Where did Amy Winehouse get her look?

[newone66]

Angelina Jolie as Modesty

Daniel Craig as Willie

Sir Roger Moore as Tarrant

See, you Hollywood hacks! Just follow this story. It's not that difficult!

[123456788569]

Modesty Blaise is the most inspiring female female character of all time. The writer peter o'donnell has created a fantastic everlasting star - stories and comic images that I have been entertained by time and time again. She will live forever.

@123456788569 Thanks, I feel the same.

[andmarsim1]

We want Modesty movie!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[lynx218]

i nominate RHONA MITRA to play Modesty... she's british, and is edgy and hardcore.. and DANIEL CRAIG is rugged enough to be Willie...

[only1too]

@lynx218

you should be in casting! excellent picks for those two characters.

[dwynnell]

@lynx218 I agree, Rhona Mitra would make a great Modesty but I lean towards Jason Statham for Willie. Sadly (apart from the existing option with Mirrormax) there will be no Modesty Blaise film made.

[powerextreme83147]

If it remake the film, it should be produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, directed by John Woo, and should star Elizabeth Hurley and Jason Stratam. The movie could be edgy and hardcore.

Bravo!!! Thank you comicpencil

[denberg2]

Can anyone tell me exactly what the title of the book is here, and the publisher? I did send comic pencil an e mail but he didn't remember as he doesn't own the book anymore.

[dwynnell]

@denberg2 I think you can find this among the re-releases of the titan books graphic novels. If you're stuck you can try The MB Compendium by Laurie Blackmoore (a close personal friend of O'Donnell and family)

Charlize is great but when I see Modesty ,I see Jolie.Her big eyes,lips ,konfidence even her age is more apropriete for role.Maybe it is just me lol.I need to get life lol.For Gavon....I have a same problem.There is no too much guy's guy in Holywood.They are all sooo cute.blah.Maybe some unknown actor from Britain.Some real heterosexual guy lol.

[gummibroetchen]

zninbgky, did you read the books too? Or just the comics? I read all the books, which gave me sort of impression of Modesty which did not quite harmonize with the comic drawings. I pictured her more girl-like all of the time though at many occasions she appears as grande-dame. But had I seen the comics first, I would also say, that A. Jolie matches better.

It would all depend on how Jolie is able to personify all the many aspects of Modesty's personality.

[gummibroetchen]

just looked at Charlize once more, you are right, Jolie matches better.

But let's hope there will be Modesty films at all!

;-)

[gummibroetchen]

...and - additionally - let's hope they don't choose Jolie's husband for Willi Garwin. NEVER!!!!

[zninbgky]

Angelina Jolie would be perfect Modest Blaise

[gummibroetchen]

I'd prefer Charlize Theron, with black hair of course. Jolie looks fantastic, I agree, was rather a fan of her in the beginning but got tired of her thick lips.

But there might be some other promising young actresses not yet so famous.

I cannot think of a good Garvin. All those young actors look sort of too babyish, and the more manly looking ones are too old.

to tonkehar A backstory was told,not peter o´donnells,though it was quite good and close to it´s orgin

[24aaa]

modest blaise is one of the best comic strip series in the world ever. too bad it stopped.

[dwynnell]

@24aaa Titan books are currently reprinting every strip from 001 onwards in graphic novel form. The introductions up to and including a few flowers for the colonel have been penned by O'Donnell who sadly passed away last year (3rd May 2010)

[asil1]

I loved reading the comic strip. Modesty is the best.

[tonkehar]

All of Modesty Blaise back story and history is explained in the movie Quentin Tarantion who presented but did not directed The adventures of Modesty Blaise.

[Poltroon]

But it's a travesty of O'Donnell's original! Worse than the Joseph Losey version, which is at least great fun in its brainless way.

[tonkehar]

Thank You!!!!!!!!
