Alan is too busy creating awesome comics to do that. I love his America's Best Comics line.. Tom Strong, Top 10 and all that. Wonderful imagination on that man.

Can't say i'm expecting much from the wachowskis - after parts duh and duher of the matrix.

The depth that is in V ( the comic) will be v. difficult to recreate in a movie, particularly one for a film audience used to trite comic book action (ala spiderman/superman). Not bagging those comics/movies - just that V for Vendetta's plot and characters are something entirely different.

I mean - it's not like you're going to see a movie version of Speigelman's Maus anytime soon are we??? And yet it is a wonderful story - very powerful and moving. But I'm pretty sure a movie where WW2 era story has Jews represented by rats and Germans by cats isn't going to go down very well.

Possibly you might be able to do V for Vendetta justice in a TV series or mini-series - on something like HBO, where you wouldn't have as much of an issue with the rating and would have more time to develop the plot and characters.

Im hoping that this will be a bit darker than superman or spiderman, more along the lines of the new batman.

and to film Maus would take at least a trilogy!

Oh god, I hope no one ever tries to make a film out of Maus. I love Maus, but it works better as a graphic novel than it would on film.

Watchmen would translate into a much better movie than V, imo

Might happen but doubtful..

Watchmen directed by Paul Greengrass? Not my first choice...

Watchmen has been canned. Ain't going to happen in the near future, apparently.

And poof, the thread gets resurrected after 7 months! I'm happy about the hype it's getting and the rottentomatoes meter, it's getting me more psyched then I normally would be. Lets see if it holds up, I'll be back tonight.
