Comica Festival’s anniversary season of events at London’s Century Club continued last night with They Shoot Comics Don’t They – a panel where Ivanka Hahnenberger invited producers from film and TV to discuss how they adapted comics properties to the big and small screen. Representatives on hand included Armando Iannucci (The Death of Stalin), Michael Lake (Violent Cases), Tim Searle (Dennis & Gnasher) and Patrick Walters (Heartstopper). The audience was a mix of people from both the TV/film and comics space.
Lake mentioned that he was behind the decision for Titan to publish the book in 1991 and that connection with Gaiman and McKean made getting the film rights possible. Violent Cases has a screenplay written by Mike Carey, will star Ben Kingsley, and production is well under way.
Next week the final two events take place: Dave McKean and Iain Sinclair discuss AI in…But Is It Art? (Sold Out) and political cartoonist Martin Rowson makes a prime ministerial mess as he takes the audience through his 40 year career in...Giving Offence.
Mike Lake is no stranger to comic book lovers like me. Not only is he famous in the UK, but he is also very popular in the US.
