I heard somewher that there was going to be a "Johnny The Homicidal Maniac" claymation movie made by the creator of "The nightmare before christmas" Berton??? Based off of the indie comic. anyone else heard this
I haven't heard that, but chances are they were talking about Henry Selick-- who directed Nightmare, as well as James & The Giant Peach-- rather than Tim Burton-- who simply wrote the story and designed all the characters and sets.
I heard that tim was going to make charactures for it since they were verry similar to the ones in "nihtmare before christmas" the director i have no idea
I don't really think that Tim Burton would be right for a J:THM movie. He's got a rather strong personality in movies, and it would warp the original too far from what it would otherwise be.
A claymation like NIGHTMARE would be interesting, but I'm curious if they could capture the kinetic hyper-violence of the comic.
Does anybody know the extent of Jhonen Vasquez's involvement with the "Invader Zim" series on Nickelodeon? If it's pretty extensive, then a Henry Selick/Vasquez collaboration could be extremely interesting.
now that i have s**t my pants....
(i am VERY happy to hear this talk about a JTHM movie...)
and i am a BIG Vasquez fan.

Yes Jhonen has ALOT to do with the Invader Zim cartoon
it's actually a collaberation (sp?) of Jhonen Vasquez and Roman Dirge (who write's the Lenore comic series)
you can go to http://www.slavelabor.com
this is the label that features both of these artists and thier work
good stuff!!
bad stuff though: Nickelodean has cancelled Invader Zim (duh! i was shocked they carried it in the first place) but check out this really cool website if you are a fan of the show, it gives a breakdown of all the episodes (even the unaired ones)
an EXCELLENT source
