Kirkman se moque de...

Robert Kirkman, l'auteur du comic book The Walking Dead, a répondu à une interview au blog Vulture du NYMag. Le contenu est assez identique à l'itw d'AICN dont je parlais en news, à une exception près. Dans l'avant-dernière question, le journaliste lui demande quel était le plus mauvais pitch de série qu'on lui ait proposé pour adapter son comic book. Réponse :

I don’t want to name any names, but we did meet with a director who’s fairly big-time. He directed a big-budget action movie that came out last summer — that’ll be our code for that — and we were on the phone with him and he said, “You know, when you came back and he dug up Shane, and shot him because he was a zombie? You really missed an opportunity there, because when he arrives at that grave, Shane could have busted out of that grave and started fighting him and you could have had Shane become, like, a super zombie and then he could have been made the main villain for the rest of the book. And he could have superpowers and be leading the zombies. It would have been really cool." So I had to get off the phone pretty quick after that. But yeah, some people just didn’t get it.

Si je comprends bien a priori, mais ça demande confirmation, il parle du réalisateur de G.I. Joe, Stephen Sommers.
