9 Mark Millar Comics That Should Be Movies
It's Millar time
By George WalesSep 9th 2010Canon Fodder
The Comic: Millar teams up with Chris Weston for this 2000 AD series set in a future where Judgement Day has been and gone, with God failing to turn up at the allotted hour. As a result, the earth is crawling with the risen dead, with only priest-cum-copper Canon Fodder to keep them in check.
The Movie Version: The plot is pretty outlandish at the best of times, with characters like Sherlock Holmes and Sigmund Freud pitching up unannounced, so we’re thinking a fairly light approach is the order of the day. Oh and the CGI-budget better be up to scratch…Fodder’s dust-up with The Devil himself won’t come cheap.
Dream Director: An ultra-violent yarn starring a scenery-chewing anti-hero, with reams of undead splatter thrown in for good measure? This has got Robert Rodriguez’s name written all over it.
Dream Cast: For a man of God, Canon isn’t half a sarky bastard so we’d like to see Mark Wahlberg reprise his Staff Sergeant Dignam sneer for this one. Would it be another Keanu Reeves/Constantine disaster? It’s a risk we’re willing to take.

I saw a stack of 2000 ADs in a charity shop, flicked through and was very interested to see something by now-superstars Mark Millar and Grant Morrison. Big Dave it's called. Then I find it's racist and above all homophobic, yet whether or not that was the intention, it was somehow all the more enjoyable for it. Doubt anyone in Hollywood would touch that controversy with a barge pole though.

Can I put in a shout for Rogue Trooper? It's got an Aliens feel about it.
