If I had known it had anything to do with this crew, and to be noted -- Richie is a rock star, I may have actually picked it up. Now I'll just lie and say I was there in the beginning before all this happened.

For 15 drafts. Adam Simon did 2.<BR/><BR/>4) F Gary Gray was attached to direct at one time, as well as Zack (Dawn of the Dead) Snyder.<BR/><BR/>5) Matt has always told me that he was happy with the script. If he ever was unhappy, it's the first I've heard about it.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>-RRoss Richiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019245413630950872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9380399.post-1122579885423156262005-07-28T12:44:00.000-07:002005-07-28T12:44:00.000-07:00Now, instead of two producer friends, I have a pro...<I>Now, instead of two producer friends, I have a producer and writer friend who ... no longer need me as their writer.

Kevin Smith was gonna write a script at one point, I think. And Robert Rodriguez was gonna direct.<BR/><BR/>Wound up in development hell, with a script that was a bit of a departure from the comic, and Matt Wagner wasn't too happy with it...or maybe they couldn't find anyone to pony up the cash to film it...<BR/><BR/>That all sounds kinda familiar. I'm sure John will have the real story whenever he gets his butt back online.<BR/><BR/>And <I>Damn Nation</I> was damn cool.
