(Originally published as a four-issue miniseries.) I liked it quite a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Just now, I happened across a trailer for a <a href=\"http:\/\/whiteoutmovie.com\/\">movie adaptation<\/a> of the comic, due out in theatres this coming Friday, with Kate Beckinsale in the lead role.<\/p>\n<p>I confess that the trailer made me a little dubious. The comic was, iIrc, a thriller, set essentially in the real world. The preview makes the movie look like a horror movie, and possibly a supernatural horror movie.<\/p>\n<p>But I think that's just a misleading trailer (or else I'm misinterpreting it), because a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shocktillyoudrop.com\/news\/comicconnews.php?id=898\">posting<\/a> from a couple of years ago quotes Rucka as saying, at Comic-Con '07:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I'm stunned, they've taken the best we've created and have turned it into a movie. There are things we would've loved to have done on the comic book page, that we couldn't do.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And from what I remember of the comic, Beckinsale seems like good casting. So I'm cautiously optimistic.<\/p>\n<p>That makes something like five or six movies that I want to see that are currently in theatres. I better go see some of them before they disappear.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ten years ago, Oni Press published a graphic novel called Whiteout, written by Greg Rucka and drawn by Steve Lieber&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[80,44],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12372","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-comics","category-movies"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12372","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12372"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12372\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12372"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12372"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
