His work on Sin City was great. Of course, he would need to tweak Miller’s humorless story, but that’s the only way I can see this turning out as anything approaching watchable.

I’m pretty sure Frank Miller began making a graphic novel sequel to 300 shortly after 300 received its’ opening weekend box office results. A quick online search will allow you to find some more info on the book, but this movie will be based on the artwork and graphic novel created by Frank Miller.

How about doing another graphic novel movie like Sláine, if done right it would be miles better than 300 because he’s a better character and the comics have an amazing mix of humour and violence, magic demons chicks etc. As long as it’s as faithful as possible to the comic it will work beautifully. Or most things by 2000AD(done faithfully) would be amazing. Slaughterbowl for instance would be a massive movie if only for the amazing twist at the end!! Oh wait sorry Hollywood are afraid to make R rated movies (because kids are the ones with the jobs and money!!)
