Yeah, so apparently Dark Horse wants to make TUA a movie.

My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way's first six-issue comic book series, The Umbrella Academy, could become a movie. According to IESB.net, Dark Horse Entertainment chief Mike Richardson, whose company published The Umbrella Academy, said in an interview that he hoped to get an Umbrella Academy movie set up soon through Dark Horse's new filmmaking partnership with Universal Studios.

Here's the whole thing.

I'd actually kinda like to see it as a movie...

Gah, there better not be a thousand sequels like the spider-man series. D: Most of the comic book movies have been terrible, yeah. Hopefully it matches my standards... probably won't. They better not ruin it. D:

Watching V For Vendetta restored hope for me.

Anyways, FUCK YEAH! That would be awesome if a movie was made.

That's really weird, because G had said that although it was an interesting idea and that he would consider it someday, it was too soon still, and Series II isn't even out yet. Are there any other sources besides that one? The tone of the article implied that G is not involved in the negotations, as well.

It might be cool, but umm, I don't know what Gerard would win for an award like everyone is saying.

I mean, unless he writes the screenplay or something...
