In an interview with Wired, the writer was asked about how work is progressing on We3; the story of three prototype "animal weapons," as they flee captivity. The group consists of a dog, a cat and a rabbit who were all kidnapped from a nearby city and encased in robotic armor. We3 meet and overcome numerous hazards on their flight to freedom, as they are pursued by the full might of the military, including other engineered animal weapons. The news on that movie however is not good.

"We3 is just stalled, as usual. People just keep asking, ‘What the tone? What’s the tone?’ Which is a shame. But I’ve got other stuff coming up that could change everything, and make people look again at those films. But you know how Hollywood is: There’s a bunch of irons in the fire, and we’re all waiting for some of them to catch."

When the critically acclaimed comic book writer was quizzed about the upcoming animated movie from DC, All-Star Superman, which is also based on his and Frank Quitely's work, he said the following: "I saw the movie and it’s one of my top three superhero movies ever. Only the superfans are going to complain, because the film has about 90 percent of my stuff in it. Much of it is actual dialogue taken from the book."



Looking forward to the All-Star Superman animated movie? Disappointed about We3 not heading to the big screen anytime soon? Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!

WE3 was awesome. A truly heartbreaking story that will make you hate humanity. I never even knew that it was up for film treatment. Really hyped about All-Star Superman.

That sucks about We3. It's one of my favorite mini-series of all time. It was sad but the happy ending made up for it.

Careful everyone, don't stumble into Xenix's open mind!

His work on Batman is great but also confusing as hell...I just hope that the conclusion to "The Road Home" brings an end to the bizarre saga he started back in RIP and will give us all the answers we need. Who the [frick] is Doctor Hurt, lol!?! I'm intrigued by We3 though. Worth picking up I take it guys?

It's the goriest most kid-unfriendly comic I've ever read that wasn't written in fecal matter on Frank Miller's bathroom wall.

Xenix, There is a reason why "Dont judge a book by it's cover" is such an old saying. WE3 is not a story about super robot pets. Its about what kind of torture lab animals go through in the name of progress. The story really speaks to what lows we as humans will sink to, just to find better ways to kill each other. As an animal lover and pet owner I thought the book was really touching. If a general audience cant get behind that screw 'em.

Morrison's run on Animal Man (Issues 1 - 26) remain one of the finest story arcs I've ever read in comics.

You hit your head on a nail … I mean, you hit the nail on the head. Unfortunately, when somebody with the vision finally sees what he’s missed, it’ll be too late. But that’s business, today. If you hit on something good, stick with it until you drive it into the ground. So much of Hollywood is like seeing a sharp newly painted and detailed classic car, but inside it’s the same ole torn seats, stained carpeting and burns in the headliner: New stars, new era, same plot.Stimelex

We3 is indeed brilliant. One of the saddest books I've ever read.

@JoshW: Doctor Hurt is the Devil, it is clearly stated by one of the fake Batmen in one of the issues before RIP.

we3 was super sad and violent, i wish they could do it justice.

As the story is, it is not for children.

AllStar Superman rocked can't wait for the movie,

keep rolling them out DC Animation.

The fact that there are people on this site that don't know about We3, is just sad. That explains all the 0o reactions to Capt A with a gun lol. Some just arn't worthy of this site =P. Should be a test of comic book know how to log in.

Anyways Xenix...if you want an adult movie that shows the same message as We3, rent (if you can find it) or youtube, Men Behind the Sun.
