And while the director wants to remain true to the original story, he said that a project like "Ronin" would only be hurt by attempting to film it panel-for-panel, as Miller adaptations like "Sin City" and "300" were done.
Finally, someone gets it. Sin City was terrible, and 300 wasn't much better, but luckily it was a simple story about half naked men hacking each other to bits, so it was a little hard to screw up. And I don't even want to see Watchmen
Sure, this guy directed Stomp the Yard, but based on the statement above, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, at least I don't have to put up with Zac Snyder ruining another movie by slavishly imitating each panel.

sylvian has been attached to this for 3 years now. i'm suprised the film is still on the table to be filmed.
Okay, before this thread this is what I knew about Tish, zip, zero, nada.
I now know that Tish is a heavily armed, black, bi-sexual, truck driving woman who likes going to the clubs.
I don't think I learned this much about Tom in six months let alone one post. - Boldido
I'm begining to like Tish more and more, that's what I know. - cable guy

Hey, who's to say that a creator isn't up for a total change of genre and tone?
Meanwhile, I somewhat see what he means by how panel to panel wouldn't work on Ronin. It's just not as cinematic a book as 300 or Sin City. It's more of a comic using panels in a less storyboard way and more using unique comics storytelling. Though I do hope they translate it well and don't just start monkeying around with the story.Xenos
