'Nimona's Creator ND Stevenson on Which Scene Takes His Breath Away
After years in development, the adaptation of ND Stevenson's graphic novel Nimona is finally about to release on Netflix. The story follows a young shapeshifter named Nimona , who befriends the begrudging ex-knight Ballister Blackheart and becomes his sidekick. Outcasts from society, the pair of them work together to prove Blackheart's innocence after he was accused of murdering the queen, and in the process come to learn more about themselves and each other.
N.D. STEVENSON: It's such a leap of faith, I think, to kind of let a story go and let it go and be what it has to be. From the start, I was like, “I have told my story. The graphic novel exists. That is that version of the story; now it's gonna go and be whatever it's gonna be.” But it is scary.
So, I think one thing that Nick and Troy did that was really, really smart was just always bring it back to its most simple version and always make it about the emotion of the characters and their relationships to each other.
So, I think seeing that represented, of her letting that monster out after a lifetime of being told she's a monster, I am just so glad that that made it to the screen and that they did such a beautiful job with it and found so much emotion in that. It's definitely it– I always hear the sniffles in the audience at that point, and sometimes more than sniffles. It's so emotional, and it just blows my mind to see it represented like that on the screen.
