City of Ember is an upcoming film by Walden Media based on the 2003 novel The City of Ember by Jeanne Duprau. The novel was adapted by Caroline Thompson, and the film will be directed by Gil Kenan. City of Ember will be released on October 10, 2008. The movie is rated PG.
The story follows two children, Lina Mayfleet and Doon Harrow, who live in the City of Ember, an underground city built to house a human community for 200 years. Having reached the end of its 200-year mission, Ember's power source begins to become problematic and the lamps start to flicker, because the generator that powers the city has broken and cannot be repaired. Together, the children search for clues that will unlock ancient mysteries about the city and save the people of Ember before it's too late. For generations, the people of the City of Ember have flourished in an amazing world of glittering lights. But Ember's once powerful generator is failing ... and the great lamps that illuminate the city are starting to flicker. Now, two teenagers in a race against time, must search Ember for clues that will unlock the ancient mystery of the city's existence, and help the citizens escape before the lights go out forever.
Ember is a city built to last 200 years. The Builders of this city left instructions to the mayors in a box that would open by itself, unfortunately, one of the mayors was corrupt, and tossed the box into a closet, to be forgotten about for centuries. The year is 241. Lina Mayfleet, and Doon Harrow are two children in Ember that find themselves on a mission to save their dying city. For the citys lights are beginning to flicker, and the food supplies are running out. Doon lands a job in the Pipeworks, to see if he can fix the generator. Linas job is simple, she is a messenger, but she soon finds herself in over her head when she discovers the instructions left by the builders so long ago. Her and Doon find themselves on an adventure when they discover the way out of Ember, but corrupt officials, and a treacherous mayor stand against their wishes of saving the city. With courage and heart they brave the darkness, all to help their citizens escape the dying city, and lead them to another world.
In October 2004, Playtone partners Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman purchased film rights to Jeanne Duprau's 2003 novel The City of Ember. They entered negotiations with Caroline Thompson to adapt the novel and Gil Kenan to direct the film. The deal also includes an option on the sequel novel The People of Sparks. Filming was scheduled to begin in early summer of 2007 and to wrap up in October of the same year, a 16-week shooting process. A former paint hall in the shipyard of Harland and Wolff in Belfast's Titanic Quarter was converted into the post-apocalyptic city. Other filming sites included England, Romania, Prague, and Berlin.
