The Big Adaptors

June 18, 2011 by Steven Savage

So, HBO, flush from well-deserved success with their adaption of 'Game of Thrones' is looking at the difficult-sounding task of adapting Neil Gaiman's 'American Gods' into a six season series.

Showtime has it's epic series, of course, as you know from hearing any reviews.

It seems the movie/premium channels are getting awful ambitious, from 'Spartacus' to 'The Walking Dead' and more. Very ambitious. Curiously ambitious.

I want to speculate that they may be onto something, and that movie channels may be uniquely positioned to become The Big Adaptors. Their future may well be adapting works to films/television.

Someone asked me why I didn't cover the end of Smallville at Fan To Pro. Smallville, after all was a decade-long television show based on comic book icon Superman, and probably sounds like something worth covering. That was a great question, and frankly, I felt it deserved it's own post.

I Have a Job, They Don’t: Fansourcing

May 1, 2011 by Steven Savage

You know those friends and fellow fans that are incredibly talented but don't have work? Yeah, I thought so. You wonder what you can do for them when they are so talented, so gifted, yet are looking for work. It's easy to wonder since they're so good at what they do, you're left wondering what you can do.

What you can do is give these talented people a chance to use their talent for you – and thus give them a chance to earn money, build skills, and gain another reference (that's you here).
