I wonder if 2000AD will be mined for further movies? I understood that there was a Rogue Trooper film in the pipeline at one point, but not sure what happened with that. I've always thought Halo Jones could make a great movie, but given Alan Moore's ambivelant relationship with Hollywood, that seems unlikely; probably for the best - it could easily turn out to be another Tank Girl.'"
Rogue Trooper was probably my favourite 2000AD character. I would imagine making the various unseen characters work would be a cinematic nightmare, but would love to see a film.
Another one I'd like to see but would be very difficult to do justice to, would be Charley's War. My favourite comic strip of them all. Tragic, haunting, relentless and astoundingly violent - doubt it would be deemed suitable for kids these days.
Quote: bren2k "You don't put your best storylines in the first film, well you don't when it's as epic as Judge Death. That'd be like putting The Joker in as your first villain in a Batman film and I don't think that works. If you're doing a franchise I like the idea of the first film setting the scene rather than putting all your cards on the table with the best characters because that kills any other follow-up films doesn't it? i.e. they'd be an anti-climax after Judge Death.'"
A little presumptuous to assume they'll be successful enough suddenly create a franchise, ain't it? I didn't say Judge Death should have been included, but they could've come up with something a little more adventurous than that. It just came across as a lack of imagination. Shaping and limiting your plot based on there being sequels just leaves me feeling cheated.
