Fox Picks Up Millar's 'Nemesis'

It’s being reported that Tony Scott has been hired to direct, but there have been no announcements concerning screenwriters, actors, or even a date to start production. The bigger question is how faithful they plan to be with the source material? Will this be a Wanted style butchering in order to make it somewhat appealing to the masses, or will they just use minor tweaks like they did with Kick-Ass?

So what does Tony Scott mean to Nemesis? Violence? Check. Intense action scenes? Check. Camera’s rotating around the main character every fifteen seconds? Let’s hope not.

From what has happened so far in the two issues that have been released, you have to imagine some form of cleaning up will take place. It will be interesting to see what wins out, Millar’s current popularity or the studio’s desire to mass market. This is a book that glorifies police murder, which may not draw the same crowds that ‘teenage vigilante’ Kick-Ass did.

Honestly, it would be nice to just get issues of Nemesis released regularly. The Kick-Ass method of one issue every five months is getting old. If the story is completed enough that they can pitch it to Fox and have them buy it, then it should be no problem to have a monthly release.

		2010-08-10 07:50:42 mramazing Oh god Miller is a cock and VERY VERY overrated.

		2010-08-10 15:34:36 DKA897@comcast.net Mramazing: Shut up you twat. And TBS, don't forget Kick-Ass was picked up as a movie simultaneous to the launch of the comic.

		2010-08-11 01:14:36 bubaroni and kick-ass was overhyped and not very fun.

		2010-08-11 01:29:11 Toni Smith seriously mr amazing, must you always spout the pseudo intellectual talking points? You always come off as a fucking follower, Millar hating is getting old, and it doesn't make you seem smart, you just sound like a sheep.

		2010-08-11 03:02:54 mramazing Oh come guys don't play that blind fan boy love it's lame. Kick-ass was sh1t. Nemesis was worse. Toni how do I ever come off as a follower?? Plus everyone I know loves Miller.

		2010-08-11 11:35:20 Toni Smith You're a follower because you always spout the same negative shit on whomever is given the pariah stamp, and you do it in a really snide, smell your own farts kind of way. Doing stupid shit like putting inverted commas around a guy's job just because you think he sucks or just being a twat. Bashing Millar is the thing to do, look at all the twat websites: ign, comics alliance, etc. that's a;; they ever do.

		2010-08-11 11:55:51 mramazing Well that was mature. Your parents brought you up well. anywho if I disagree with something I will say. Everyone seems to love Miller. DC Comics is such a place. However there will always be both sides posted. Getting all (I have no idea what that was) does really say a lot about you. Oh and I am not negative about everything. I often say good things.

		2010-08-11 12:33:14 Toni Smith Wait, you don't know that I meant to write all, (I'll admit, should've proofread) yet you wrote it down yourself just to point it out, knowing full well that's what I meant. This is the pompous twerp bullshit I'm going on about. That and just the over-ALL passive aggressive manner of your posts: dissing my parents, wow, way to take the high road. This is a message board dude: if it were a real place it'd be a urine soaked alley where you could get a 3 dollar BJ, decorum isn't a priority.

		2010-08-11 12:35:51 Toni Smith Plus, your very first comment refers to a guy as a cock, essentially, you initiated the vulgarity in this discussion. So don't play the high horse card now that you've been called on your bullshit. Just go back to the IGN boards or whatever and go on with the other fart sniffers.

		2010-08-11 15:21:13 bubaroni then kick-ass movie did blow. hahaha fart sniffer. lets make up some more school boy names. hey toni, YOU PLAY BALL LIKE A GIRL!!!!

		2010-08-12 04:50:01 mramazing Ha ha ha.I surely hope you are but a teen otherwise you need to check yourself. I said he was a cock as I have met him TWICE and was most unpleasent. I have read interviews with him and they didn't change my mind. Toni you are just vile. But people like you enjoy being as such behind the safety of your laptop. Lame.

		2010-08-12 11:50:16 Toni Smith You must really enjoy the Rachel Maddow debate model, where you try to use the most sophisticated sounding insults to trump yourself up. But the fact of the matter is that you are nothing but an arrogant little twerp that likes to think he's sharp, but you're a fucking follower. So go read "Blankets" or whatever retarded asinine crap that makes you feel intellectual and don't bother being negative about a movie you already had no interest in seeing from a director you could probably care less about.
