Comic Writers The Key For Successful Movie Adaptations
Written by Ian Cullen on December 22, 2009 – 10:06 am -
Joe Quesada the editor and chief at Marvel Comics has recently stated that the current crop of movies, which are based on Marvel Comics are destined for success because they have writers from the comic business attached.
Quesada revealed plans to turn to comic book creators for advice on adapting comic book properties to feature projects, and believes that other companies will likely follow suit.
He told CBR: “The beauty of the Marvel films now is that guys who work in comics are involved. That’s more than we could have said ten years ago about comic book movies that were getting made.
“Matt Fraction is a perfect example. He got to sit down with Jon Favreau and Kevin Feige and discuss the new Iron Man movie.
“Being the current Iron Man writer, Matt could offer a unique perspective on the character. Brian Michael Bendis is involved in the Marvel Creative Committee, as am I.
“I’m sure, from time to time, we’ll be bringing more creators in as projects call for them. More and more, the Marvel film world reaches out to the comics world, and now you’re starting to see that other studios and comic companies are taking note and are looking to copy that formula in some way.”
