"The tone is very different, but there is a fair amount from our book that is in the movie," Hamner told MTV News. "The setup is pretty close, I would say."

"They go off in their own direction, but you know how if you read 'Jaws' and see the movie 'Jaws,' they're two completely different things? They're both valid, they're both great. I don't know if I would want to give up the film version of 'Jaws' to make something that's note-for-note exactly the same as the book."

"I think we both love the comic. The movie is its own thing. They took our basic recipe and did something completely different with it. I think it's great."

"The first 10 minutes of the film are very much like the first 12 pages of the book, including the fight scene in Moses' house with the strike team," Ellis added. "That could have come right off the pages. I was gratified to see that when I was on the set, there were copies of the graphic novel around, and there were copies of the graphic novel in the editing room."

"They were keeping the books around for reference!"

tea: Thanks bud! :) To be honest, I'm feeling the same way about this movie. I know nothing about the comic book and although the trailer looked good, it didnt get me excited enough to want to make the effort to go and see it at the cinema.

I know squat about the comic, but the film looks so freakin badass. Helen is kickin ass and Bruce is a legend. The whole cast is perfect!

If the movie would follow the story of the Graphic Novel closely it would be like a 30 minutes movie. The movie looks good to me, if it gets to the theaters in here I'll see it in it.
