Mr Horowitz, 50, said yesterday that he is delighted that Alex Rider is being made into a film and expects enormous competition to win the title role. Speaking from his North London home, he said: “The actor won’t necessarily be British. I’ve taken the view it’s important to get a very good actor and to worry about accents and nationality afterwards. But ideally, it will be a British boy.
“Most boys in the country would give their right arm to play Alex Rider. The idea of being a teenage spy and having gadgets and beating up bad guys must have great appeal.
