The first film adaptation of the popular U.K. book series is just being released in Britain and Ireland, but the film's director already has thoughts of launching the movie in the U.S. "Some films are hard for an American audience to get to grips with because we suffer from a common language, but this one, I think it will work," director Nick Moore said in an interview this week. "I think, watching it, it isn't so English that it would be difficult for it to translate."
"Horrid Henry: The Movie," in theaters Friday, is adapted from the works of, whose phenomenally successful series of Horrid Henry books has made him the most popular literary character in Britain after boy wizard
Henry is the sort of boy who constantly annoys almost everyone around him, particularly his exasperated parents, then wonders why people are always on his case.
