Tim Burton's commentary for Batman Returns So these movies you are throwing a lot into the mix, into one thing." I mean one comic will focus on the creation of Catwoman, or the creation of Penguin. ".showing the creation of these characters, that takes up time That's the great thing about comics. It should also offer some insight into the evolution of the Pre-Crisis Catwoman for those not familiar with that era of the comics. Hopefully this will illustrate how the movie version of Catwoman relates to the source material. This is pretty extensive, so I've broken it up into several subsections to make it easier to read.

Its plot captures the furtive thrills, frissons and torments of first love between two young American men, whose romance unfolds amid the Italian Riviera’s soft, muscular hills and sun-pummelled cobbles. When Call Me By Your Name came out in 2007, it earned its author comparisons to Proust and a spot on the New York Times bestseller list. Now, Aciman has finally written a sequel, and he’s aware of the expectation. “I think I’m probably one of the very few writers who doesn’t feel cheated by an adaptation of their work. “I adored the film,” Aciman tells me down the phone from his home in New York.

When a film becomes more famous than the book it’s based on, you can understand why the author might feel aggrieved. |
