The scope of the story is so great that I don't know how one could tell it all in less than a trilogy - I've read Sam Hamm's unfilmed script from the late 1980s and he stripped out much of the backstories of the characters. I'll be curious to see how a 2009 audience reacts - the original story has much intrigue and social commentary, and most superhero films today play up the action and the CGI. |
Interesting. I guess I should try and find a bargain reprint and start reading. Let's hope they do it justice.
