I think a lot of the success of his stories comes from the pacing of the story mixed with the visuals. That is fine in a comic book spread out over several issues or a graphic novel collection. People complain about how decompressed modern comic book storytelling has become, with whole issues of back story and character reactions. A lot of this can be attributed (or blamed) on Moore’s success with the same sort of methods.

A 6 hour movie with long scenes of characters thinking, or just being really wouldn’t work well for the mainstream market that is required for a movie to really make enough money to payoff the studio’s risks these days. They core can be kept, but as an artist, I doubt that is enough for him.

From what i recall, Moore has not accepted any money for the adaptions of his work. He’s always refused the payments. He also has no say in what gets made into a movie because he doesn’t own the rights to his work.

Like how Miller worked with Rodriguez. It doesn’t hurt to try and be there even when Snyder gave him an open invite.

Whatever, I’m very much looking forward to Snyder’s next film. He’s proved himself to be a great director thus far.

Isiaah, Moore no longer owns the rights to most of the comics he wrote in the 80s under D.C. That’s why film adaptations continue to be made, and since he knows it will never be true to the vision in his head, he chooses to remove himself from it entirely. It’s not like he’s selling the rights himself and then turning his back.
