MONSTER ATTACK NETWORK Is Not A Cable Channel!!

Merrick here...


Andy Fickman, director of the WATCHMEN-toppling RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN, is angling to direct an effects intensive adaptation of the MONSTER ATTACK NETWORK graphic novel for Disney.



The 2007 graphic novel focuses on a team of first-responders who guard the citizens of Lapuatu, a Pacific island that would be a paradise except for frequent attacks by giant monsters that rise from the sea. Marc Bernardin and Adam Freeman wrote the graphic novel, illustrated by Nima Sorat.


...says THIS ARTICLE in Variety.

You can find the graphic novel HERE.

    Hopefully it isn't the typical Disney retardation with Raven Simone and the High School Musical bitches in it.

    Never read it, but the synopsis sounds generic. Maybe with Kevin Bacon it could be something of interest. I dunno.

    It was okay. If they go full CGI it will be much better. Hopefully they can put some juice into the story, which was kinda flat in the book. Great concept, but, the art was confusing, and the characters were pretty thin. Looking forward to seeing how they adapt it.

    Nah - Watchmen was fuckin' great - but was never gonna cross over into the mainstream. Oh, and you're posting on an AICN talkback - if that doesn't make you a nerd, I don't want to know what does...

    by hugh g rekshun

    ...if it is shot with a hand-held camera from the perspective of a MONSTER ATTACK NETWORK operative. The shakier the better.
