This coming Sunday, March 4, the gamer channel G4 will be airing the fourth episode in its Icons series, this time featuring a look at Frank Miller. The episode "focuses on Miller’s work over the years as a creator of popular comic books, characters and graphic novels, many of which have and are being adapted for feature films." Miller will also discuss his next movie, an adaptation of Will Eisner’s The Spirit. Set those DVRs for 11 PM Eastern time!
Neal Adams tells Mike Raub about teaming up with Frank Miller on a Batman mini-series, we uncover the roots of the Suicide Squad, our Timeline stops on 1968, Walter Cronkite talks parallel history, and new releases are exposed!
You can here all the thrills by pressing the play button, right here:
IESB reports that the movie adaptation of Frank Miller’s graphic novel 300 received a standing ovation at its world premiere last night at the Berlin Film Festival. "The screening was interrupted again and again by spontaneous applause and cheers from the 1700 strong audience," adds the movie site. This would seem to jibe with earlier mostly positive reviews by folks who have seen sneak previews, including Len Wein and Marv Wolfman, and fly in the face of the chorus of boos reported at the earlier press screening.
IESB reports that Gianni Nunnari will produce and Sylvain White will direct the next big-screen adaptation of a Frank Miller comic, Ronin. Nunnari, who owns the movie rights to the work and has a first look deal with Warner Bros., revealed this news at the press day for 300. (Via SuperHeroHype, Wilson Morales at blackfilm.com interviews White about his plans for the movie.)
This would seem to put pay to long-ago news of Darren Aronofsky co-writing and directing the film — except that, as Warren Ellis mentions, news that Nunnari would also be bringing Ellis’s and Chris Sprouse’s graphic novel Ocean to film is absolutely untrue. Says Ellis, "I imagine Mr. Nunnari was misheard, or misspoke and will correct himself shortly. No film company has ever attempted to purchase the media rights to Ocean, which are owned by Chris and myself."
