Transmetropolitan

Should it be a movie?

Hell yes.

A movie of the graphic novel The Watchmen would be a disaster, no matter who wrote it/directed it/was cast in it, because that story could not possibly have the power on the screen that it wields on paper.

But Transmet, by The Dark Lord Warren Ellis, would be brilliant. The story is more free to interpretation, and the fact that Patrick Stewart (pompous, sure, but gifted) is a fan of the book and would reportedly love to do the flick...suggests that it might possibly be done correctly if pursued.

OK. Day began at 0330. Sleep now.
