Frank Miller (writer of the
Batman: Year One comic series and upcoming film script) recently told EON MAGAZINE's Mothership <http://www.mothership.com>, about his writing of the upcoming YEAR ONE movie.  Miller said the following:

"Darren [Aronofsky] and I had a lot of fun working together on the RONIN movie project," Miller said.  We make a good team, I think... Darren in particular wanted me to make YEAR ONE."

"I expect to to have a lot of fun with YEAR ONE," he said.  "From the get go, I see manyb things that need changing -- but ultimately even if the movie gets made, mine will only be one of many voices calling the shots.  I'll bring my very best efforts to the script.  I won't write a single line I don't believe in."

Miller also said, "The movie business is wild.  There's so much money involved, and so many people, that anything can happen.  Maybe Darren and I will set the world on fire.  Maybe our script will wind up sitting next to all the other could-have-beens that litter the shelves of studio execs.  I'm certain we can do a good job -- but anybody who isn't financing his own movie himself is foolish to predict his fate -- or his involvement in it.
