Indian mythology gets it's due

The Hindu mythological stories have always fascinated me. I loved "Mahabharatha" series from AmarChitraKatha. The stories are very rich in plots and messages.
But, we need to take the story telling to a different level to gain wider audience especially the west. This is important with respect to indian audience as well because the current (and the next generation) is very westernized and would ape whatever west does. (Just like Yoga got awareness only after getting its attention in the west)
In this context, indian comic book fans must welcome Ramayana 3392 AD from Virgin comics. Ramayana is always dull compared to Mahabharath but the comic version is simply too good. Many a times, I didn't know if it was Ramayana or Star Wars. A more detailed post on Ramayana comics later. This post is to share the news that Hollywood producer Mark Canton of "300" fame is going to make the movie based on the comic. The movie will be released in 2009. I can't wait to watch it.
