Garth Ennis

[The Overlord]

Has Garth Ennis expressed any views on the up coming movie?

 

[citizenpain]

nope, don't believe so. he didn't have any sort of involvement in this film or the 04 version and i don't remember him saying anything back in 04 either. total shame, they should have let him get involved at least as a script supervisor or something along those lines.

Well, Ennis was "pretty heavily involved" with Mark Steven Johnson's planned HBO show... Even bagging himself an executive producer credit if it'd gone ahead... Stands to reason he'll be involved with Mendes' movie as well.... Especially if Mendes is the fan he says he is...
Here's the man himself to explain things.

Wasn't that series cancelled though?

I think Garth would have the same thing to say as Alan Moore. I think secretly he's really pissed. I don't get it, Lexi has pretty much the same experience as writing for film as Garth does, why in the Flargin and Dingle

Spoiler

Flargin and what?

....couldnt they have approached him to write the script? It's not that frikin hard to write a stupid screenplay!! Just hire an expert and a critique comittee to make sure he is doing the right job!!!!!


~lettin these morons ruin my favorite character....

Writing a screenplay isn't as easy as everyone seems to think it is.

If Mark Steven Johnson could write a screenplay and actually get the film made, then it's very easy.

 

[Balthus Dire]

Uh huh.

 

[Bubonic]

It has it's own nuances, but at least having him step in and say... "Well wow, this is crap, you guys are trying to capture my MAX Punisher right? Well this is how you do it, not this way, my Frank would never do that"

It would make such a difference I think.

I agree with what you just said.
