Artemis Fowl Short Story
Artemis Fowl is a latest American science fantasy adventure film based on the 2001 novel of the same name by Eoin Colfer that is set to debut on Disney Plus. Kenneth Branagh is the director of the film and the film has co-written by Conor McPherson and Hamish McColl, the film stars Ferdia Shaw, Lara McDonnell, Josh Gad, Tamara Smart, Nonso Anozie, Colin Farrell, and Judi Dench. The film will be released on Disney+ on June 12, 2020.
In 2001 The plans were declared for a film adaptation of the series. Miramax Films was named as buying the film rights with Lawrence Guterman signed to direct and Jeff Stockwell to write.
In 2003 Colfer expressed that a screenplay had been finished and that casting was due to start the same year but expressed skepticism over whether or not this would come to pass. The film stayed being developed and was assumed to be in development hell until 2011 when it was reported that Jim Sheridan was interested in directing the movie.
In 2013 Walt Disney Pictures declared that an Artemis Fowl film covering the events of the first and second novels of the series would be produced by Disney and The Weinstein Company with the screenplay by Michael Goldenberg. Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal signed onto the project as executive producers.
In 2015, Variety revealed that Kenneth Branagh had been hired to direct the film for Disney, with Irish playwright Conor McPherson as screenwriter and Judy Hofflund as an executive producer. On 12, 2017 Disney declared that the film adaptation would be released in August 2019. The following month Disney removed Harvey Weinstein as the producer of the film and terminated its production partnership with The Weinstein Company following a sexual misconduct scandal involving Weinstein.
Colfer supports the changes from the source material in the film.

Author Eoin Colfer will appear as an extra. Describing his one scene, filmed in Northern Ireland, Colfer said: "I walked across a field with a lot of other people. It wasn’t too taxing – although I did manage to get it wrong a few times. The only direction they gave was: 'Walk across the field and don’t look at the camera.' I must have looked at the camera for about 20 times. I have a new respect for actors."
