In other words, if you haven’t read Strangers in Paradise, get your butt over to your FLCS, or Amazon, of the Abstract Studios website and check it out! Okay… Back to the news!
Yesterday, The Hollywood Reporter broke the story Moore and writer-director Angela Robinson have joined forces to bring Strangers in Paradise to the big screen. Outside of the collaboration reveal there aren’t any other concrete detail about Robinson seems like a good choice since she’s already tackled a “love triangle” tale in her upcoming Professor Marston and the Wonder Women. That film is based on the Wonder Woman creator’s, shall we say, less than conventional living arrangements as well as the conceptional origins of the world famous heroine. Professor Marston and the Wonder Women hits theaters October 13th.
I will say I’m a touch surprised Strangers in Paradise is being adapted for film as opposed to television. The length of the award-winning comic (the main story spanned ninety issues) would be a perfect fit for an ongoing series at a cable network aiming to get more skin in the original content game, ala Starz or Epix as examples. Still, I have no complaints if an SiP movie gets made as I’d certainly welcome the comic, and its creator, receiving plenty more well deserved recognition.
