RODRIGUEZ TO RUIN MADMAN

Well, Robert Rodriguez is going to produce a live-action MADMAN film, based on Mike Allred's ginchy comic of the same name. George "Swimming With Sharks" Huang is set to direct. Huang and Allred will co-write the script.

I love MADMAN. Its a great, fun, funny pop-art comic that always leaves me feeling better for reading it. However, I just don't see this working as a live action film --Much like THE TICK didn't quite translate over to live action. Maybe if they went along the lines of the TANK GIRL adaptation (which, in addition, incorporated comic stills and animation into the movie).... hmmm, MAYBE 2D animated film could work... but again, you lose that pop-art feel which makes up so much of the experience and tone.

Plus, I don't like Rodriguez' films. Bah!!!

Instead, someone pay Allred to make more Madman comics!! I mean seriously, when is this book going to be back on a regular schedule? Its been years, dude.....
