Legendary writer Alan Moore who has written novels such as "V for Vendetta" and "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" spoke about films being based on his writings during a recent interview.



Specifically, he hates the way that many of his colleagues get excited when a wonderful comic book gets turned into a worthless movie franchise. He is in the process of severing his links with DC as a result of a press release which said that he was enthusiastic about the forthcoming film of V for Vendetta. On the contrary, "I have made it clear that I want nothing to do with films of my work. I don't want my name on them and I insist that the money go to other creators."
