NEWS: Mark Millar Talks 'Secret Service' and 'Nemesis' Movie Adaptation Updates!

With Mark Millar's Kick-Ass having hit the screen, different studios have been eager with Millar's other titles to adapt into film. Two of the recent is Nemesis and The Secret Service, the former is about a violent villain sweeping the lives of Asian policeman across Asia, the latter being an espionage. Miller posts an update in Millaworld about the screen adaptations.

"Shot straight from a wedding in Manchester last week to the City of Angels and plunged straight into some studio biz on the Nemesis movie. Mighty Joe Carnahan is directing (from a script by he and his brother Matthew), but this much you already know. Fox wanted us to get in the same room for the first time and really hash this out, which was exciting. Joe has a really brilliant take on this and Matt and he are going to take things from here so I'm really happy. Absolutely no casting has been done formally although you can google the MTV interview from last January where he and Sir Liam Neeson are chatting about it. More news as it happens."

"Matthew Vaughn and I conceived The Secret Service a year or two back and plan to make into a movie once he's wrapped the First Class sequel next year. Our inner-geeks are buzzing about the idea of seeing Mark (Hamill) play himself on the Lucas stage if that's where we end up filming, but this lunch was nothing official and just a thank you for Mark letting us kill him off [in the opening pages of The Secret Service #1]. It'll be eighteen months at least before we get into a Secret Service movie since X-Men 2 is such a huge commitment for Matthew."
