| Hard-edged comics guru Frank Miller is hot in Hollywood. Now for the graphic details.
By Geoff Boucher, April 29, 2007 FRANK MILLER, his pale hands wrapped around a cane and the smoke from his cigarette swirling beneath the brim of his Homburg, sat at the poolside bar at the W Hotel in Westwood and watched the swimsuits saunter by. "I’m married to New York," he said between sips of a fizzy Red Bull cocktail. "But there’s something to be said about Los Angeles too." Miller arrived at the W a month and a half ago with a one-week reservation, but the L.A. fling is still going and he’s still living out of a suitcase filled with black clothes. The reason is that Miller, the most important comic book artist of the last 25 years, is enjoying his moment in the Hollywood sun. |

There was, of course, the record-breaking March box office of "300," a lovingly faithful adaptation of Miller’s bloody 1998 graphic novel, but there’s also the two sequels to "Sin City" now in the pipeline and the Batman project now being filmed in London that borrows its title from Miller’s 1986 masterpiece, "The Dark Knight Returns." "They finally got the title right," Miller said with a pretend sneer. "I was wondering when that would happen." Check out rest of the story here –>Link |
