Right, in reply to the original question from the other thread.

The idea would be to take the story's of the novels, and in a similar way that HBO is adapting the Game of Thrones series one book to a season, or they did the Harry Potter/Twilight/ect series to a movie each, translate them to another medium.

Rather than a full vfx laden acted out production, that would be cool but WOW well out of the realms of feasibility, I hope to translate them into a "comic book/graphic novel" format, but most likely distributed in a webcomic format.

I am thinking now, without the books in front of me, that it would be doable, and I'm thinking the heavy setting/backstory exposition might be done in the form of a "hitchhikers guide style cutaway" reminiscent of Terry Pratchett's use of footnotes in a graphical way, rather than trying to force the information that flowed relatively well in a narrative novel into one of the characters mouths as needless exposition.

sigh, just realized i replied for some reason in the wrong thread. yeah i doing good today...

yeah this was meant to be in the thread with my comic character design, which would have made the medium make much more sense.

Oh, I'm realistically a ways away from the actual production stage.
It helps me to have a long term goal in mind though when I'm working on something. It gives me a reason to be on and off again tinker with the designs.
I tend to be a bit ... scattered in my time with the odd project, so this may never get much beyond this stage, but its relaxing to work on something not work related when I'm at home.

Teague, let me know if you need me to bring my camera back over, it "should" still have my footage on it. Haven't really used it in a while so can't quite recall if I wiped it off or not .... don't think so though.

Looking like this will be a fun thing to contribute to.
Off the top of my head, made a quick adjustment and updated my first appearance, from Planet Terror to Sucker Punch.
When I get some free time, I'll see what else I can contribute.

I thought, why not, so snagged a ticket to the 3d 48, at my local theatre, which is a nice big one. Whether I get the opportunity to use the ticket due to work is another issue, but we'll see.

with only 2nd hand info, I think you have that one backwards.
Aronofsky was offered Wolverine because of Black Swan, not the other way round. My understanding was that with the success of Black Swan financially, whether unexpected or not, he had the juice with Fox to be offered Wolverine, an arguably big property.
When he then had "wishy washy issues with being away from his family to film in Japan" (quoted due to not being 100% sure of validity, he was able to take his french comic treatment and say essentially "well you wanted me on a big project, I'm now passing on your thing, what about my thing?"

So good discussion, but the one thing that didn't really get brought up, and I can see why, it would have really delved deep into the "inside baseball & speculation" side of things. Was the acquisition of ILM by Disney, and what that may mean both as artists & for the industry as a whole.

Granted pure VFX has never been a true focus, but it has always been a side point, and with that many folks on one roundtable, was a bit shocked it didn't even get a mention.

Otherwise, great discussion.
