The Washington Post’s Express talks with Fables writer Bill Willingham about the recently released 10th-volume collection of the Vertigo series, and the odds of his creation ever making the jump to the big screen:
… Willingham seems to find the prospect a relative impossibility, but not for the finicky reasons you’d expect. After a series of near misses involving a revolving door of studio executives, Willingham seems genuinely baffled regarding the processes and procedures necessary to get a project green-lit.
“My brushes with Hollywood have all been so completely surreal,” he said. “I have no idea how anything, even the smallest possible thing, can get made in that town. There has been a growing realization that anything makes it to become a TV show or a movie is some sort of bizarre miracle. Boy, do those people love taking meetings!”
