Vlad asked Alan Moore:

If you were to adapt one (and one only) of your books into a movie, which would it be?

Alan Moore As I’ve tried to explain for getting on this past decade, my problem with the film adaptations of my work is a problem with adaptations in general. The only point in transferring something to a medium for which it was not intended is to make more money, usually at the expense of the integrity of the work in question, and that really isn’t how I’m motivated, or how I work. We have already explained to eager film interests that there will never be a film adaptation of Jerusalem. Indeed, my only film work (other than always-delightful inclusions in the work of people like Andrew Kötting) is likely to be my work on Jimmy’s End/ The Show, something which has been written to be realised as a piece of cinema, exploiting those things that only cinema can do. And for what it’s worth, I’m as determined that The Show should not be adapted as a comic book or novelisation as I am about the attempts to adapt my written works to film. I’m at least consistent in my surly and unreasonable attitudes.
