It’s one of my favourite comic books EVER :D

Excerpts from the announcement, because Tommy is too good to remain unquoted: 

“It is so American, driving cars,” Wiseau said. “Everybody has one, but not everybody, and the everybody who don’t have them wants them. It is perfect picture of America, men in cars facing life and talking about women. I drive car. I do so much thinking in the car, it is safe space for thinking, and it is perfect reflection of real life. So I want to make that movie.”

Wiseau seemed unsure of whether he still owns that Mercedes or if it would be the film’s title vehicle.

“Yeah I only drive, you know, from time to time. Traffic is so heavy in San Francisco, and I don’t drive if I don’t have to. I like to walk, you know, I like to stay in shape.” Wiseau stopped at this point to roll up the sleeve of his two-sizes-too-large button-up shirt and flex his translucent biceps to the cheers of audience members, bobbling and nearly dropping the microphone in the process. “So no I don’t drive all the time, but cars are important in America. So I make The Car. Okay, move on, next one.” 

It is not impossible that the Alcatraz project is merely a codename for The Car, much in the same way that Blue Harvestoperated as the working title for Return of the Jedi. In The Disaster Artist, Sestero sheds light on a proposed scene where “Johnny’s Mercedes-Benz would lift off from the roof of the townhouse and fly across the San Francisco skyline, revealing Johnny’s vampiric nature.” The scene failed to materialize when Wiseau realized his budgetary restrictions prohibited such a scene from occurring, but the question of that sequence and vampire sub-plot becoming a reality inThe Car was raised almost immediately by one intrepid film-goer dressed up as Peter the Psychologist.

“That was just fantasy, not real. The flying car was just joke, like an April Fool, you know. [Sestero] made incorrect statement about that. It is a half-truth, not all truth. But yes, I would like to do that scene if I can, because I like to imagine life as vampire. I think vampire can do good, not just drinking blood. And vampire, you know, they drive cars too because they are like us, only not like us because they are vampires, and if they drive, I think their cars would fly. Good question.”

Asked about which original characters and/or actors would return, the tenor of the evening turned serious, if only for a moment.
