Interesting (if superficial and somewhat late) article regarding how the movies are looking in on graphic novels (and comic books) for inspiration...
http://www.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/02/08/graphic.novels.mainstream/index.html?hpt=SbinI say somewhat late with regard to the article because it seems graphic novels/comic books have been a big source of movie inspiration for several years now. Maybe its harder to ignore that reality, but the fact is that at least for the past ten years or so there seems to be plenty of examples, both good, bad, and very ugly, of movies based on comic books.
Ah well, maybe one day my graphic novel will make that leap...
