Whenever a new media adaptation of the works of legendary comics creator Alan Moore are announced, the first question that often springs to mind is “What will Alan Moore say?”
Well, last week, his and Kevin O’Neill’s League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen was announced as being in development for a TV series for FOX, and sure enough, Entertainment Weekly’s Geoff Boucher went out to get the answer to that question.
“Me and Kevin have been chuckling about that one, we only heard about it the other day,” Moore said in an interview posted at EW.com. “When [DC Comics] did the recent Watchmen prequel comics I said all of sorts of deeply offensive things about the modern entertainment industry clearly having no ideas of its own and having to go through dust bins and spittoons in the dead of night to recycle things.”
“The announcement that there is a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen television series hasn’t caused me to drastically alter my opinions. Now it seems they are recycling things that have already proven not to work,” he added.
