Last night when I was watching CSI reruns on SpikeTV they were showing clips of interviews with some of the actors, directors and Frank Miller, and then a brief thing on how it was made (which I recorded because I was falling asleep).

Rodriguez basically said his idea was not to turn a graphic novel into a movie, but to turn cinema into a graphic novel.

The actors also talked about how detailed he was about getting everything to look like every frame of the original.
