SHH interviews
Sylvain White (
The Losers):
"It's still being developed. I just got a new draft a week ago. It's looking really good and promising. I hope it gets to go... [Mine is] a big-budget, big blockbuster take on it. I'd love to do it in 3D. I think it'd be ridiculous and amazing."
"I think it'd make a brilliant video game as well, something along the lines of
Assassin's Creed but from a first-person perspective. I think it's just a great property and a great concept. It's got so many ideas in it in terms of commentary and philosophy.
Frank Miller is a genius when it comes to that. It took so long because the source material is so complex. It's very difficult, and it's not linear, and it doesn't really fit into a film format off the bat...but I think with
Ronin we need a little bit of streamlining, otherwise it's too esoteric. It's something that needs to be done right, and it hasn't really been done right."
White says he doesn't care about getting a "comic book movie guy" label:
"The fortunate thing is that
Ronin is some Frank's earlier work. What's great and what for me works in the graphic novel, aesthetically-speaking, is the design of Aquarius... the design of New York. So I would pay homage to him more in the production design versus the actual frames. The frames in
Ronin are some beautiful frames, and some I would go with, but what's beautiful to me about 'Ronin' is the production design and the character design and the colors that are used. What they want to see is that you stayed true to the story, true to the characters and true to the design."
Ronin is a comic book released in 1983 and 1984 by DC Comics, it blends feudal Japan with a darkly futuristic, cyberpunk New York city, telling the story of a reincarnated Ronin and his final showdown with the soul of the man who killed his master.
The Losers is slated for a April 9th 2010 release.
