It's been years since Comics
2 Film
has been able to offer a report on a movie
version of Matt Wagner's Grendel.
We recently attended an online chat at the
in hopes of learning more about the in-development
Mage movie, as well as any plans
for Grendel. It looks like
fans of The Devil will have to keep waiting.
When a chatter identified as
Echo_Grendel asked about if Wagner hoped to make
a Hunter Rose movie, the comic creator responded,
"Oh yes. Its just that Grendel
will garner more [money], if Mage
is hot shit. Hate to be a whore, but we're almost
considering Grendel more of a
franchise than Mage."
Wagner's told us in the past that he wants to see
the Mage movie through before he
focuses any attention on Grendel.
We asked Wagner how the
screenplay for Mage is coming along
and what interaction he had with screenwriter
John Rogers. "Rogers is a huge Mage
fan. So far, I'm thrilled with the interaction.
Which means, I know when to leave him alone..."
For fans who missed out on
the Wagner chat, Kevin Hawkins tells us that
another is scheduled for March 8th at 6:30 PST, 9:30
EST. See the Mage site for more details.
