Sweep–The Movie

So they’ve finally announced it in Variety–Sweep might become a movie. Here’s a link for more info:

I don’t know much more than you do, at this point–Alloy, which owns half of Sweep, made the deal. But I really love the screenwriter they’ve hired for the adaptation–he adapted one of my favorite movies, Chocolat, and has done several other terrific movies, so I feel like I’m in good hands.

But I don’t know anything about the schedule or timeline or casting–I won’t be involved in any of that. The author usually isn’t, unless they’re much bigger and more powerful than I am!

Thanks to everyone’s good wishes, and for all the excited tweets and posts! It’s so gratifying to see!

What’s really perplexed me is all the negative comments on some of the film sites, with people hating on Sweep without having read any of them, and saying it’s just like Harry Potter and Twilight. It’s so weird! Why don’t they read one of them first? Then they can hate on it if they want. It’s the dissing without knowing what they’re talking about that’s freaking me out.

But anyway: Sweep movie, possibly. Many things can still not work out. But my fingers are crossed. Thanks so much for all your support!

    Hi Cate, first and foremost I love the Sweep series. I started reading the series back in 2001. I was just wondering why the covers to series have changed. I know it has nothing to do with the actual story, however, the oringinal covers seem to fit the story better. In my opinion at least.

  4. Robin says:

    Hi Cate … I have fallen in love with the entire “Sweep” series – and I am so glad that I have discovered your books before the movie. Although I thoroughly enjoy a great movie (which I’m sure it will be) … Movies never seem to do the book justice. I am glad I have read your books so my mind’s eye can envision Morgan and all of her plights and conquests before the director fastens his vision to the masses. Thank you for your vision – for your soul pored upon the pages of your book. I look forward having more adventures customized by your inter-being.

  5. Cynthia says:

    I really hope they make the movies! I just recently have gotten all the books I had been missing in the series. They have a lovely home on my book shelf now. :)

  6. Amy says:

    Read the books! They don’t always end happy! The movies would be epic! Thos ebokks were so addcitng I couldn’t put them down! Make The Movie!

  7. erin says:

    i love the sweep books everyday when i go to read them it controls my mind body and soul your a very talented writer you know how to bring them to life i couldnt have found a better collection to read…thanks so much and the movie will be a hit i know it maybe even better than twilight :-)

  8. Michelle says:

    I love sweep books. I have always wished that they would be made into a tv show so each week we could see more chapter by chapter. I have read and re read this series with each time unable to put them down. this is not like harry or twilight it is sooooooooooooooooo much better

  9. ray says:

    I loved your books in grade school and I still do!!! I’m just finding it hard to see the series, even if they just do several of the books (to see if the response is trilogy worthy), as a movie… I would much rather see Sweep as a TV series, wouldn’t you?! I’d rather have the story played out for longer and I can see so many cliff hanger moments as season finales! I can see it as having a feel much like the Vampire Diaries. It has no problem capturing a teen audience and it can be dark and moody, with melodramatic soundtracks, not unlike all the good supernatural shows out there… Honestly it can compete with the best of them, given the right casting, writers and directing. Sweep deserves a longer runtime: the relationships and characters need to be fleshed out for more than just 2 hours!!!

  10. ki-la says:

    Omibob! A movie!?! I really hope that it all turns out well. I honestly love this series; it is one of my favorites and I hope it is done justice.
    It is true that a TV series would be cooler, but a movie is still cool. I just hope that the essence of the novels is captured rather than just the story’s surface.
    Anyway, you have written an amazing series with Sweep and it deserves the best :)

    i love the wicca series (its known as that in the uk) i’ve bin reading them since i was 11 i have them all i hope they really do make a movie although it would be good as a series i just hope they get it right and don’t leave anything out or change anything i wish you would make more of the wicca series i didnt want it to end i cried at the last book

  12. Cyn says:

    It would be awesome if these books became movies! I started reading them about two years ago and got hooked and i loved them.!! So thumbs up on the movie making.!!! (-’^.^)-’

  13. Kit says:

    Yey :D Can’t wait for this. Can’t believe people would compare to Twilight, Sweep came first :|

  14. sweeplover says:

    i dont read books at al, sweep is the only books that i read ,i am so happy it will be a movie

  15. Julia says:

    My aunt gave the first and second volume for Christmas and every time I finished one volume I bought another and the fifth volume comes out in December.The only reason I get the book in December is because I buy them in volumes which has 3 books in each volume and there’s 5 volume and only have 4 of them because the 5th one comes out in December. I can’t wait !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  16. Tanya says:

    Hey Cate!

    Its been many years since I’ve read the Sweep series (I’ve got to buy three more to complete my series, then its on!)… But I remember devouring one book after the next (as a teenager) – such a fantastic series! Just have to say thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful and intricate world! And so … as you might imagine, I’m delighted to hear that there could be a movie! Fingers crossed it makes it to New Zealand’s shores :)

    :)

  17. Lexi says:

    That is amazing news! I’ve been a fan of this series for many years now. I still have first editions ;) I’m glad Sweep is getting the attention it deserves. It’s an amazing series. But, I think at least, it would be better suited to a TV series… It is a rather lengthy series with lots of characters. Ah well… I’m still excited to see what happens.

  18. Angela says:

    I love the books and I have been saying that they should make the series in to a movie I am so existed I think that the movie will take off that is how good the book are.

  19. cloie says:

  20. Seth says:

    I cannot believe people are so mean, and hating on Sweep before they’ve even read it. Let me tell you, I only just started the Sweep series back on Oct 3rd on my Kindle, and I’m already on the Calling! I can’t absorb the books fast enough! Every chance I get, I wanna read more! Bravissimo, Cate! You are very a talented lady!

  21. Asbel Garcia says:

  23. Eliza says:

  24. Gabrielle says:

  30. doni says:

  35. Nicole says:

    That’s fantastic! Congratulations! I first started reading the series when I was 13 and have read it at least two other times! I’m 21 now and have just started up on it again and it is so nostalgic, I just love it!

  36. Kitten says:

    I was working at my library when I saw the Book of Shadows. It was brand new and it seemed like a book I would enjoy. I was hooked on the series by then end of the first book and went out and bought the ones that were out at the time and from then continued on. I loved them so much and love them still. I am constantly trying to get others to read them. And when I find others who have and enjoyed them as well I feel like I made a new friend!

  37. Julia says:

    I love sweep my email has the name sweep in it because i love sweep so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait til the movie comes out. I was wondering is the going to have all the books in it? Just wondering.

  38. Eli says:

    OMG! a movie about the Sweep series, im in love with the book. Since ive started reading it if been mesmorized. i love the character Morgan, and Hunter, and even Cal. i was shoked that Cal was evil, he sounded irresistable. but how many guys with a dark side arent. Anyways, im reading the series for the second time and i cant get enough. i feel like im right there in the story, sometimes i even feel like i could be morgan. She’s very relatable and can easily be viewed. keep up the good work, and i hope your movie will be a success :)

  39. Bane says:

    Sweep is one of the best fictional books in Witchcraft. Even though it is fictional, it displayed the love of the characters to the Goddess and I love the presentation of Wicca in these books. It also showed the Craft in a clearer perspective…

  40. claire says:

    God, I read these in 8th grade and they were AMAZING. Now that I forgot most of them. I’m reading them again. Its tantalizing how the suspense is still in my nerves. <3 love this series. And yeah, don't even compare these books to others. These are just the best in the world. (:

  41. Jenifer says:

    I absolutely LOVE the Sweep books. I think they would make a great movie. But they should do it somewhat like the twilight books and not combine all of the books into one but make sequels of them.

  42. Crystal says:

    NO WAY!!! I have to reread the book to remember it exactly but what I remember it was awesome! Man if I lived in California I would sooo try to get that part though!!

  43. Autumn says:

    I LOVE THE SWEEP SERIES! THEY ARE MY FAVORITE BOOKS EVER!!! :) I’M IN LOVE WITH YOUR BOOKS! I CRACK OPEN YOUR BOOKS ANYTIME I CAN GET :) I was wondering, could you give me some tips on writing? I would love to write my own book one day, in fact i’m writing a short story right now. :) thank you for your time and your brilliance!

  44. alice says:

    hey i just wanted to say that i alwell am a fan of your sweep books. they are good and i love how you tried hard to get everything you put in there about wicca right. my religain is wicca and it has been that way for a long time in my family, and to read a book about it thats so close to right its amazing. :)

  45. Andrea says:

    Sweep is an awsome series and i hope the movie comes out good!!! P.S.I LOVE HUNTER!!!!!!

  46. Sommer says:

    I only recently discovered this series and i have flown through them. I stumbled on this sight by tryin to find a book im missing online and im super excited about this!!! The movie will be epic

  47. Julia says:

    I love sweep so much!!!!! I just can’t belive there are no more books. I was crying when I read the last sentence because that was the last book.

  48. Gaia says:

    OMG this is a great thing!
    Just remember: YOU are the writer, Cate. YOU are the Goddess of YOUR books, so be severe if the film is made because I hate when movie makers change things (even little ones) about the books.
    That’s all. Do not listen to those people who hate Sweep even when the don’t know it. It’s just, what can I say, being delirious.
    Sorry for my bad english *blush*

  49. Wiccan Chick says:

    Hey! I just became Christian Wiccan, and was looking for a Wiccan book. It’s SOO hard finding them, since I live in GA, the Southern Baptist state! Anyway, I went to a store one day, and found a book called Sweep. I thought to myself ‘that sounds Wiccan’! Unfortunately, it was the last three books in the series, but when I looked on the back, and read the first two names ‘Book of Shadows’ and ‘The Coven’, I knew it HAD to be Wiccan, so I went on a relentless search, until I found the first three books. Now I’m on the third! Thanks so much for helping me in my Wiccan studies!
