Mark Miller Says Nemesis "is going to be one of the best movies of the decade."

At the Miller World forums, comic creator Mark Miller made a big announcement regarding a new movie based on another one of his creations, Nemesis "is going to be one of the best movies of the decade."

Big words Mr. Miller, but so far he does have a good track with movies based on his works, like Wanted and both Kick-Ass’.

Nemesis is a comic series and the feature adaptation will be helmed by Joe Carnahan, who is at this point co-writing the script with his brother.

"Nemesis is one of the most relentless and powerful screenplays I've ever read. I was actually SHELL-SHOCKED after reading it, thinking about it for hours afterwards and discussing it with the family. As a movie, the Carnahans have crafted something we've never actually seen before and I feel like someone in Julia Phillips' office must have felt when Schrader's TAXI DRIVER script first landed on their desk. This is going to be one of the best movies of the decade. The fact that it's a SUPERHERO movie is incredibly exciting to me. This is the next step for where a comic-book adaptation can go and, simply as a viewer, I'm now counting down the days until I can sit in a screening room and see the first cut. This is going to be MASSIVE."

"This is huge, operatic, tragic, monumental. This is about America right now and the world the audience is walking back into the second they leave the cinema. Nemesis is about America's worst nightmare in the form of a costumed billionaire attacking a city and doing everything he can to tear it down. The high concept, it's been said, is if Batman was The Joker and that's quite a fun way of looking at it. The cop who goes up against him, the Blake Morrow character in the book, is going to be a movie icon after this picture. I don't know who's going to be playing him at this stage, but I know that after reading the script everyone is going to WANT to."
