    Some Vertigo movie news!

    Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely have teamed up before Batman and Robin #1 for a Vertigo title, WE3. You may have heard of it. The comic's plot is centered around three animals that are weaponized as part of a secret military program; a dog (Bandit), a cat (Tinker) and a rabbit (Pirate). The comic focuses on their escape and as well as their adventures. According to SciFiWire, film producer Don Stevenson is planning on bringing the three fluffy cyborgs to the big screen. The film's producer  ensures us that the film will be done in live action.

    It's going to be a combination CG, puppetry [and] real animals. We have a great script, a great director, and we're trying to figure out who's going to pay for it in this marketplace, but we're looking."

    What do you guys think? Have you read the comic? Do you think a live action version of this film would be better than an animated one?

     All I can think is some Hollywood exec got the pitch and heard "cute fluffy animals and comic books" and thought cha-ching!   Just no.  Don't do it.

      You know how many comics get optioned every year? So many. How many of those that are optioned get made into films? Probably less than 1%.

      Vertigo IS owned by DC, but they are run as two separate companies. Just like Warner Brothers owns DC, but really doesn't have too much say in what DC does.

      For the people that seem to hate the idea of having a movie based on it

      We3 is an awesome comic and is the first reason why Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely are considered the dynamic duo of creative teams. Before Batman and Robin, before All Stars Superman and before New X-men, they did this and it's one of the best things I've read from Morrison, which me being a big fan means a lot.

      That being said, unless someone in a studio reads the original graphic novel, this won't make it into a film

      One more thing

      I want this to be Live action with what he said it would be done as. CGI and Puppetry because animated it wouldnt hold what I want to see it in a movie format for me. Animated it would look cartoony and in the comic it is far from cartoony.

      Seriously some of the scenes in the comic....AWESOME

      One of my favorite things about We3 was the art, the actual pencilling as well as the layouts (like the one above). Looks cool on a page, not sure how it would work on screen.

       I would love to hear more news on this, crazy mix of cuddly pets, government conspiracies, sick dark humor and ultra violence
       
      Maybe if Peter Jackson was still making those sick gorefest movies
       
      I'm not sure this will mix with Hollywood, not sure if any good Director would take it up today, the last thing we would need to see is some half assed RobZombie effort
