The film that can't be made...

Remember when Watchmen was first banded about as a film project, they all said it couldn't be done. Remember Alan Moore publicly washing his hands of the project, cursing it's existence, saying how he'd written it with it never being filmed in mind?

Well it was all going sooooo well, apart from no giant squid at the end, but it looks as if the Watchmen curse has started.
Fox wins ruling in the Watchmen case. Read the Variety article here. Hopefully we'll still get to see the final cut but Fox seem to have won distribution rights off Warner Bros. Nothing is ever easy.
Happy Chrimble one and all dogs...

Who watches the Watchmen?...

Perhaps no one...

Who will watch the Watchmen...

Ok, here it is. Probably the most anticipated comic-book to film adaptation in recent memory. Its based on the Eisner award winning, Alan Moore scripted, Dave Gibbons illustrated cult graphic novel Watchmen. Probably my all-time favourite comic book ever, alongside Alan Moore's V For Vendetta and Phil Hester and Mike Huddleston's The Coffin. If you haven't read Watchmen I strongly suggest you buy a copy now and read it before the films release, its utter genius (not a word I use lightly). Anyway, Zack Snyder (of 300 fame) is directing this one and they have just released the first trailer. I have to say that it looks fantastic but whether they will do justice to the source material remains to be seen. Watch it here in glorious HD.
