Raymond Thompson, creator of The Tribe, spoke to Variety magazine about his movie Tribes which is based on the TV series.
Raymond Thompson, who is penning the movie, said the following:
“I always wanted to do a movie version and work with a bigger canvas… With the right director, it would be exciting to explore the themes of kids building a new society.
“It speaks to young people, what’s inherent in all of us is this idea about young people changing the world.”
Names already lined up for the movie are Alan Gasmer (William Morris agent) and entertainment lawyer Eric Feig who will co-produce the film with Cloud 9 Screen Entertainment. Peter Jackson’s Weta Workshop have already agreed to do the movies design and special effects.
You can read the full article, by Marc Graser, online here (also pasted below).
According to the article the movie will be predominantly aimed at the American market. The news about the movie has spread to New Zealand with articles, covering the same story, appearing in The Dominion Post (Story: ‘The Tribe migrates to big screen’) and 3 News (Story: ‘The Tribe heading to the big screen’). A draft press release for The Tribe movie was already shared by Cloud 9 to The Tribe fans via Facebook (click here) on 8th February 2011. With thanks to Nick W for The Dominion Post article.

On the page Cloud 9 have posted a message that features news of up-coming Tribe related projects in the works, the full message is pasted below in case you can’t access Facebook.
I’ve found the most exciting news is that: “New novels being published in 2011 – including the eagerly anticipated story of what actually happened to all the Tribes and characters in the aftermath of their boat journey leaving the beloved mall (the subject of episode 52 in season 5)”.
To extend on that Cloud 9 also mention; “In addition there is a motion picture currently in development [I think this is the Blood Of The Judas screenplay] as well as discussions about a Tribe fashion line as well as the possibility of releasing new songs and music along with a range of other interesting and exciting material including never before seen behind the scenes footage and photographs”.
