Re: V for Vendetta
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.

Re: V for Vendetta
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.

Re: V for Vendetta
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.

Re: V for Vendetta
Watchmen would translate into a much better movie than V, imo

Re: V for Vendetta
Watchmen directed by Paul Greengrass? Not my first choice...

Re: V for Vendetta
Watchmen has been canned. Ain't going to happen in the near future, apparently.

Re: V for Vendetta
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.
