Comic-Con '07: Warner Bros. Preview
Source: Ryan Rotten
July 27, 2007




Whiteout with Joel Silver, director Dominic Sena and creator Greg Rucka...

- Film is due sometime in '08.

- Rucka on the adaptation, "I'm stunned, they've taken the best we've created and have turned it into a movie. There are things we would've loved to have done on the comic book page, that we couldn't do." One scene stunned him on set, one he thought couldn't be done.

- It was a serious set when Kate was around who had a sardonic dry sense of humor that's too x-rated to be re-iterated to the Comic-Con attendees.

- Sena: Kate was Joel's choice from the get-go, Joel: Carrie had to have an action vibe and credibility. Kate's tough and really get its, she looks pretty good, his least favorite thing was she had to wear a parka the whole time.

- Film just finished a few weeks ago.

- Sharpe is not in the film, replaced by a character named Price, you get a different dynamic with the male-female thing. Rucka thinks the effect is different

- Sena says it's an exciting experience, especially the world its set in. A unique murder-mystery set in an inhospitable environment lent something fresh. Every time you walk out your life is in your hands because of the elements.

- Rucka says the film is set in a bright world. Ice, sunlight all set an unconventional tone for the genre.

- Sena: Film was shot in a combo of real and fake snow up in Montreal.

- Sena had nothing but great things to say about the ensemble cast. Nothing had to be amputated from working in the cold.

- The cast and crew had to deal with a biting wind chill up in Canada and wore layers of thermals and parkas. There'd be at least one tow truck call a day because there'd be a stuck car, a car that wouldn't start or one that hit a snow bank.

Beckinsale has joined the panel...

 

[Hunter Rider]

- Beckinsale, on the difference between this film and Underworld: "I slept with the director far fewer times. But yes, it is different, I was allowed to use my own teeth this time." Feels Greg Rucka created a character that was real and human. She feels it's hard to play an immortal (like her role in Underworld). "I got banged up and bruised on 'Whiteout'...and I liked it."

- Beckinsale says her time on this was relatively green screen-free. Pretty much everything she shot was practical.

- The trailer shown promised a faithfulness to the Greg Rucka graphic novel. Following a gruff voiceover that establishes the harsh climate of Antarctica, we're introduced to U.S. Marshall Carrie Stetko (Beckinsale) - looking gorgeous, natch. She discovers, on the ice, a mutilated body with severe head trauma, crystalized skin, a nasty gash to the ass. There's a brief line about it being the first murder in Antarctica then a flurry of images that show Stetko hurrying through a "whiteout," someone with a nasty case of frostbite (you know who it is if you've read the comic) and a glimpse of a possible killer.

Just listened to them, good listen was funny in places as well.

[Bastila]

You beat me to it

That one is brighter and has a date on it, its still cool though, I do like the poster, doesn't the graphic novel have a sequel?

 

[Steve Lieber]

There is a sequel Whiteout:Melt. Oni has a new edition that'll be on the shelves in a month or so.

It'll have a new cover. I don't have an image of the final design, but here's the illustration:

The first book has a new cover, too. (Not the best timing, I realize, what with the teaser poster mimicking the original Miller cover, but that's life.)

And Greg and I will be doing a third and final book in the series later this year.

 

[Darth Elektra]

What is the story of the sequel? And does the story still revolve around the main character of the first book? (the character played by Kate Beckinsale in the film)

 

[Steve Lieber]

All three books are about Carrie Stetko- Kate's character.

Whiteout:Melt is about Stetko tracking down an ex-Soviet special forces team. They're crossing the ice with a stolen nuke. You can read the first 11 pages here:
