That trailer looks fantastic.

A few years ago I wrote a huge urban werewolf movie and in my mind's eye, the settings looked a lot like that. Who knows, someday in the futue when I'm into HDV, I may just dust off that script.

Good luck with your project. You can have a lot of fun with that.

Stonefield, have you ever seen the Sin City comics? They look fantastic. I was blown away when I saw the trailer and that they captured a film version of the comics. I think that one is going to be good.

My friend is lending me his Sin City graphic novels....as soon as I'm done his Daredevil graphic novels...heh.

Man, if they are turning classic graphic novels into good movies...I can only imagine what Dark Knight Returns and Electra Assassin would be like.

I can't say I'm up my comics, but wasn't Dark Knight what revived interest in Batman and thus provided the reason to make the Batman movies? I mean, I'm pretty sure the Dark Knight returned as Michael Keaton.

You're going to love Sin City.

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns was written in 1986 ( ? ) by Frank Miller who also wrote/created Electra, Daredevil ( contributed ) and Sin City. He also wrote the screenplay for Robocop 2.

Dark Knight was set in Gotham's near future where we find Bruce Wayne ten years retired from Batman. His personal demons not fully exercised, and with the memory of the second Robin's brutal murder by the Joker, he comes back to settle long standing scores with Two Face, the Joker and yes, Superman.

It indeed did bring the medium of the mature graphic novel to the forefont of public awareness and led the way for future generations of comics such as Electra, The Crow, and Sin City.

You may think this tread about graphic novels may seem out of place here, but the way Frank Miller penned and composed his scenes were very cinema like. I found lot's of inspiration from those sources. You may want to check them out.
