Peace Sat, 27 Sep 2008 12:37:21 +0000 http://blog.newsarama.com/?p=9546#comment-450634 "It’s kinda funny that Millar is able to get all of his creator owned stuff churned out as flicks while DC A-List properties , that don’t feature “bat” in their names, are stuck in development hell." - DB Actually, it makes perfect sense. Everything Millar writes is amoral, sensationalistic uber-violence, which is exactly what Hollywood wants in action movies. If you've been following along, you'll know that Millar has been writing summer blockbuster-style scripts all along, it's just that they've been turned into comics stories up until now. The reason those DC properties are stuck in development hell is because they require <i>development</i>, which is to say you have to finagle the characters and mythologies around so that they fit in with the rest of the summer action movie flicks. Millar comics, on the other hand, are hand-built for the big screen from day one (I always feel like I'm reading a pitch for a movie in comic book form any time I read his books, no matter which title it is). "I like reading these Millar movie announcements, because they fill us on on what the story is going to be about, saving us the time of reading the issues." - Thatcher E Cleveland I second that. Plus, it's not like this is Shakespeare. Read a short description and a review or two and you can fully understand any given Millar comic. It's not as if his stories involve <i>nuance</i>. “It’s kinda funny that Millar is able to get all of his creator owned stuff churned out as flicks while DC A-List properties , that don’t feature “bat” in their names, are stuck in development hell.”
