What Comics Would You Like To Be Turned Into Movies...

[Dragonboym2]

"[COLOR=Blue]Constantine" looks good, but I hope that they try to keep the comic in mind. Making John American and all is about as far as I hope they go. John also smokes to much, and has a very foul mouth. I hope they remember that. But I'm looking forward to "Batman Begins". The last film was a let down. And I"m a big Batman fan. Love the stuff, have for years. I collect his books, and I love the characters, and I'm looking forward to see what happens when Nightwing tells Batman how Blockbuster died. (Good luck, Dick!) I"m also looking forward to seeing "The Fantasic Four" . I'm not really a fan of theirs, but they done so much for comics, and it's good stuff. Hey, what about "Frank Miller's Sin City"? That's becoming a movie too. I've already seen the trailer. It's got a great cast, and a good bunch of writers. And get this: Terinteno is co-directing. :wigout: It's going to be really good, with such a bunch working on it.
But if you ask me, I'd like to see a "World's Finest" movie, and Frank Miller's "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" as a movie. It's one of the best comics I've ever read. It's very dark, grim, and gritty. For those of you who don't know, it was done back in the mid ninteen eighties. In it, Bruce Wayne has retired as being Batman, but he retakes the mantle when Gotham starts to go to Hell. A gang of young toughs called The Mutants have Gotham undersige, and crime is at an high. Batman is going to stop them, if the world likes it or not. It also has a unquie spin on Batman's relationship with Superman. Miller said that they both have very oppiste views on crime fighting , and the world, so in the real world, they would never be freinds. If you never read it, read it. You'll enjoy it. There's a sequel, "The Dark Knight Strikes Again," but read that second. [/COLOR]

[quote name='Omar Harris']I would mention some independent stuff like Walking Dead, but that one's been done to death (no pun intended), by George Romero (who has a 4th Living Dead film coming out that sounds awesome) and why mess with the formula. I would like to see Zero Girl or the Maxx (though both are very, possibly even too, surreal), or Brian Micheal Bendis "Powers".[/quote]

Walking Dead could succeed because any good zombie film isn't about the zombies, it's about how the people affected by them react. Good zombie films are more of critiques of human existance, instinct and values than anything else, which is why I think Romero's films are the best in the genre. People react differently to things thanks to so many factors that there's really an endless supply of things to do.

Walking Dead takes a page from that, but because of the medium, there is far more time to investigate character development and insert new twists (last issue has [spoiler]people turning to zombies without even getting bit apparently[/spoiler]). I think, unlike some terrible zombie related comics like Romero's own Toetags, Walking Dead could be a very successful film (who knows in terms of money, I just mean in craftsmanship). However, I think it would be better used as a TV show, personally.

With Land of the Dead coming out from Romero (as you mentioned), I see no reason to push this as a movie either lol... but I do think it would work far better than most releases into the genre as of late.

no one seems to have mentioned James Camerons forthcoming battle angel alita film. That should be interesting,a manga made into a live action film by a western director.

I honestly don't think the manga or the anime of GUNNM/Alita is really even that special. I'm not particularly looking forward to the film because of what it's based on, but Cameron generally makes some damn good sci-fi/action type films. Might turn out.

I wouldn't mind seeing a real Punisher movie. One that focuses more on the purging of evil with bullets than how frank lost his family.
