Well, I had heard that Larry and Andy Wachowski had been involved with trying to make a V For Vendetta Movie adaptation and then news popped in that they have shown interest in this comic book adaptation as well.

Hard Boiled is a Dark Horse Comic by Frank Miller and Matrix designer/storyboard artist that tells the tale of Nixon a completely surreal story in which you are never certain if he is a robot or what. The script was extremely thin, and Miller basically just left Darrow to create massive scenes of intricate design that were packed with so mych detail and reference that the reader could spend hours looking at everything going on in each frame. All of it cool.

The news we have of a movie adaptation is that Randy Stradley, Dark Horse Comics is that Nicolas Cage has shown interest in making a movie. Then news filtered in that the Wachowski Brothers were involved too.

Then from the mouth of artist Geoff Darrow slipped out the news that there had definetely been discussion for a movie. He then let slip that the Wachowski Brothers were interested in it for themselves too.

Personally I think there is very little in Hard Boiled to make a movie out of. I seem to remember there only being about ten lines of dialogue in each episode, so there would have to be a huge amount of work done on the script, and how on earth any director could attempt to convert Darrow's artwork I have no idea.
