Are The Fountain, A History of Violence and Stardust consider DC Films?

[Skaigear2]

I'm so confused of the status of those films.

 

[ToddIsDead]

Were those books published by DC? If not, then no.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

I think they were.

They were published by DC, but The Fountain is not based on any comic (the comic is based on the original screenplay), Stardust was originally published by another company (Vertigo only published an illustrated edition - I don't think there's even a comic).

And History may have been originally published by someone else also? It's creator owned anyway. Road to Perdition also fits in to this category.

So, no, I wouldn't say any of these are really DC/Vertigo movies, any more than any other adaptation of a book is a movie from that book's publisher, or any movie that has a comic adaptation is from that publisher.

Marvel did 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Wars and James Bond comics, for example, and they're not Marvel movies.

Stardust is a Neil Gaiman novel - not a graphic novel.

 

[JTStarkiller]

I'd say yes to History of Violence, no to the other two.

AHOV and RTP were originally published by Paradox Press which is a imprint of DC, just like Vertigo.

When a movie is considered DC, Marvel etc i think it mostly refers to when it contains some of the characters from that company.
