Hollywood should consider that both 300 and Sin City both sprang from an imagination no longer constrained by censorship and dictated to by untalented editors and suits. There IS no "next 300." But I think Doug Tennapel's "Creature Tech" (from Top Shelf) has the potential to be a "Men In Black" size success (or bigger) if Fox will just get on with it. Come to think of it, "Men In Black" was from a comic, too... And I assume DC/Warner will OWN “War In Heaven” lock, stock and barrel, or at least retain a beast-worthy mouthful of the merchandising.

I don't understand the last part, though, about Tony Harris. I get the sarcasm, but are you saying that Hollywood execs are trying to fit a round peg in a square hole by making the two out to be similar?
