Who would you rather see RUIN "WA"- Hollywood or TV?

Sooner or later some cigar-smoking 'suit' is gonna take notice and offer We're Alive's creators the truckload of money they deserve to sell out. Which means some committee of no-talent Hollywood 'suits' will make either a Movie, TV series, or perhaps miniseries out of WA, changing everything for the worse.

So which way would you prefer to see We're Alive ruined?

1) Hollywood Movie- you know the formula: CGI explosions, car chases, 'trendy' soundtrack, actors who absolutely DO NOT fit their roles (and care even less) etc

2) ABC TV Series- they'll change it but they'll get it right. ABC's "We're Alive" will be quite different from the audio drama, but no matter- it will be a masterpiece of macabre suspense..."Long-form Television" at its finest...

.....that will be cancelled after 6-8 episodes for not appealing to 'a wider demographic'. (Sorry, I'm still sore about them cancelling "Kolchak: the Night Stalker" TWICE in my lifetime)

3) Sci-Fi TV series- oh pardon me it's called "SYFY" now... Zero budget, occasional cheap CGI, cast of unknowns/has-beens pouring their hearts into a script written on a dinner napkin....featuring the Cylon dude from Quantum Leap....

i'd prefer the tv series on ABC. main reason is because it isn't FOX, fox loves to cancel Shows prematurely. and if it does get canceled, i'm sure TNT would pick it up. They Do Drama, or so they tell us.
i think if anything, Cable is the way to go with WA.

Uh, how about just having the rest of America wake the hell up and recognize audio drama as an art form that doesn't need to be 'upgraded.'

ABC would be the way to go...the biggest issue would be making past 6-8 episode mark, which really....shouldnt be difficult if we think back to the first 8 chapters of the story...major networks have been looking for a lost-esque program since it spiraled off the airwwaves. A few have come close, only to be pulled due to sporatic ratings...the main thing going against this working is the walking dead copy cat angle...you know their would be many critics claiming that..without looking into the background..

best of luck changing an entire culture. If you want to move forward with your product, sometimes you have to make the jump. Would w/a really be a good fit for film/tv?...probly not. But, if live action sells...couldn't blame KC for doing it, if given the option

i always imagined it would be remade for TV in the form of an adult cartoon/animation style film using the same actors to do the voice overs

We could just wait it out until a decent deal comes along (if one doesn't, it doesn't, WA is still amazing and that's why we love it), which might I add as been KC's plan for a while now.

No way would it ever end up being a movie. you could not tell the story in 90minutes, if you tried you have to strip it down and it would be just be another Zombie movie. I take it back, for a cheap number a studio might buy the rights for story(and the following it already has). The movie would not resemble the WA we know in any way shape or form other than the name, a few characters names and Zombies

Id really like to see it as a tv show! i know everyone says that it might "Ruin" the show but think of who would be writing it! our very own Kc! im sure he would want complete creative control no matter what! and im sure he wouldn't take the deal unless he had that, you know? I mean come on guys, its our Kc we are talking about here
