Another quick thought

I haven't seen the film yet - maybe I'll get a chance to catch it next week sometime - but seeing a trailer for Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow - sparked a thought. I think it was the sight of several Union Jack-decorated airships floating across the sky that gave me the idea, but I'm wondering if some bright spark in Hollywood (there has to be one somewhere) has realised that this is the perfect film-making technology for bring some of the more outlandish comic concepts to the screen.

And why the airships? Well, it reminded me of a scene from one of the best series of recent years that featured giant flying craft from an alternate Britain as well as seventeen mile tall spaceship ripping through an island, thousands of force-cloned supervillains laying waste to cities, and was described as a 'wide-screen comic' (by its creator, I believe).

The Authority. Coming to a cinema near you. Well, I can dream, though Global Frequency appears to be coming to TV next year.
