There's no denying after watching the trailer for "Iron Man 2" that we are all hyped up, [well we were hyped up before but I think we are now in a frenzy].
Joe Q, Marvel's EIC, says that that is mainly due to the comic book creators themselves. He also says that that is the main reason that separates them from the pack.
"But the beauty of the Marvel films now, is that guys who work in comics are involved," said Joe Quesada. "That's more than we could have said ten years ago about comic book movies that were getting made."
"Matt Fraction is a perfect example," he continued. "He got to sit down with Jon Favreau and Kevin Feige and discuss the new Iron Man movie. Being the current 'Iron Man' writer, Matt could offer a unique perspective on the character. Bendis is involved in the Marvel Creative Committee, as am I. I'm sure, from time to time, we'll be bringing more creators in as projects call for them. More and more, the Marvel film world reaches out to the comics world, and now you're starting to see that other studios and comic companies are taking note and are looking to copy that formula in some way."
Well the formula works, and if it works then it's worth copying. And if the byproduct is good then it's a win for us CBM fans, for we will have great CBMs that transitioned well from the colored pages of our comics to the movie magic of the cinemas.
If our comic book writers are much involved in the movie making process, we will be assured that what we see in the movies is not the bastardization of the characters we share adventures with.
