Hellboy Producer making 'Echo'- COMIC BOOK ADAPTATION. Not A Good Idea...

[Ben]

"Echo" is a great comic book story.

But they should not convert this into a live action feature.

This movie should be 100% animation -- buckets of paint and inkers....

This could be a light version of female version of AKIRA.

JAPAN..........please come to our rescue.

Do you agree....

Ben, when December rolls around in a few months, would you grant me one Christmas wish and refrain from posting here for one week? Just seven measly days. That's all I ask. A Ben-free zone to make my holiday season a little brighter.

Think about it. You'll have no idea how much good cheer you'll spread by just taking some time away from the site.

Thanks for the consideration, champ.

I BET money that this producer will not listen to anyone.

Champagne Wishes And Caviar Dreams-- listen
to Japan animation...I told them.

I BET money that this producer will not listen to anyone.

At least you'll have something in common with him.

[Ben]

Echo -- just checked it out again.
this has potential to be huge.

[MacG]

Six days. That's all I'm asking for now, Ben. Six days. You've already made me negotiate down a full 24-hours. Please. For the love of God, please.

Some stories were meant to be created in the animation medium and that's all there is to it. I'd have to agree with you, Ben.

I heard they were doing a live action Voltron as well. Why? Hopefully after
G I Joe flops, they'll learn their lesson.

[Ben]

:mpopcorn: Some comic stores on the net, are selling out of Echo.
The power of one blog.
Damn.
So unfair.

At least you'll have something in common with him.

That got a laugh out of me, I admit. :D

[Ben]

Echo- read it again.
Love it.
This is one cool story.

[Madbandit]

At least you'll have something in common with him.

LOL

[MacG]

Five days, Ben. Just one work week. It'll fly by in an instant. You can do it! I have faith in you!

[Ben]

just found out Echo -- marketing -- will be COMIC CON 2009,
if you're going -- check it out.

[MacG]

Okay, FOUR days. This is my final offer. Seriously. Take it or leave it. Think of all the wonderful things you could do with four days away from Done Deal, Ben! Oh, the possibilities!

[Ben]

E,the dialouges in Echo is right on the money.
Just to show how the writing for comics and scripts
can be different. COMIC CON is going to be a blast.

E. No problem.

[Anagram]

The way negotiations are going MacG's going to end up spending a week away...

[MacG]

The way negotiations are going MacG's going to end up spending a week away from DDP...

THREE days, Ben. 72 hours. You can do that standing on your head.

[Poetic C]

Dude. Ben is sooooo a BOT. I'm convinced. Hands down. A bot with a human handler.

Ben-Bot - I command you to cease and desist!
