I really hope they're not pulling our legs with a bogus script or something. This movie would be so fucking good.Grant Morrison has adapted his comicbook miniseries We3 into a feature script for New Line, and I've been lucky enough to read a copy. Luckier still, it's amazing. It's even better than the source material. In fact, this is the single best unproduced script I have ever read. Yep. And I really mean it.
What's so great? The answer to that, if I'm really going to cover it, is very long. I'll do my best, though, and I'll share whatever I think is fair to share from the script - so expect some minor spoilers, certainly as regards the first two thirds of the plot.
This is going to take more than one installment to do justice, so to start off with, tonight, I'm going to tell you the basics of what's going on, introduce the characters and some of the big ideas and give you a general overview of the story. Then, in further installments, we'll look at some of the scenes, set-pieces and sequences in more detail, and cover some of the really good stuff that I won't be able to boil down to just a few lines.
In a nutshell, We3 is the story of a cruel and inhumane military weapons research project and it's victims. It just so happens that the three characters at the forefront of this story, those who suffer the most, are a trinity of household pets. Well, at least, they used to be household pets but now Bandit the dog, Tinker the cat and Pirate the rabbit have been transformed into the flesh components of an incredible team of cyborg weapons.
In armoured shells and equipped with an array of very powerful weapons, these animals, the We3 are being used by the US military in the kinds of covert operations where no witnesses remain.

Cool.
I would love this on the big screen.
One of my favourite books, such a shame it was so short.
Delirium: Have you ever spent days and days and days making up flavours of ice cream that no one's ever eaten before? Like chicken and telephone ice cream?.... Green mouse ice cream was the worst. I didn't like that at all.Mung Daal: We gotta get rid of this gum before Truffles sees it.
Shnitzel: Radda radda radda radda?
Mung Daal: No, we can't chuck him in the furnace.
This would be fantastic. I hope it's going somewhere.
The only comic I actually want to be a film.
done right, this could be an amazing film.
Yeah. Sounds fantastic. Personally, I thought it was exactly as long as it needed to be. All of those little three-issue miniseries Morrison did were fantastic, but my favorites were We3 with Vimanarama as a close second.
This is my signature.
It could make an amazing film, but the pessimistic part of me just thinks Hollywood will either A: turn it into a kid-friendly animal movie or B: turn it into a thoughtless actionfest with "non-stop thrills" and about as much acting and plot as Universal Soldier.

Who's going to direct this?
And who'd be best to do it?
To bad Kubrick is dead; he'd be my choice, so long as he didn't modify the script to his own ends.
