THEY SHOOT COMICS DON'T THEY A Panel Discussion About Turning Graphic Novels into Films At the Century Club - Soho W1 Wednesday the 22nd March 2023 Doors at 6:30 pm, talk begins at 7 pm The artist Salvador Dali believed that “comics will be the culture of the year 3794”. In fact, this tongue in cheek prediction appears to have come true rather quicker than the great surrealist predicted, especially in the world of cinema. Four of the top ten highest grossing films of all time started their lives as comics showing that graphic novels have crossed the borders of fringe pop culture into the domain of Hollywood’s leading genre. Join us at the Century for a panel discussion with some of London’s top producers discussing their experience in adapting comics to screen. After the talks, there will be an opportunity to meet the panel informally for a drink.
