Percy Jackson and City of Ember, have an advantage of reaching an older demographic beyond teen readers. So with all these new movies on the horizon, is the very news of them too much already? If Red Riding Hood succeeds (or fails) what will it mean for all these upcoming fairy tales?
