Mark Millar Offers A Brief Update On NEMESIS

Scottish comic book writer Mark Millar is currently over in Los Angeles to meet with various studio bigwigs about some of the planned adaptations of his work, and it sounds as if Nemesis (pencilled by Steve McNiven) may finally be getting closer to becoming a reality.

If the following comments taken from Mark Millar's Twitter account are anything to by, it looks like work is finally moving ahead on the big screen adaptation of Nemesis. According to the prolific writer, he's been in meetings with Fox all week about the film (Tony Scott was at one point attached to direct, although Joe Carnahan's name has since been thrown around) and this is hopefully a sign that the studio are now making an effort to adapt the Millar/McNiven series. He's also meeting with Mark Hamill, so hopefully that means we'll see him make an appearance in Matthew Vaughn's planned adaptation of The Secret Service. No word on the current status of Superior and Supercrooks...

Interesting week ahead. Studios got me in on nemesis and kickass 2 biz and we're taking the great mark hamill out for dinner on thurs.

For once, I'm with grif. ^

@ prot3ctor

i did forget about supercrooks,that wasn't a bad comic either.

IronDean2099 - 8/16/2012, 9:20 AM

Could Mark Hamill be involved? He could play Nemesis like an old bored guy looking for a chance to let loose and go psycho. I can see it.

IronDean2099 - 8/16/2012, 9:21 AM

Nemesis is my favorite Millar book out side of Marvel.

BackwardGalaxy - 8/16/2012, 9:21 AM

I know absolutely nothing about Nemesis, but he looks like a badass white Batman.

SoFresh - 8/16/2012, 9:26 AM

Have any of you tried to cover batmans pointy ears in the european arkham city cover, he looks just like nemesis.

IronDean2099 - 8/16/2012, 9:26 AM

That's exactly what he is.

Bread - 8/16/2012, 9:49 AM

YES!

@dgaboor
Yeah I know that, but I still found that interesting.

DarthTesla - 8/16/2012, 10:14 AM

Nemesis was freakin' awesome. Can't wait for the movie.

AlexDeLarge87 - 8/16/2012, 11:01 AM

Patrick Wilson, Charlie Hunnam, Mike Fassbender, Paul Bettany, Guy Pearce and Jude Law are my choices as Nemesis.
Liam Neeson as Blake Morrow

Optimus83 - 8/16/2012, 11:03 AM

I want to see Paul Bettany as Nemesis in the movie. ...

AlexDeLarge87 - 8/16/2012, 11:04 AM

Liam Neeson vs Paul Bettany would be awesome!

StSharp - 8/16/2012, 12:52 PM

Nemesis is going to be very intersting as a film. Cant wait!

Dedpool - 8/16/2012, 12:54 PM

Bettany would work but I like Guy Pierce in the part.
Neeson definitely needs to play officer Blake!!

IIIAdamantiumIII - 8/16/2012, 4:42 PM

guy pearce should do deadpool

mctrinket - 8/17/2012, 4:17 AM

No way they do Nemesis right. They will eff it up like Wanted. No movie company has the balls to put up that kind of dough for a super hero movie without a hero.

rbfn04 - 8/17/2012, 11:45 AM

Tired of Millar's hyperviolence, copycat ideas.

supersalt - 8/17/2012, 2:42 PM

Am I the only person in the world that though this book was utterly terrible?

rbfn04 - 8/17/2012, 2:51 PM

@supersalt No, good sir.
