    He even had it looked at by Moore.

    Moore didn't exactly give it his apporval, but he did say it was the closest that Watchmen could be turned into a movie.

    For real?

    That's pretty cool actually.

    I give this entire concept one million thumbs down.

    Edit: Fact check, Zack, Alan Moore is from Northamptonshire. It's not like the fucker has moved outside of his bedroom for twenty years. Fact check.

    Big fucking deal, he was just generalizing and making a reference to how Alan Moore said comics should be read next to the fireplace on a cozy night in your living room. I don't think he cares that much because he knows Moore will never help out with a film adaptation of one of his comics, he never has.

    It wasn't showing at first, but now it is.

    And how the fuck am I out of my element? I'm just saying Zack Snyder probably isn't TOO worried about what Moore thinks, since he knows he probably won't watch it for a while, if ever. Just do the best job you can do with the material, and if the master wants to talk to you or see it, so be it.

    The whole prospect of a Watchmen movie depresses and exhausts me. I feel like the whole thing has been talked to death.

    This whole idea should be treated like terrorism. If we pay attention to it, then they win.

    If he put on the weight....mmmmmaybe.

    I will withhold judgement on it till I see more info.

    Also yes it would work best as something like a 12 hour miniseries, like opening with the clock striking a new hour sort of like 24 wait shit now it doesn't seem like such a good idea but anyway if somebody like HBO or whoever picked it up it might turn out okay.

    Any Watchmen movie will suck. Deep down we all know it. How can they explain half the shit from the comics in three hours? They can't, so they will either cut it out or plaster it up there with no explanation at all, making for a poor film.

    it'll be polished an rewritten a bit, of course

    The DVD is going to be so much longer than the theatrical cut. I'm just thinking of the movie will go like Kingdom of Heaven. Theatrical cut will be alright, but the DC for the DVD will be amazing

    I'm pretty sure that when Moore was asked how to make a Watchmen movie he replied "Don't."

    he's going to be like a drunken virgin frat-boy at his first date-rape fest

    Doesn't everyone love that movie?

    Vin Diesel as Ozymandeus.

    John Goodman as Nite Owl II.

    Sir Ian McKellan as old Nite Owl,

    etc etc.

    I really want to see who they get to play all the parts. Also, definitely work better as a HBO miniseries in the style of Rome. Like two set seasons, and production costs in the hojillions.
