The First Watchmen Video Journal! ⇒
7 April 2008, mid-afternoon
I hope this movie is good. I really don't know how you turn that comic into a film.
This is a post from my link log: If you click the title of this post you will be taken the web page I am discussing.
i know nothing about this project but i’m going to bet on it being pretty terrible. the storyline in that grpahic novel is pretty odd.
joss whedon was in our office a little while back and someone asked if you could really do a Wonder Woman movie that would do the TV show justice. His response was ‘yes’ but added that some things just can’t work as a movie, Watchmen being one of them.

Yeah, “Watchmen” has been in development hell for years, apparently. Moore himself has said it’ll never work as a movie, and the adaptations of some of his other works have certainly been terrible. But I like what I’ve seen so far about this production.

I insist on believing this movie will kick ass. I want to believe.

Believe! Apparently Moore has said that this is the best script of all the adaptations of his work. It’s David Hayter writing it – voice of Solid Snake – and he’s certainly passionate about the book. I think he’s had the rights for the past 8 years, and has simply been waiting until a studio agreed to do it properly, hence the development hell.

Its written by Solid Snake! The movie is going to be amazing. There isn’t a doubt in my mind anymore.
Can’t wait to play MGS4.
