Cast

Is there any way to find out who's in this film? 76.202.217.159 01:02, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't think they've cast anyone for the film yet. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 01:04, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

They have not cast anybody to play Doon or if they have they have not announced who it is. User:M.Naff

Poster

On the rotten tomatoes listing. where did they get that? Limetolime 02:00, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Not sure, but doesn't seem official. If it pops up on other places, we can include it. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 15:15, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Future movies (sequels to Ember)

Ember has sequel novels, one before Ember, The Prophet of Yonwood (the third book), and one after Ember, The People of Sparks (second book). Ember is the first book, so there is a possibility of sequels to the movie if this movie is succesful! Also another book is to come out called The Diamond of Darkhold.

There is another movie, the people of sparks, coming out in December 09, this idiot on the talk page thinks it isn't true though, we have all the proof we need right here. Listen to da music (talk) 16:01, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

How is that proof? DBAD. —C Teng^(talk) 16:50, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Merger proposal

This movie could be combined with its book article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.234.184.67 (talk) 12:55, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Usually not a good idea if there are significant plot differences... AnonMoos (talk) 07:18, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

The plot as described in the book's page isn't significantly different from the plot in the movie. Maybe merge them and then have a section for "differences in the film version" or the like? 70.90.171.153 (talk) 23:48, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

The movie completely butchers the book. The book should not be disgraced even more by having the movie in the same article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.245.241.38 (talk) 01:32, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Okay, first of all, wikipedia isn't a place for you to share your opinions. Second, if you think this movie butchers the book, then you haven't seen very many book-movie adaptations. Third, having the book disgraced is not an excuse for not having the movie in the same article as the book. Finally, this article is not just about plot. Look at the six other sections. So don't merge. —C Teng^(talk) 23:16, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Budget

Here you wrote the budget was $38 million dollars, while on http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=cityofember.htm it is reported that the production budget was $55 millions. Who's right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.4.193.226 (talk) 20:32, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Giant Creatures

Is there no explanation why the creatures in the film are so large? There is a scene, showing a book, implying that this difference is something that has happened since people started living in Ember. --Robinson weijman (talk) 21:28, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

No explanation in the film; however, I'm guessing it had something to do with mutation (nuclear war possibly) and evolution. C Teng ^[talk] 18:11, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

OK thanks --Robinson weijman (talk) 19:19, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Within the plot, the article indicates that the protagonists were chased by a "Leonardo lion". Later in the plot, the article includes that the mayor was "devoured by the giant mole". I'm not sure if the contributor who wrote this is trying to be fancy with words or why they chose to liken the giant mole with a Leonardo lion. I understand that a Leonardo lion is/was a sketch by Leonardo DaVinci of a mechanical lion, but i think its a bit of a stretch to assimilate in this context. I'm not a wikipedia expert, but if they were chased by a giant mole, the article should call it a giant mole. Cory.m.voss (talk) 20:06, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

How so? This article is for the film, the article you link is for the book the film is based on.129.215.232.53 (talk) 09:38, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Ending

While the plot summary says the rock with the note at the end is found by mrs. murdao, I just watched the movie and it ended with doone's father finding the rock. Was this a mistake or were there 2 endings released for the movie? 94.159.193.141 (talk) 14:30, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
