Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 looks incredibly promising yah you can say what you want about trailers but I believe they show enough dynamics in the movie to prove it will be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azatoth Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 i watched the behind the scenes clips on youtube and i got more excited to see this movie. they are putting an insane amount of detail into this movie, and it looks like they are shooting it panel by panel.

awepittance Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 and it looks like they are shooting it panel by panel. yes this is very true, which makes it even more painful for me the they decided to change the ending why pillage/recreate the visuals so 100% perfectly and then egotistically think you can make a better ending than Alan moore did? it seems very counter intuitive to me.

Solo Strike Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I'm really, really excited about this film. Part of me is still hoping for the squid, even though it's not likely. On a related note, I met Alan Moore and his wife the other week. Absolute gentleman and legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me is still hoping for the squid, even though it's not likely. On a related note, I met Alan Moore and his wife the other week. Absolute gentleman and legend haha did you talk to alan moore about his unhappiness of watchmen being butchered? don't get me wrong, im going to enjoy this movie but im only going to be able to with while attending movie with shield. the shield will be me knowing that the ending will be significantly changed, im not having high hopes for the ending at all. if Watchmen had a pretty standard ending in the comic book i probably wouldn't care, but imo it has on of the interesting emotional climaxes of any story i've read. I don't trust the guy who made 300 to come up with a better ending than what was originally written. I wish someone had the balls to do watchmen proper! unfortunately with how much money is being spent on this the closest thing to that we'll probably ever get is watchmen motion comics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Strike Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Nah I didn't dare in case he was annoyed with the whole topic! I had a little chat with him about From Hell as that's my favourite, and the projects he is working on at the moment. If I had of asked though, I don't think he would of minded answering. He's a very gracious man, extremely pleasant and down to earth. He told me he's writing a compendium about magic with a pop-up temple in the middle, haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was for meeting Mr James... but since then I have become more of a fan of Moore's writing and From Hell is indeed his best work.... His new work is what I have wanted my whole life but never knew it... LUCKY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Strike Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 One of the few good points in living in such a shithole mate. Alan is very vocal about his love for Northampton, and spends a lot of time around the town center (I saw him out and about shopping literally yesterday). Even before I had read any of his books, I'd seen him out and about for years, yet noone hassles him (which I've heard is why he stays here). My friend works in the main shopping center in town and spots him at least every week. It's a very surreal experience getting your bits in Sainsburys and seeing him at the checkout and thinking "fuck, that dude wrote so many of my favourite books".

Did you know that the novel called "Jerusalem" that he has been writing for a few years now (which will supposedly be 600 pages or something) is set in and about Northampton? Voice of the fire was all set in Northampton as well but I think this will be set in more recent times and contain more of his "psychogeograhical" approach to the history of the place. I'd imagine a book like that would have so much more resonance to someone who lives there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Strike Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Yep, I'm really looking forwards to it. I keep meaning to pick up Voice Of The Fire, but I've got a massive pile of books I'm plowing through at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
