Gonna have to read it first.

I never read or watched From Hell. How was the transition to film for that? Because I know his The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen didn't turn into such a hot movie.

I doubt that really matters. This movie is being handled by an entirely different team, so I wouldn't pre-judge it based on previous movies inspired by his books...

I'm actually a big fan of Alan Moore. A lot of movies have been based from his works like From Hell, LOEG, Road to Perdition, etc. The one that I am most looking forward to is The Watchmen, a graphic novel that is considered by many to be one of the the form's greatest works. I just hope it doesn't get screwed up.

Don't look now, but the movie is done by the Wachowski Brothers. Hopefully, they will use Alan Moore's original dialogue instead of writing some of their own.

But on the other hand, the movie has Hugo Weaving as V. So it can't be all bad.

P.S. I didn't like Watchmen. It was a mostly good book, but I think it fell a bit short of being the be all end all of superhero comic books as Alan Moore once said he intended it to be.

Just finished reading V for Vendetta. Great book. I do hope the movie is as good.
