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.”

Guillermo Del Toro is turning into one of Hollywood’s most go-to guys right now. He has been asked to direct ‘Halo,’ which fell through, he’s not officially signed on to direct ‘The Hobbit’ but chances are he will. Now, Del Toro might be looking to direct an adaptation of the video game ‘BioShock’ if the film is presented the right way…

“I love BIOSHOCK from a design point of view,” says del Toro. “But Unless its a HELLBOY sequel I am not that eager to engage in another action-oriented movie. Even if the other elements are right. BUT… if I found the right pitch on the material, who knows – the BIOSHOCK universe is indeed wonderful.”

Del Toro is a wonderful director and so far I have loved every movie he’s directed (that I have seen) and I would love to see more coming from him. He has a very gifted mind when it comes to cinematics and making something on film look stunning. I hope someone is able to make a ‘BioShock’ script that is not a run-and-gun-em type of movie.
