Alan Moore despre Watchmen si univers

un articol fascinant in LA Times, intitulat Hero Complex, in care Moore se plinge de studiouri, de filme si de conditia artistului. Si de faptul ca astazi comicsurile sunt simple storyboarduri la filme. Un documentar va apraea pe dvd, intitulat Into the Mindscape of Alan Moore, sure would like to see that soon....


"There are three or four companies now that exist for the sole purpose of creating not comics, but storyboards for films. It may be true that the only reason the comic book industry now exists is for this purpose, to create characters for movies, board games and other types of merchandise. Comics are just a sort of pumpkin patch growing franchises that might be profitable for the ailing movie industry."

sunt sigur ca Zack Snyder nu se prea bucura dar Watchmen e un proiect blestemat, pentru ca dificil mi se pare un termen low, de cind l-au antamat pe Terry Gilliam la inceputul anilor 90 si a vrut sa-l faca serie TV. Interesnt si ce spune de Eisner si Citizen Kane, mai ales acum cind Spirit iese, bricolat de Frank Miller.
