Mark Millar to Make Directorial Debut

Source: Mark Millar Website

Mark Millar, who created the comics-turned-films Wanted and Kick-Ass, has announced that he is lining up a superhero movie that will mark his directorial debut. He posted the following on his official forums:

Bet you didn't see THAT coming, laddies and lassies!

But this is one of several big surprises planned for next year and you'll hear a bit more about this in February when we start to release details. What is it? Who is it about? Well, that's all a secret for now, but I learned a lot from Kick-Ass and love having the same creative freedom I have with comics when I work in cinema.

...

Similarly, I don't like the idea of asking for funding and justifying scenes with the money-men so I'm doing what Matthew Vaughn did with Kick-Ass and just making it outside the system with private investors. The financing is all secured and the movie stands or falls on how good I can make it, doing what Matthew did and just selling it once completed.

Comment by Palmer on November 2, 2009 at 10:50pm: You have to respect the guy; he genuinely wants to make a good film, and obviously isn't in it for the money. However, my only concern is whether or not he can really accomplish whatever it is he's setting out to do here.

Comment by Dr. Detfink on November 2, 2009 at 9:28pm: I understand what you're saying Mr. Keitel but the fact remains the reason why the alleged brotherhood didn't attempt to kill Millar is this reason: the movie stunk. Badly.

If all the rumors are true that using the wax bath is going to resurrect Angelina Jolie, I don't think he has anything to worry about.

Comment by n8 on November 2, 2009 at 2:36pm: I'm reserving all judgement til we get to see the compelted project. You never know, he might be good.

Mark Millar and Frank Miller are two totally different creators. (I believe Mark has some interesting stories still in him, and Frank's been recycling his own shit for the last 15 years.)

Comment by NareshDS on November 2, 2009 at 1:06pm: Oh yeah it worked well for Frank Miller...NOT!

Comment by NareshDS on November 2, 2009 at 1:05pm: I hate Mark Millar, he always goes way too far over the top (see ultimate Marvel), almost the exact direction as Chris Nola who grounds everything in reality. If Millar makes movies they'll make Michael Bay look like little miss sunshine!
