Alan Moore On The Watchmen Movie

Monday September 22, 2008
This article/interview of Alan Moore from the LA Times shows what many of us have known for quite some time. Alan Moore has no love for Hollywood. Many of his works have been made into films, From Hell, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, V for Vendetta to name a few. I could see why he was upset, especially about The League, that one didn't fly with me at all. There is one man who seems to be gunning for Moore's approval, director Zack Snyder. Word is that Snyder is trying very much to be faithful to the original work. Obviously some of the comic isn't going to make it into film, but I bet many comic fans are hoping that this one will get it right and win over the comic scribe that seems to be unable to be won over. If they can win him over, it would mean that the Watchmen film would be one great piece of work.

Sorry to be nitpicky but seeing as this is one of my favorite comic books I feel the need to correct you; the title of the novel is actually “Watchmen” not “The Watchmen.”

You are correct! I guess I meant to say “on the Watchmen film” which I changed to title to reflect. Thanks for the catch Sage.
