The success of Stomp the Yard in 2007 might have heralded several things, but few would have predicted that its director, Sylvain White, would suddenly become a familiar name to the fanboy community. Then again, White is a major fanboy himself, and he’s used his heat to attach himself to a number of cult properties, including an adaptation of the Frank Miller graphic novel Ronin and a film version of the classic video game franchise Castlevania (which he’s since departed). The release today of White’s The Losers (adapted from a DC Comics comic book series) may be the first example of his fannish tendencies made manifest, but if he has his way, it’ll hardly be the last. I talked to White today about how he weathers the scrutiny of superfans, and what he’s got in mind for Ronin , his remake of the French film Le Magnifique , and several other properties.
