    Mark Millar’s been teasing about there being some huge Millarworld movie announcement and I suppose they don’t run much bigger than a major director like Tony Scott handling a NEMESIS adaptation. Bleeding
    Cool
    ran the scoop first and it’s been confirmed by Deadline. I’ll give it to Millar, this guy is getting things done.  When he was talking about NEMESIS  already being in the pipeline as a movie, I was a little skeptical and, after this, I’m pretty sure he isn’t kidding about what he’s been saying that Matthew Vaughn already trying to get SUPERIOR off the ground as a movie. The man knows how to promote himself and get his work out there.

    Man… having Tony Scott direct a super-hero movie would be really wild. I can’t even picture his kinetic, heavy coverage style used for this kind of outlandish carnage. Sure, outlandish carnage is his trademark, but all of his movies have been more-or-less set in the real world so far. Anyway, if you somehow aren’t familiar with Tony Scott’s filmographies, he’s directing some a slew of memorable action movies like TOP GUN, THE LAST BOY SCOUT, MAN ON FIRE and ENEMY OF THE STATE. == TEASER ==

    I wonder if this’ll give Millar’s brother’s sky-diving-as-Nemesis stunt even more attention. Maybe he ought to wait to jump until this project’s closer to being off the ground.

    Anyway, what do you Comic Vine maniacs think about this? Are you stoked to see a NEMESIS movie? What do you think of Tony Scott directing it?

    Mark Millar is becoming the "Steven King" comic book version of being adapted from their literature,
    ha, here's to hoping they don't "hollywood" them down like the morbid tragedy that was Wanted

    Seriously? What is it about Millar's stuff that makes people want to turn it into a movie before it's even finished? Superior's first issue is still a ways from dropping and they're talking about a movie?

    Tont Scott?
    eh, he'll make the scenes way too long and overly dramatic, using a ton of different camera angles. And above all else he loves using Denzel Washington, so i wont be surprised to see him as Nemsis. if you ask me, i really dont think Tony Scott should direct this movie, it's way too epic for him to handle.

    I like the series so far, but I don't see why they're rushing in to making it a movie so soon. And same with Superior. Sounds like the movie will come out before the comic does.

    If Tony Scott is directing a movie based on it, then Mark Millar just sold his comic book to me. 
     
    I am a longtime Tony Scott fanatic.  I'm kind of sad to see that you didn't mention some of his other films like True Romance and Domino, both of which played a ton with film stocks and frame shots.  Domino was especially great, as he overdeveloped the film stock in order to give it this acid trip type of look.  Crimson Tide was another great flick, but one of my absolute favorites is Spy Game.  Brad Pitt and Robert Redford were f#$!ing AMAZING in that flick, and the story as a whole was well done.  However, the movie wouldn't have been nearly as slick if Tony hadn't been behind the camera.
     
    He and Ridley are also the only directors that can make a movie where I like seeing Denzel Washington in the film.

    Seriously? This is like Kick-Ass it was already being made into a movie barely halfway into the first volume. This is ridiculous there's only been 2 issues and Superior isn't even out yet....so annoying.

    It will be a successful among that general populace as it will be tagged with "From the Writer of Kick-Ass"
     
    But yes, way too early for this to even being thought about IMO, finish the series first

    This wont be anything like Kick-Ass.  Tony Scott will edit the absolute freakin' crap out of this thing so the viewer HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS HAPPENING.  Just in case you might be able to follow what's going on he'll digitally color code the thing all to hell for good measure so it looks like a million color wheels were puked into a giant bucket.   Millar is already at his worst when he has too much freedom.  He has an ego the size of Alaska.  The first issue of Nemesis (which I actually liked) had an afterward written by Millar that took longer to read than the comic and was only about how awesome he is and blah blah blah.

    The movie is going to blow just like Kick-Ass. They'll change it all up (even though we all haven't even read it all) dumb it down for the average movie goer, and maybe make it PG-13 HAHA!I can't wait I'll support Marvel even if it sucks those bastards!

    Well kids, here's a good lesson for you. Write derivative juvenile tosh without an ounce of originality and you too can have it made into a hollywood movie with a respected director at the helm. 
    Not that I'm bitter, you understand. 
    I find it hard to like anything Millar writes and nothing he has done in the past few years has appealed to me in any way. 
    Its all well and good to take an established character, alter the looks, background and personality and call it your own but Millar seems unable to make his creations interesting and/or likeable.

    Oh, goody - another Millar comic will get turned into a movie before the story's finished. That worked so well for Wanted and Kick-Ass.

    The narrative lacks depth. Do not see it working as well as Kick-Ass as a film. Scott directing would not give me any more hope for it.
