A Few More Details Emerge About HBO’s Watchmen TV Series
Time To Watch The Watchmen Again…
♦ Over on dccomicsnews.com, they have just given people a small glimpse of what we can expect from HBO’s new Watchmen TV series…
Lindelof recently spoke at Vulture Vest (via IndieWire) about the project and explained why he believes a new Watchmen adaptation is important.
Lindelof says that when he first read Moore’s graphic novel, it felt “dangerous”, and that feeling played a big part in his decision to tackle the material:
“The reason I’m doing this is because these are dangerous times and we need dangerous shows. What we think about superheroes is wrong.”
In the past, Lindelof has also shared his thoughts on Snyder’s adaptation, saying that he thought the Batman v Superman director did the best he could within the confines of the medium of film:
“I think it’s a very complicated question. You almost can’t judge the movie purely as a movie because of its relation to the fact that it is an adaptation of the graphic novel. That being said I think that Zack Snyder made the best possible movie adaptation considering the fact that he was really out to not revise things, the fans really wanted a literal adaptation. That’s exactly what he delivered. He delivered that with an incredible amount of grace and skill. But I think that, for those of us who basically said “How do you do Watchmen in a two and a half hour movie?” He has now answered: “This is how”. You just have to kind of leave it at that. Over time, I think history will basically tell whether the movie was brilliant or less than, but all I can say is how incredibly impressed I personally watching what Zack had accomplished.”
