Artemis Fowl teaser trailer for Disney’s long-awaited movie

The popular novel Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer is joining Disney’s stable of stories. The long-awaited movie will follow the 12-year-old super genius Artemis Fowl, the latest in a long line of criminals masterminds, who finds himself thrust into a battle with magical forces that live just below the surface in a world very much like ours today.

The Disney production has been flying a bit under the radar until now, but all that changes today with the release of the first teaser trailer, which you can watch here:

It’s been a long wait for fans of the Artemis Fowl series. The first book came out in 2001 and seven books followed. If this movie takes off with audiences, Disney might have another mega-franchise on its hands.
