Drag showed the Artemis Fowl movie trailer to drag's dragon right before it started reading Artemis Fowl. So far:

Artemis is clearly an evil white collar criminal
Artemis is the bad guy in the story
Artemis is NOT a surfer.

Because Artemis Fowl isn't anything like the popular children's media. The protagonist is the bad guy? He's a child who kidnapped a fairy to ransom her for gold? It's awesome, and Disney will never approve a movie with that plot, even though they wanted to use the IP.
