A good version of Garth Ennis' Preacher would be welcome, too. Who would play Arseface, though?

Status: offline 		I'm still unsure of the Watchmen movie, from the trailers. Okay, the character design looks great, but the feel of it seems off. The trailers have that music-video/summer action blockbuster look to the editing which just doesn't suit the material. Then again, perhaps that's just standard trailer making and the film itself will be good. I hope so, anyway.

Now if someone will just make films for Global Frequency, Transmetropolitan and DMZ, then I'll be happy.

Last I saw (and just re-googled to make sure I wasn't confused), HBO picked up rights and had started production on it as a series of 1 hour episodes (1 ep per issue). Sadly, looks like no news since the end of '06 on state of the production. IMDB shows a preacher tv series, but details are pro account only, promising date though.

As for the gaiman/sandman thread, I was saddened when things went kaput on the gilliam directed Good Omens awhile back.

As for GF, there was a pilot for tv done, the most unaired pilot ever i believe. Absolutely amazing (or so I hear, since I'd never condone downloading or watching any content not released or commercially available).

As for transmet, at wizard world Mr. Ellis had a side splitting anecdote about it being considered at one point, with patrick stewart involved. Something having to do with killing rabbits and not punching prince charles in the face.

Oh, definitely Transmet.  And I want to see Fables on the big screen!

Some of the casting choices do not inspire confidence at all ...

Since Heath publicly stated that the character was so disturbing to him that it caused him to be unable to sleep, the movie did contribute to his death.  To date, that is the only connection to his real life that has been found.  Perhaps had he been a little darker in real life, he would not have needed the sleeping pills that killed him.
