The writer reveals his sentiments regarding the upcoming film!

Read the RED script.  Not bad.  Not the book, but not bad. Funny.  Especially when you know the casting.  Very tight piece of work.  Talked to the producers last week.  They're all kind of giddy over the casting coups.  Who wouldn't want to see Helen Mirren with a sniper rifle?

"I am totally cool with it," he said. "I understand the fact that, when you translate a comic to a movie, there are going to be some things that are either not going to make the translation or are going to add to it and become more than what you did. And with a comic like this that was three issues long — I mean, we're talking 66 pages — it has to be fleshed out a little bit. So I'm totally cool with that. I am looking forward to seeing it."

"if Warren Ellis digs it, then I guess I can too."

I cant wait for this, like Babs said If Ellis Digs it then im seeing it

I liked Red, but I don't think it would have made a good movie (as it was, I mean). This sounds cool though, and I'll see pretty much anything with Bruce Willis in it.

Wow, that is not promising if you read between the lines.

Warren Ellis writes so many damn titles and projects...um, does he have his brain hooked up to a computer while he sleeps?

What are you finding between these lines that leaves you with that impression? "

" Not bad.  Not the book, but not bad. Funny.  Especially when you know the casting."  Translation: Shit, but the people involved are nice and I wouldn't bite the hand that feeds me. "

I heard RED was a good mini. I plan on picking up the back issues or trade. Hopefully before the movie comes out since I'll most likely check that out too.
