The Blood Of Judas… Before The Tribe series began, Raymond Thompson teamed up with Harry Duffin to help write the series. It has now been around five years since The Tribe finished producing and airing. Since then Harry Duffin has teamed up with with David Richard Fox, another core writer who wrote episodes of The Tribe, and they have written a screenplay as well as a novel for the series. It was known that work begun on a movie for The Tribe back in 2003, the book/novel seems to be based on that screenplay.
Could the book have been the ‘tribal revival’ that Tribeworld was hinting at a while ago? (Back in 2007!?!)…
The novel, co-written by Harry and David, is titled The Blood Of Judas. In an interview for The Tribe anniversary section, Harry talks about working on The Tribe series and talks more about the book, hopefully the interview will be online soon, but till it is, here is an extract…
With the book Dave and I were given the opportunity to be more ‘real’ about what life would really be like if the world was left to teenagers to run. We had much less censorship about what we could portray than on a TV series that was marked as ‘childrens’ television. So, the screenplay and novel are a more ‘adult’ take on the original premise as you will see when they finally hit the page and the screen, which I am convinced they will one day.
The book definitely sounds interesting. The previous Tribe book Power And Chaos, written by Paula Boock, covered the back story of Martin/Zoot, though it contained a few flaws and was not written by the actual people behind the TV series.
‘The Blood Of Judas’ is currently doing the rounds with publishers in both the UK and US. It may be early days to get excited, but hey, fingers crossed…
Watch this space for more news.
OMG!!! They better publish this! I’m excited!!!!
Wow that’s cool!!!!
Any word on when if the books comes out. Shame it’s not a series 6. But it’s great non the less.
OMG, MOST EXCITING NEWS IN MY LIFE FOR YEARS!
Very odd title though “The Blood of Judus” Whats that about? I really hope its the Mall Rat characters and not just other random people in “tribeworld”.
David Fox (In my opinion) was the best Tribe writer, I always noticed he tended to write the “big episodes” so I’m certainly pleased he’s on board.
*Is tempted to make a facebook/petition already* I Neeeeeeed this book!.
Well, this could be as much as a flop as the last books were, badly written, contradicting everything about the characters, gibing them questionable storylines….
but then again it’s from people who know the story – it could be good, if it was their originally planned storyline for the core characters of season 1, maybe with a bit more of a focus on Zoot&Co, making it with new characters would be – weird, fanfictionlike, whoever wrote it. It’s got the potential.
OMG I am really excited. Can´t wait until they publish it ( well they better do!)
And yeah with writers from the series this definitly will be better than the book published before.
okay thosenews definitly made my day!!!!!!!!!!
Definitely great news! Did he give info on the plot line like what characters and if it’s a direct tie-in to the series?
Maybe it has to do with the virus development/Danni’s family?
I hope it get’s published!!!
The last books were written by randomers, this is being written by the guy who half created the tribe, so knows tribeworld, and how it should be, and the best series writer, who (in my opinion) brought the best out of the characters… so Im definatly still in excited mode.
Wow, it’s still good news that something is happening. Go people!!!
Wow it would be great if this really happens :)
OMG! Cool, i hope this happens! :-D
omg i love the tribe its jst the best …wts wiv the name tho?

OMG yeeeeees there is hope!! Its not series 6 but i hope they carry on from there and include all of the characters….if the book is successful then i wonder if it may lead to another tv series?? omg pleaseeeee?????? :-)
