Director Timur Bekmambetov talked to MTV about the mean-spirited movie adaptation. “We will create a world, and then we will destroy this world,” Bekmambetov said. “The hero will discover the whole world. It looks ordinary, but it’s not. It’s an industrial world filled with weaving machines, lots of traps, lot of looms flying back and forth and predicting the future. The looms weave these fabrics, and the fabrics have a pattern, like a binary code, that has information. The weavers can read the fabric — they see the structure of it and they can read its messages. Then they know who has to be killed to keep the balance of the world.”

Creator Mark Millar made a post on his message boards about what would be different from printed page to silver screen. “Anything in a superhero costume (besides Wesley and Fox’s leathers) is gone,” Millar wrote. “But everything else is the same. First half of the movie is very close to the first half of the graphic novel and the ending is similar, though shifted to elsewhere. Fates [sic] stuff is obviously new and works better in a movie than Marvel/DC in-jokes so I’m fine with it. Looks bloody great and that’s the main thing. And the words ‘f*** you’ have never been used on camera more beautifully than a scene somewhere around page eighteen.”
