You are right there. I been speaking to him and Amanda at Asylum, they are really good people and we have some fun emails! I really do wish them the best for their movie...

David Latt is a top bloke. You got to love a director who will visit fan sites and shoot the breeze with the fans.
I'm looking forward to seeing his film.

Same here. I'm a die hard fan of the book read it more than any other and I really want to see a film of it in period. But you know we are going to get that from Jeff Wayne. Okay it's CGI but that'll do me. So I'm looking forward to these other versions. Speilberg wouldn't have made the period version work as he has no passion for it and he would no doubt made mistakes with the Englishness of it. Alan Moore has just given the Movie of V for Vendetta a scathing review. V for Vendetta is a great very british graphic Novel. Here his remarks below -

Alan On The "V For Vendetta" Movie
Alan gave some details about bits of the V For Vendetta shooting script he'd seen. "It was imbecilic; it had plot holes you couldn't have got away with in Whizzer And Chips in the nineteen sixties. Plot holes no one had noticed."

What Moore found most laughable however were the details. "They don't know what British people have for breakfast, they couldn't be bothered. 'Eggy in a basket' apparently. Now the US have 'eggs in a basket,' whish is fried bread with a fried egg in a hole in the middle. I guess they thought we must eat that as well, and thought 'eggy in a basket' was a quaint and Olde Worlde version. And they decided that the British postal service is called Fedco. They'll have thought something like, 'well, what's a British version of FedEx... how about FedCo? A friend of mine had to point out to them that the Fed, in FedEx comes from 'Federal Express.' America is a federal republic, Britain is not."

David Lloyd was reported to have commented on the script at the recent Bristol comics convention. Superherohype posted a fan report talking to Lloyd, saying "he thinks it was very good for an Action Thriller, but is very much different from the Graphic Novel. He said that the character of Evey is less of a victim in this film and that he had met with The Wachoski Brothers."

So you need someone British to pull of a very British story. And we know Jeff will do it. \:D/

Asylum looks good for what it is. =D>

Pendragon don't. :a019:


Bah bah black sheap April diamond spheres, Rigsby, Rigsby, Eight sided Pears.
