Zack Snyder Reveals "Watchmen" DetailsThe article includes some casting details, as well as the director's approach to the material. They really do appear to be making the film this time.
I find these details encouraging. If you've seen
300, you know that Snyder is capable of slavish adherence to the style of his source material. My only worry is that, as with
300, it will be so close to the comic book as to render it uninteresting to me. Even though I have followed the
Watchmen film saga for years, it has never been because I thought it needed to be a film, but rather because I did not want to see it butchered.
Also, I will probably never stop wanting to see what Terry Gilliam would have done with it.
