Literally was hoping to come in here and get some more information.
From what I’ve read, it’s a reimagining of the original comic. Its not supposed to be a sequel, yet I see older versions of characters from the original comic and don’t see any characters that’s died in the comic so who knows what’s going on. One thing has been said is that is has no connection at all with the Snyder movie.
Reimagining Alan Moore is brave!
Damon Lindelof. The man who gave us Prometheus, Star Trek into darkness and world war z. Or to put it another way, the guy who built up humanities creators and then had them say not a single word, the guy who thought he could reimagine khan and make it better and the guy who thought he could make world war z better.
If you look at the glass half-full his most recent work was The Leftovers which was pretty great but he did have an Academy nominated screenwriter with him on that.
He did Lost.
The source material in itself was pretty divisive going to give it a go and see how it is.
The movie is pretty good so it wouldn't hurt to watch it but I don't think there is a big connection between the movie and the TV show other then the fact that 2 or 3 of the movie characters appear in the show and that it's happening in the same universe. At least that's what if gathered from reading about the show. So although it's not a must to enjoy the TV show, it will be good to know the characters and the general theme of the show
Read the comic, it’s worth it. The film is average.
Thanks guys, it's on Sky One tonight @ 22:00 so i'll probably watch it, and as for comics don't think i've read one since religiously reading the Beano and Dandy in the early 70's
I felt the version released in cinemas was not bad and was a pretty decent adaptation of a book that had the reputation of being impossible to adapt. Then the extended version, which had about 30 extra minutes (and mainly just went a bit further in terms of character development + one very good scene) was actually very good.
