Since first taking the leap into directing Sin City with Robert Rodriguez, Frank Miller has become infatuated with it. Miller likes directing so much, he has told MTV that he may just direct an adaptation of his comic Hard Boiled.

While I am only familiar with his Sin City novels, Hard Boiled sounds like it would be worth my time. It has been declared one of the most violent comic books ever created and follows Carl Seitz, an insurance investigator who unexpectedly discovers that he’s actually a cyborg named Nixon, a psychotic assassin/tax collector who’s also heralded as the future savior of the robot race.

Miller is currently directing The Spirit, which is an adaptation of Will Eisner’s comic. He told MTV that he wants no one else to direct Hard Boiled but himself.

“I’m in love with directing,” he gushed. “I’ve found a way to expand my career. Comics and directing are really two sides of the same coin. That’s what Robert Rodriguez taught me…good drama is good drama.”

Justin Marks is relatively new to the movie business. As of right now, he’s just finished writing a script for a new ‘Street Fighter’ and he has been given the duty to write ‘Voltron: Defender of the Universe,’ ‘He-Man and the Masters of the Universe’ and ‘Supermax.’

Marks has now been asked to pen the screenplay for an upcoming adaptation of the book/graphic novel series ‘Hack/Slash.’ The series follows Cassie Hack who survived a massive attack by a masked villian, and now she roams the United States hunting down villians.

I have not read any of these novels, but I must say I am little more interested in reading some now.

If you are a fan of the series, are you excited to see it being adapted into a film? Discuss below!
