Alan Moore hates films based on his comics so he's making his own
 
Tweet 
It seems comic legend Alan Moore ( Watchmen, V for Vendetta) doesn't
hate movies exclusively, just the ones based on his works. The acclaimed
comics writer is actually working on his first film now, and we now have
the first inklings of what it's about.
Moore is working on a new, indie short film series dubbed Show Pieces,
and he's teamed up with photographer Mitch Jenkins to make it happen.
Considering how vehemently he has opposed films based on his comics,
it's definitely interesting to see him branching out into the medium.
According to /Film  , the "noir flecked," "occult" project will play
out as a "multi-layered, multi-episode narrative."
Apart from the episode titles "Act of Faith" and "Jimmy's End," that's
about all we know at the moment. But we're definitely curious to see
what Moore will cook up.
The film is set to debut at the Creator's Project in NYC, before rolling
out on the project's website  .
Sound off: Do you think Moore will make a good filmmaker?

Actually it will be intersting to see a writer do a project like that.
Many writers tend to have beefs with film adaptations of their books.

Michael Crichton was a big exception but it has often been said he
wrote his books with film versions in mind (Including, often, thinking
of what woule be different in each.)
