Alan Moore is widely lauded as one of the finest comic book and graphic novel writers of all-time, making it completely fitting that if there’s one thing he hates above all else, it’s Hollywood getting its hands on his work. The eccentric author has never been shy in speaking out on butchered adaptations of his work, with From Hell first out of the gate in 2001.

To the surprise of nobody, then, Moore wasn’t best pleased with the end product, lamenting the fact his illustrated protagonist (a role earmarked for Sean Connery during the early stages of development) had ended up in the hands of Johnny Depp, with the actor’s take on Frederick Abberline being denigrated as an “absinthe-swilling dandy” by the creator of the source material.
