John Cusack on shifting from acting to writing 'Momo'

John Cusack is shifting from acting to writing due to creative freedom.

His graphic novel 'Momo' is illustrated by Ignacio Noé and follows two fugitives in 1972 recovering an artifact for Jackie Gleason.

Cusack calls graphic novels 'the closest things to film' because they allow cinematic storytelling without studio oversight.

The project had no committee edits or notes, with only Cusack and Noé involved.

Cusack is willing to reprise his role if 'Momo' is adapted into a film.
