| Gemma Arterton as the titular Tamara Drewe. |
In the final installment of our three-part series of "Films YOU Didn't Know Were Based on Comics" we tackle Stephen Frears' 2010 adaptation of Posy Simmonds' graphic novel TAMARA DREWE. Though it is a change of pace from the tights and flights usually associated with comic books on film, we hope that you'll enjoy this non-genre diversion. If you really need that genre fix, though, we've got you covered! 24 Panels' contributor Jeremy Woodcock (you can find more of his work at http://alcovewriting.com/) gives us his hilarious two cents on PREIST, which may or may not be in theatres now (it was last time I checked, but who knows; I'm sure it'll be on DVD any minute now).
Next time: Dru and David share the comic books THEY want to see adapted into films. Send us a short MP3 (1-2 minutes) telling us what comics YOU want to see adapted, and we'll include it in the next episode!
