Wow! Congrats. Can't wait to see it.

That is awesome!! Congrats!
Here is to continued success!

Hope it works out. I devoured all three books one after another. Congrats on your well deserved success.

That is amazing and wonderful news!! Congratulations! I will be first in line to order tickets to see Janie and Cabe on the big screen. I hope it all works out.

This.
Is.
Awesome.

Wow. Thats really good. Even though, I would not like to see Miley as the lead role...

Congrats, Lisa! This is AWESOME news (except the Miley Cyrus as Janie bit). Make sure you negotiate for at least consultation rights over the script and anything else you can get! We don't want your writing completely disregarded by Hollywood!

This is amazing!!!! Congrats! (I kind of don't really want Miley Cyrus to play Janie. I was thinking like Alexa Vega...)

That is so wonderful!!! I am out of my mind excited for you. I'll never forget being with you in New York when you weren't quite sure why you were getting all that attention from your publisher. It's because you are awesome, my lady!

Love ya,
Lisa

wow that's awesome!
I think it would be a GREAT movie!

but...miley cyrus? -shudder- I just don't think she is the right person for Janie at ALL. So I hope she isn't...

Wow! How cool!

Awesome that the rights are picked up....
Not so much that Miley Cyrus is being considered. She is NOTHING like I imagine Janie, and I might not see it if she's in it, honestly.

Nevertheless, let's hope something good happens!

I absolutely LOVE Miley Cyrus and was actually hoping she would play a role that shows some of her new edgyness she has going on right now. However, I haven't read the novels yet. But I think this will make me want to read them just I can be more influenced to watch the movie with Miley in it! :D I think she will do a great job. GOOD CHOICE LISA!

Paramount and MTV Films: Cool, they make above average movies.

Disturbia Director: Awesome, the look and feal of that movie is something great to bring to Wake.

Miley Cyrus: Seriously? I will run to that girl's house and torch it if she even dares to consider ruining your book, Lisa.

I hope the news is still true. It's always fun to see books get a boost when they go to the silver screen.

This is really cool news!!!! I would love to see the book come to life on the big screen but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LET MILEY CYRUS RUIN THIS BY PLAYING JANIE!!!!!!!! she is a terrible actress and she could not pull of the role.

but other than that this is great news. just dont let miley near the movie set please and thank you :]

I really hope it's a movie, however, without Miley Cyrus. lol. She's Hannah Montana, and trying any other roles would bring the pop star-y-ness into it.

I do think it's a bit odd for Miley to be Janie...I like Miley as an actress, but I just don't see her as Janie quite honestly.

Oh well, I'm super stoked it's finally going to be a film! I knew it would happy.

MTV/Paramount is awesome and I loved Disturbia, so yay.

soo congrats. I just got Wake two days again and have started reading. And for miley cyrus as janie.... uhhh please dont have her. Like im begging. Shes already the lead roll in wings and honestly, i dont like her acting. I think a lot of people wont see the movie if she stars in it. Im not saying i hate her, i just hate her acting..... But like i said befor congrats!! I pray that miley wont get the roll, and i pray that they would do a great job on the movie. :)

WAKE movie? Awesome. You must be completely thrilled! I only ask you make sure they keep close to the book, but, as someone who has directed films based on stories, I know how hard this may be and keep it at a decent length.

Paramount/MTV studios: Eh, considering their movies, I'm not so sure on this, but Paramount did do both Iron Mans, and those was pretty good, so I'll keep an open mind.

Miley Cyrus? NO. I have no interest in seeing her in any movies. I hope they can find someone better.

I'll certainly keep my eye out for details :)

Congrats Lisa :D

This is GREAT NEWS! I KNOW they can find a better actress to play the role of Janie. If I may make a suggestion, Katie Cassidy, Taylor Momsen, or Dakota Fanning look like they got the chops to pull it of ;)

I'm so happy for you and can't wait to see all three of your books made into movies.

Congrats on the great news, Lisa!

If I may make a suggestion, ANNASOPHIA ROBB. She's a great actress, and would be perfect for the role, they'd just have to give her brown hair :D

This is great news! Can't wait!
Although, in all honesty, I believe the movie will be brought down greatly if you choose said (ex?) Disney star to portray Janie. The one word that comes to mine is CATASTORPHE! MERDE! DEGOUTANT! Don't want to bash anyone (....okay, that's only half-true...), feel free to think what you like, but it's just my opinion. Great news, none-the-less.

Congrats. Very excited to see the how the film turns out enjoyed all of the books,but very disappointed that Miley cyrus may be the lead.

Wow, congrats ! I can't wait to see your books turned into a movie ! And I would love to see Miley Cyrus be in it. Awesome ! You must be thrilled :D

~Alison

Wow congratulations! I hope it works out i would love to see janie and cable's story come to the big screen! I like the director but I think it would be a huge set back if you use miley cyrus as the lead I'm sorry to say that if she was in it I would most likely not see it but still congrats on the movie deal and hope it works out, but just not with miley cyrus

i cant believe it miley cyrus??? whyy her she does not look like the janies me or my friends imagined not at alll!! she would totally ruin the aspect of the awsome books!!! i suggest alexa vega!

i cant believe it miley cyrus??? whyy her she does not look like the janies me or my friends imagined not at alll!! she would totally ruin the aspect of the awsome books!!! i suggest alexa vega!

PLEASE DONT LET MILEY CYRUS BE THE STAR!!!!!!!

OMG!! I'm so thrilled it'll be a movie! CONGRATS!! :D

Although... NOT Miley Cyrus!! *shakes head*

Still... Awesome news!

Amazing news! So happy for you Lisa! And so happy for the fans of WAKE!
The WAKE trilogy is perfect for the screen.
Congratulations and much Love to you!
This is proof that good things do happen to good people!

Finally Lisa!
Congrat's on Everything Ive been reading your books from the start and have been inseperable since then. Cant wait to see the Movie
But.......... Miley??? She is very talented but i would really want to see a new face instead of these disney star's taking all the roles and not even doing a good job of it. But i dont know how this whole movie buisness works but dont let them ruin a wonderful story by putting her in it.

I've always thought your series would be a great movie, CONGRATS!

Congratulations, Lisa! Cheers to Wake! :D

I'm glad the majority of us HATE Miley Cyrus. I've been talking to my friends about it all night and we've unanimously decided she would ruin the movie!

We understand the money wise it would be great for you, but quality wise it would SUCK for us! Sorry that we're all kind of responding negatively to such great news, but this is kind of a Morton's Fork kinda thing ;) either we have the movie with Miley or maybe no movie at all :(

We all still love you Lisa no matter what!

P.S. Alexa Vega would be PERFECT for Janie!

YAY!! How awesome for you Lisa!! I hope it actually comes to fruition! I would LOVE to see the entire series become movies eventually!

I know you don't control casting & whoever they get will be fine...just happy it'll be a movie! But, how about Emma Roberts or Emma Watson for Janie? Or Dakota Fanning even? She could dye her hair...

Anyway, congrats! Can't wait to hear more details as they develop!!

Yay, Lisa! AWESOME.

I AM SO HAPPY, THE WAKE TRILOGY IS FINALLY A MOVIE!!! :D (4 seconds later) MILEY CYRUS! DX ARE YOU kidding me?! I know her mom is the producer, but if that wannabe can't act actress gets it I am tearing every movie poster, boycotting, and not to mention protest. I don't want Lisa McMann to end up in the same direction of Sparks after the last song got 3 stars out of 10

I am so happy that these books might get made into a movie! But are you kidding me?! Miley Cyrus?!?!! I no that you all can find a better actress for Janie. Miley couldn't pull it off. I pray to God that she doesn't get the part!

AHH MOVIE!!

But Miley...I hope not!

WOW congrats! i was just watching E news and i heard them say Miley is gonna be playing in a thriller movie called WAKE ...i was like is this lisa McMann's WAKE?... haha then i looked on here and... yep it was. :D IM SO EXCITED!

This could be quite amazing, but I'm hoping Hollywood doesn't ruin it, and Miley Cyrus?? That should definitely NOT happen. I think someone lesser known would be better. That way its not over-promoted. With her I think people would lose focus on the books/the story and just be: 'OMG, its miley!!'

I know this is dampening your great mood, but your fans are pretty much unanimous.

If you can do anything, beg them NOT to have Miley portray Janie. Another part maybe, just not the lead.

I'm super excited to see this, but...Miley Cyrus? She doesn't so much act as snarl and pout...

Congratulations on the movie, that's so exciting to know the books have been received so well by so many people. I hate to contribute to the snark, and I know you have no control over casting, but Miley would be a terrible Janie. The demographic of the books is so not the same as that of the Disney Channel. Personally, I hope Miley realizes that she's just not right for the role and pulls out.

I just finished the books this week. Loved them and excited to see it might be made into a movie. Congrats.

Wow this is gonna be awesome but no Miley Cyrus, please.

Congrats! This is a terrific book, and will make a terrific movie.

I've already written it on Facebook, but this is so exciting Lisa, congratulations!! You truly deserve it. Can't wait to see Janie and Cabel come to life! AH!!! :D

Its amazing that the book(s) will be made into a movie. but the majority of Wake's readers DO NOT want miley cyrus. she's not so popular with yound adults and the older crowd. her popularity has been more focused on smaller children for a long time now. quiter frankly nobody wants to see her ruin this film and get credit for the movies future poularity because most of the veiwers wuold go to see the book put into action not to see her (which i personally would be gagging the whole time she's on screen tryig-and failing-to act)

This was one of my FAVORITE!! Soooooo excited!! Congratulations!

yay! Congrats!!!!!! Is there someone we can talk too though about Miley Cyrus? LOL...Please NO...not Miley! LOL

WOW! This is really good news! Congrats!

I can not wait to see it on the big screen, but please do not cast Miley Cyrus. If you have any pull at all with this please DON'T DO IT! She butchered The Last Song! PLEASE DON'T DO IT!!! That breaks my heart!

If you have any power at all over the casting, please do NOT allow Miley Cyrus to play Janie. It'll be a big disappointment to many of your fans, and I personally don't think she'd capture the character well.

Oh My Goth.
Cant wait for the movies.
Cabel is HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

cool beans i'm soooooooooo happey just plzzz what ever u do dont have miley in it she'll ruen it i didnt even see last song cuz of her
