Exciting news about Terry Moore's Echo!

An acquaintance of mine who went to Comic Con 2009 (and is a big Terry Moore fan) just let me in on some exciting news. She went to Terry Moore's panel and heard The Man himself announce that Echo (Moore's current series) is going to be made into a movie! Here's the announcement from Moore's own blog:

I'm a little surprised that Echo is getting the big screen treatment since the comic's story isn't done yet. So I'm assuming it'll get off the ground once the series is done. According to Moore's blog, the movie will be handled by the same producer that did Hellboy and Watchmen. I loved Hellboy; but I've heard...not-so-nice things about the Watchmen movie. Hopefully Moore will retain enough creative control to prevent some dumb executive from butchering Echo's story.

The blog entry also says he hopes to turn Strangers in Paradise into a TV series (preferably on HBO). I'm VERY suprised that he's so eager to work for HBO since, last time he tried working with them, they wanted to turn the series into an animated violent-porn show à la the Spawn cartoon and strip him of creative control!

Either way, this is exciting news! I really wish I could have been at that panel!
