Patton Oswald said it best.
"And no, the movie will not have EVERY LITTLE ELEMENT FROM THE GRAPHIC NOVEL. That's why the graphic novel exists -- you can go read it after you see the movie. Adaptation. Parallel visions. When you adapt a book, you cut things out, combine and conflate, streamline and linger.
L.A. CONFIDENTIAL stands as the best Ellroy adaptation to date, and it throws away massive chunks of the novel's narrative. THE BLACK DAHLIA slavishly sticks to its source material and it's almost un-watchable."
That's why not.
@kmccaskill: Cinderella meets Al Qaeda? No, just no.
You don't take what made the novel popular in the first place and ditch it. The way you make it sound they could of based LOTR in Ancient Rome and it would of been fine because its to "out there" to be adapted to " general audiences".
