What is the difference for adapting comics for film and adapting for television?
Television is the ideal medium to tell character driven stories, and allows the writers and producers to delve into season long story and character arcs, from 13 to 22 hours of storytelling. For a feature, you have the challenge to tell a story in about two hours, so every aspect of plot and character must be condensed for the shorter running time.
What experiences from bringing comic book characters to life, such as the Hulk and Aeon Flux have you brought to the Walking Dead?
Aeon Flux was not a comic; it was an anime/animated series on MTV’s Liquid Television. My comic book movies include The Punisher and Hulk films. They were helpful insofar as one must respect the fans of the original, yet recognize that any adaptation for film or TV will ultimately differ from the source material. While fans want adaptations to be fairly faithful to the underlying material, they are also hoping to be surprised with some new plot twists. It is also essential to involve the creators of the comic books and consult with them throughout the adaptation process.
