Why Allen Moore Hates The Movie Industry

[Troy Spiral (13)]

Allen Moore, the creator of Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Constantine, From Hell, The Leauge Of Extrodinary Genetelman hates hollywood:

What is it about the works of beloved writers that often leads to such crappy movies? Is there something about Stephen King or Alan Moore that simply doesn't work on the big screen? Show me one good King adaptation and I'll show you four or five awful ones. Is it just bad luck? Moore has had to watch as his films have struggled through horrific behind-the-scenes turmoil, most of which has negatively impacted the final films and, as a result, this brilliant writer has declared himself done with the Hollywood scene.

The Long Version:

Real interesting article. Lots of details.

One I know they really fucked bad was From Hell. From Hell is this shadowy noir type thing and the movie was a cops & robbers film. Ugh.

Although, me personally, I'd be pissed off all the way to the bank if I got Hollywood money form my comic-book salary creation.

Odd how all the stuff I was TRYING to get my friends to read in high school / college is now being turned into a movie and all the sudden I have random friends telling me about these "movies" as if its something I need to know about but am ignorant of.

Not that I take it uber-seriously. This is ENTERTAINMENT we are talking about here. Gotta keep it in perspective. Is not the proving of super symmetry or the discovery of a completed theory of mind.
