'Nimona' Directors Nick Bruno and Troy Quane on Adapting the Graphic Novel
It took a long time for Netflix's Nimona to see the light of day after the film changed studio hands and got stuck in limbo. But at long last, the film is set to premiere on the streamer and bring the moving story of the shapeshifting Nimona and the struggling ex-knight Ballister Blackheart to audiences everywhere. But of course, there is no adaptation of ND Stevenson's graphic novel without talented directors to oversee it all.
TROY QUANE: The simple answer is Nimona herself. It was that character. It was really stepping back and getting to see how– It was amazing, she's this confident, unapologetic, in-your-face, punk rock sort of strong female lead, which you don't get a chance to see a lot.
Were there moments or elements in the story that you kind of really pushed to see added? It does follow the graphic novel fairly closely, but there are story differences and character differences, so were there beats or elements that you wanted to see added that maybe weren't in the graphic novel?BRUNO: In particular, the relationship between Ballister and Goldenloin.
BRUNO: I'll say more of what we were trying to understand is the sort of Venn diagram between what ND [Stevenson] was creating when he was creating it, how the world received it, and what we wanted to do next with it to continue to tell that story. Because there's always what the author is intending, what the connection is, and there was the magic recipe for us to go forward.
