Alan Moore's Watchmen Possibly Heading for HBO
Collider has confirmed that Zack Snyder has met with HBO about making a television series based on the Watchman. It's unknown if it will be either based on the original comic, Before Watchmen, or possible a new thing. As of now it has not yet been greenlit: http://collider.com/watchmen-tv-seri..._medium=social

Not really all that big about Before Watchmen, but I did enjoy the Snyder movie. Not sure if I'd be interested in a show, I mean. A 13 episode show would have been a better service to the story compared to the running time off the movie, even the full movie with the added Black Freighter short.
I'm lukewarm at best on this. A new adaptation off the comic would have been neat, but anything else.... Eeeeh. |

I think this is based on the prequel comics.

I'll say that while Watchman is arguably Zack's best film, he's still not the best guy for the job. Not sure why they're bringing him in unless its related to his Watchmen.

Damon Lindelof to Develop ‘Watchmen’ for HBO
Looks like Damon Lindelof may be going back to work for HBO. Fresh off the series finale of “The Leftovers,” Lindelof is in talks to develop an adaptation of the comic book series “Watchmen” to the cabler. This will be HBO’s second attempt at developing a series based on the landmark DC Comics miniseries by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. The premium channel had kicked the tires on a “Watchmen” project in 2014. Sources say Lindelof’s take on the series would be starting over from scratch independent of that effort. Premiering in 1985, “Watchmen” was a serious-minded deconstruction of superhero comics loosely inspired by characters from the Charlton Comics library, which were owned by DC. Set in a universe in which the appearance of costumed heroes in the mid-20th Century had altered the course of history — leading to U.S. victory in Vietnam and a Nixon presidency that stretched into the mid-1980s — “Watchmen” followed a group of crimefighters investigating the murder of one of their own. In the process, those characters — including Doctor Manhattan, Nite Owl, Silk Spectre, and Rorschach — uncover a conspiracy with enormous implications. HBO declined to comment on the project. “Watchmen” was adapted into a feature film produced by Warner Bros. and directed by Zach Snyder in 2009. No deal is yet in place for the HBO project, which will be unrelated to that movie produced by Warner Bros. Television, where Lindelof is under an overall deal. http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/damo...bo-1202473414/ |

Didn't they just announce an animated movie based off watchmen like two weeks ago?
If both projects are go then awesome or is it all the same thing? I'm somehow really hyped for this and I wasn't crazy for it since I was more excited about the animated adaptation they announced last year. Also the fact that we already got a decent version with the movie, of course a mini-series might do it better but it could also mess it up. Speaking about this I need to read spoilers of what happened with the DC crossover/merger. Last edited by sdp; 12-31-2023 at 09:27 AM. |

Guaranteed to be a modern day adaptation (i.e., not set in the 1980s) and guaranteed it will literally feature President Trump... probably on a third presidential term (alternately, George W. Bush still president in 2020). With a lot of not-so-subtle liberal jabs at this or that.
Zero chance of that. Quote:
Who even knows anymore. It's been going on for like 3 years now and nothing's happened. "Mr. Oz" who everyone thought was Ozymandias, turned out to be Jor-El or something in a Superman book, and then died again. They're just making it up as they go... Geoff has no master plan.

Yeah... it's really sounding like this will be an "important" Watchmen adaptation.

Oh yeah, tell the audience what they're supposed to think. That always ends well.

Well the movie was already fairly accurate to the comic IMO, on the other hand if we get something like WatchmeX or the cartoon I'd be ok:
First picture: I don't know, I don't feel confident, at least the movie was good. First trailer, looks awful Last edited by sdp; 12-31-2023 at 09:29 AM. |

The big news is that this is apparently a straight-up sequel. They keep saying "to the graphic novel" and not the Snyder movie, but that doesn't really matter.
