Why hasn't pic related been adapted to the screen by a major studio yet? (And yes...

oh thx! I had no idea they made TV series adaptation!
>In 1997, the company Ellipse made an animated series containing 26 episodes, which made up 13 stories, 4 of which were entirely new and not based on existing books

I imagine that a film adaptation of this would be received about as well as Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and flop before any of the "normal" Blake and Mortimer stories can be adapted.

By Jove, sign me up !

But there's already a Tintin movie.

Everybody digs The Yellow Mark and the Secret of the Swordfish but S.O.S. Meteors and The Time Trap were pretty amazing as well desu.

He was a Muslim from Pakistan in the original Jacob stories, with many references to Allah

But, for some reason, the new writers made him an Hindu from India...

If you mean the guy in OP's pic he is a white English gentleman

And then there are sci-fi war epics

I haven't read them yet, but do they have this oldschool atompunk influences too used in the Jacobs volumes? idk they seem more boring

Very problematic

It depends, some are espionage thrillers, some reuse some plots from Jacobs, one is a remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark... but they are all good, at least to me

One is even about the tiring conspiracies about Shakespeare's identity. The latest one takes place in China, I have yet to read it.

They are from tibet, they opress everybody, including regular chinese han. Apart from some hippies nobody would really care

It's like ghandi from civilization, it was so peaceful that when the modern age came their agression went into the negative values and rolled back all the way to maximum.

Bump

It could be amazing, but either french or american producers got their hands on this kind of project they will ruin it

So is this just Arab Tintin?

British middle aged Tintin

let me explain myself further more:

Blueberry:good comics=>kinda good movie,well at least moebius loved it, but is a strange case

Asterix:good comics=> utter shit movies except for mission cléopatre

Iznogood:kinda good kiddie comic books=> fucking hell is shit or worse?

Lucky Luke:good comics=> what the ...

The smurfs:damn good kid comic books=> the hell is this kind of shit?

Marsupilami:good comic books(Franquin is one of the best)=> same director as mission cleopatre but fail to do a good movie, shame it's a stinky

Largo Winch:Van Hamme magnus opus=>yeah well give it to shitty director and he will dump you a shitty movie

Les extraordinaires aventure d'adèle blanc sec:Tardi goofiest works and damn good for that=> Besson, do I need to say more?

Michel Vaillant:you like formula 1?=> snooze fest with Archive OST

Immortel(ad vitam):Nikopol trilogy is beautiful for sure=> but as good as you are as a drawing artist doesn't mean you're a good director Bilal can fuck himself with his pencils for all I care
Snowpiercer:good comic books=>kinda fine movie, but a korean one, funny isn't it?

Quay d'Orsay:good comic books=> at last a good movie which respects either the comic books and the viewers

Gaston Lagaffe: Franquin again and arguably his best work as comic books=> cannot watch this, too much shit in the eyes captain.

Spirou:Franquin,Tome & Janry and a lot more artists who made it quite unforgettable=> what have we done to God to deserve this kind of punishment, may he has mercy on our soul.

I stop here, I don't live in toilet bowl and I'm already overwhelmed by too much shit.But you get it, every French/belgian comics adaptation to live movie have been a failure except for a handful of kino gems.

Blueberry may be a good movie, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the comics except the name.
Into the trash it goes.

>muslims portrayed in a positive light
The world needs this as much as it needs a female James Bond.

lol no, the Arab guy is just a servant, the heroes are 100% British, they drink tea and all.

Even Blueberry is a real 'love it or hate it'' movie on that list. It differs quite a lot from the usual Blueberry comics, which are undoubtedly western comickino come to think about it. Blueberry: The Movie is super-fucking trippy compared to grounded the comics usually are.

Let's be honest: pic related would have been a perfect Corto Maltese, right?

Definitely. It has just the right length for it, and it gives a good look how Blueberry's psyche was directly after the Civil War (Prequel series) ended.

It doesn't really matter, if the story is good it can make a good movie.

Start with the Greeks, by which we mean Tintin

If you want tits try Manara, the Van Hamme works if you also like a plot, or METAL HURLANT

It was Bourne before Bourne. The series was too long though, they just milked the character at some point.

I didn't like it myself. It felt like a clumsily written and rather unoriginal spy thriller to me, but a lot of other people seem to like it.
It's been a while since I tried to read it though.

Some brave soul with deep pockets should turn Morbus Gravis into a movie.

Thorgal would be way too trippy and I don't think they would do it justice as it would take a shotload of time to properly establish the batshit insane Norse gods meets sci-fi meets Roman empire meets vikings mashup it is. It took like 10 comics before we fully got the whole context of Thorgal's alien roots, cramming all that stuff into a movie wouldn't work

Have a good one

I used to read this when I was 10, I remember fragments but it's like a surreal dream to me now. I'm not even sure if Thorgal makes actual sense overall.

This trilogy my man. A fucking masterpiece. And in itself it's proper kino material.

Pic related, though

Attached: Couv_126642.jpg (650x912, 213K)

Yeah that too

What's so cool about Thorgal is that they take the time to establish this totally balls-to-the-wall insane setting. Comic 1 seems to be not-Conan at the start of it but already leaves the reader with some 'what the hell is this phenomenon'-questions that are not really answered. It then takes some more super natural themes in the immediate following volumes (the Beyond The Shadows-arc is truly kino dark magic mystical shit) only to return to the starting point of the series. I think that collection of short stories released after that arc already explains a bit more of the background story but it doesn't show everything fully yet.Then everything looks mundane and you enter the Qâ-storyline and everything starts to make sense and you get this batshit grandiose spectacle with so many wtf-moments and throwbacks to earlier volumes my God. The comics after that arc are still varying from really good to ok (though the ones right before the barbarian are a bit meh) but never reached those Qâ-heights again, that whole arc is some of the best comic-storylines ever

Anyone read Jeremiah? The movies they could make with this shit...

I think French comics will be the next big thing once US comics are drained. Americans will adore the exotism of that shit.

What's this French comic where a blonde bearded man lives in a post-apocalyptic America? That character looks like Robert Redford.

It does, but as I said earlier
I think it just takes wayyy too much time to properly establish the 'epic' scale of the Thorgal setting. If you would put too much of it in one film already it would lose much of its enigmatic nature, the first comics you are just trying to figure out the world and you are basically spoon-fed in each volume. That whole aspect will be blown to sheds in a movie

Why not make 1 movie per book, then?

Yeah he looks like Jeremiah Johnson, but you got yourself your movie already, it's mad max.

Of course it makes sense!

You don't have the rabbid fanbase like harry potter, and who the fuck knows Thorgal except in France,Switzterland and Belgium, that's too small to make some kind of epic movie series.

It would be too costly. A proper Thorgal movie would require an enormous budget to do the environments and scenery justice, and if you do one movie per comic it would take way too long to convince the average movie crowd that they are not watching Conan. The would be forced to kill the subtlety

>Plot : Racial wars have torn the U.S. apart, resulting in a post-apocalyptic world.
I can't fucking wait for the massive REEEE

Nah, nigga, it's another comic entirely. I remember very little of it.

I remember seeing my first naked women in Thorgal. Specifically that book where some ugly wizard "becomes" Thorgal and rapes his wife and stuff. That messed with me.

If Hollywood did it, it'd work everywhere.

He's big in the Netherlands as well (so I'd almost every big franco-belgian thanks to based Flanders and its comic tradition) and I think in eastern Europe, still not enough of an audience tho

That's fucking impressive how images from decades ago struck my mind this hard that I still remember details decades later.

My father had tons of comics, and I could read all of them, including this horrible sci-fi book where they reenact Auschwitz and medieval torture and there's nudity and absolute fucking gore. I was reading this when I was 10. Dad was a moron.

I think that's it, yes.

I remember another where there's some kind of mighty glove involved, turns out it's advanced tech from space.

You do skip a shotload of paranormal episodes such as Thorgal literally confronting DEATH but otherwise good summary

The Tintin movie is top kino.

>shotload

It's in several stories, it starts here.

The Sun Sword has it as its central theme but it also appears in the Qâ-books I guess
