Connections, in both directions
Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010)
Directed by Chris Columbus
influenced by The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising (2007)
From 2007's " The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising " to 2008's " City of Ember " to 2009's " Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant ," finding the next "Harry Potter" franchise has been more difficult than anticipated.
The 5th Wave (2016)
Directed by J Blakeson
influenced by The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising (2007)
Themes
In moves of desperation not seen since the studios started cranking out teen fantasy hopefuls like “Eragon,” “The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising,” “City of Ember,” “I Am Number Four” and “Inkheart” as the end to “Harry Potter” loomed, the studios are doing the same with young adult dystopian adventures.
The Maze Runner (2014)
Directed by Wes Ball
influenced by The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising (2007)
Plot
For every Harry Potter, there’s a forgettable knock-off like Eragon or The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising; for every Twilight, we get a Beautiful Creatures or The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.
