In an interview with IGN, New Gods movie co-writer, Tom King, revealed his inspiration behind comics and the upcoming movie.
“To me I feel like i’m witnessing two geniuses coming together. One of them is Jack Kirby, whose sort of the founding father of all comics,” King said. “His imagination not only props up all of pop culture now – we’ve sort of built our minds on what Jack Kirby has created.”
“And I’m combining that with Ava DuVerney, who I feel is the future of our culture. She’s the hottest director working now, one of the hottest writers. And those two minds mixing up to show us what the future of entertainment is and what we can do with a movie – and what we can do with a superhero movie, is the greatest challenge and greatest opportunity of my life,” King said.
