A couple of SLG graphic novels have gone through this procedure that's pretty popular these days -- see, you take a comic book, right, and you replace the drawn people with real people and you film them doing the stuff that they do in the comic. I don't know if it's going to catch on, but it seems fun!
The first is
Street Angel by Jim Rugg and Brian Maruca, which has been made into a independent movie by Australian film makers Lucas Testro and Adam Bishop. The film adapts the comic's first issue. Here's a trailer:

The second is a short film based on the opening of
The Clarence Principle, made by the graphic novel's writer, Fehed Said. You can watch it and read the first 40 pages of the graphic novel, drawn by Shari Chankhamma,
