ALAN MOORE FINALLY GETS HIS SAY IN THE MOVIES WITH MIRACLEMAN

 

British comic book writer (and eccentric) Alan Moore has long been outspoken about the way that his comics have been adapted to film, such as From Hell, V for Vendetta, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Watchmen. Moore will finally get his chance to see one of his earliest works brought to the movies the way he wants. Alan Moore is reportedly considering making the move to being a film director and screenwriter with Miracleman, an adaptation of the early 1980s dark comic book series about a family of superheroes similar to Captain Marvel. The move mirrors the transition that his 1980s "grim and gritty" contemporary Frank Miller made by codirecting Sin City and directing The Spirit. The Miracleman comics are historically significant for the level of graphic violence, gore and social commentary that Moore brought to the superhero genre. Miracleman will be an independent British production, and there is no word yet on who Moore hopes to cast as the key characters of Miracleman and his arch-nemesis Dr. Gargunza.

Oh gee. Okay. I retract what I wrote. Just kidding.

My first thought was, there is no way anyone is crazy enough to sink millions of $ into a movie directed by Moore, but then I saw "independent British production" and reconsidered

So you watched the documentary about him too? I enjoy his comics, but he is one crazy individual.

I would watch a Miracleman movie by Alan Moore. It would be horrible, but I would still watch it.

 

(I watched Mike Allred's G-Men From Hell....)
