IDW, Mosfilm and Russ Intellectual Properties announce NEVSKY: THE GRAPHIC NOVEL
A timeless story of the battle for freedom through patriotism is retold in a vibrant new form Summer 2012 with NEVSKY, an original graphic novel adaptation of Sergei Eisenstein's classic film "Alexander Nevsky" (1938). Written by Ben McCool (MEMOIR and PIGS) with art by rising star Mario Guevara (SOLOMAN KANE and VICTORIAN UNDEAD) and edited by Scott Dunbier, this full-length graphic novel is a stunning re-imagination of Eisenstein's famed film. link |

Yes, you can't beat the story line. I foretell a NEW movie in the works. If "300" can be rendered on the blue screen, so can "Nevsky". It's a horrible thought, but somebody had to say it first…. |

Yeah, but if it was done right, it could really rock! |

It will be great if they are just going to cover the story of Nevsky. But if it's some propaganda piece it's not going to be good. The real tell for me is the title "A Hero Of The People" gives me pause. I see, yes it's based on the 1938 movie which was a propaganda film. They should just use history to tell the story and not film makers version of history. |

The man could sure make movies. There are scenes in this movie and Battleship Potemkin that stir something primeval in your guts. The steps and the baby carriage , the knights charging, the maggots in the meat and the reaction of the sailors. The man did more with silence and a musical score then most modern directors can do with explosions and dumb conversations. |
