About a few years ago, the movie industry began to understand that comic book adaptations were king. Soon after, we had a comic revival that created comic to film adaptations such as X-Men, X-Men United, Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, DareDevil, Elektra, Hulk, Hellboy, Blade, Blade II, and Blade Trinity. Now, we continue down that stretch with Spider-Man 3, X-Men 3, Superman, and Fantastic Four films all in the works. But does it end here, or are we taking this new obsession one step further-- graphic novels.

Graphic Novels to Film- A Step Passed Comics


First off, graphic novels are very similar to comics. However, the novels usually contain a deeper story [considering the amount of pages] with darker plots. The best example of this is the graphic novel adaptations that are already in production. Currently, we have Sin City, Constantine [Hellblazer], and V for Vendetta all making their way to hit the big screens [Constantine is just about a week away]. But, like comics, it seems that graphic novel adaptations will not stop with these stories.


Even though the film is not expected until 2006, Paramount is already making headway to get the Watchmen up and promoted. Watchmen was created by Alan Moore, the same man behind V for Vendetta. Even though there is absolutely no crew whatsoever for the film, Paramount still found it necessary to get the Watchmen site up and going.
