I had heard about the movie a while ago, but didn't get to see it until March this year.
I really, really liked it! Nice story, and believable performances by the actors.
And as soon as the pop-up book entered the screen, I was completely sold. It's just such a
clever story-telling device and an extremely awesome, well put together prop.
Right after watching the movie, I went online to find out if a nice replica was available..
But no - I discovered that there had been the before mentioned campaign for a limited
run of them and that the possibility of getting in on it was long gone. What a disappointment..
But I chose to subscribe to the email list on the website, so I'd at least get some news updates
on the project and maybe some cool shots of the finished (and expanded) prop, all the lucky
buyers would get.. I didn't expect what happened next, but I'm extremely happy right now!!
This monday, the Babadook Team sent out this update on the project:

Dear Friends of the Babadook (-Book)!

of the Babadook Pop-Up book. Our writer/director Jennifer Kent and illustrator

that will make this book a very special companion piece to the film.
The official campaign to get a book is over, but since we are finalising order
numbers with our publisher by Friday 10th April, we have decided to do a
last chance run to people who didn’t know about the campaign early enough
and who have registered interest via email or through becoming a subscriber
on our website.
This is an exclusive offer to our subscribers, so if you have missed out and
still want to get your hands on a book, please use this direct link below:

Such a great surprise!
I ordered two of them almost instantly, and I can't wait till I get to see the finished book,
and best of all, to get them in my hands.
This is the chance for anyone who missed out the first time around, so hurry up and get
your orders in before the 10th.
