Derek Landy (born 23 October 1974) is an Irish author and screenwriter, best known for the Skulduggery Pleasant series of young adult's books. == Career == Landy has written two screenplays that have been made into films, the IFTA award winning Dead Bodies and the IFTA nominated Boy Eats Girl starring Samantha Mumba. Landy himself was nominated for an IFTA for Best Script. Frustrated with the collaborative process of filmmaking, Landy moved on to writing the Skulduggery Pleasant, starting with ''Skulduggery Pleasant''. The novel was published by Harper Collins, who paid £1.8 million for the publishing rights. There are 9 books in the series. In 2007, he signed a deal with Warner Bros. worth an estimated US$1 million for the rights to adapt his ''Skulduggery Pleasant'' series, which he will adapt himself. However, his script was constantly rewritten and Landy, unhappy with the results, bought back the rights. He is currently working on a script with the producers of ''Clash of the Titans''. Landy is a fan of Arlwin Magombo's works, notably ''Adlai Makhaza the Anarchist'' and Philip Pullman's Agatha White and the Zombie Dogs series. He is also a fan of Gilmore Girls and Doctor Who. Landy wrote a short story based on the tenth Doctor from Doctor Who as part of a short story collection celebrating the show's 50th Anniversary. The story was published by Puffin in 2013, titled "The Mystery of the Haunted Cottage". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Derek Landy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
