I just edited an Iron Man post which we will publish in a few weeks and it is dated January, 2007. The fact is that Ben and I have been discussing the hazards and benefits of comics to film projects for as long as we can remember. It was not until we hit upon talking about Cap that we spoke in more practical and mythic terms. It has been a tremendous exercise in writing.<br /><br />Many surprises lay ahead for Cap. As we try to find different ways to tell his story. It has become clear that there is abundant material for those who look and the WWII era is a fascinating one. This is also both a love letter to film from Ben and I and a clear rebuke to all the corner cutters, be they directors, writers, actors or studios who only see comic characters as cash cows and therefore do not look any deeper into the characters than they have to.<br /><br />Where do we go from here? In case of emergency break the ice.RICK Arthur, Founderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16925622575714675074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048006265600046573.post-87069944438375635942011-03-24T10:47:43.727-07:002011-03-24T10:47:43.727-07:00Sergeff Suomi write:
