Di questo progetto si parla da più di un anno.
Jonny era designato come protagonista, il Generale Cleburne, in tutti i link, e lo è ancora.
Ora pare che il film cominci a diventare una realtà. Però io sinceramente ho qualche dubbio per Jonthan come protagonista, a causa dello scandalo all'aeroporto di NY.... vedrete leggendo la trama......
A meno che Jonny non abbia un asso nella manica.
Ah, prima che mi dimentichi: il Generale Cleburne era nato in Irlanda .....a Cork
Combattè 2 guerre.... una con il nord e una con il sud he fought two wars...one with the north and one with the south.

CLEBURNE: THE GRAPHIC NOVEL
at myspace
www.myspace.com/omegaoffcenterAfter researching the American Civil War for twenty-years, author Justin Murphy had finally
decided which personality was waiting to be turned into a film.
"Of all the Civil War figures I've read about, Patrick Cleburne is one of the most fascinating
and definitely one of the most controversial. He was not only a great military leader, but
he was also an advocate for an oppressed people who risked his career and reputation for
his ideals.
His life has all the courage and tragedy of a Hollywood movie. I kept asking myself why
hasn't anyone written a story about this man? Then I realized I was the one who was
supposed to write it."
A two-year journey commenced, beginning with a screenplay and becoming a published
graphic novel in 2008. Murphy wrote and illustrated the book himself, all the while telling
the story as if it were a movie in still pictures. "I wanted to keep the dialogue to a minimum
and focus on moving the drama along visually. I was basically following the old rule of
showing instead of telling.
Though I enjoy the graphic novel medium, my goal has always been to see the story fully
realized as a motion picture. It's great to see the book being received so well, and I am
confident the film will reach a much broader audience. Cleburne has all the elements for
a great story; action, romance and controversy, the best part is that it is based in truth.
Fact really is stranger than fiction."
