Watchmen

its suprising how more cooperative people are when it comkes to making a movie from a highly acclaimed novel like Watchmen. I just read it and it was alot to absorb but it definetly shows a very solid perspective of what could happen if superheroes were runing around. Makes you think. If its properly done in production with director, script, and casting then they could have quite the hit

I suspect that Alan Moore might end up spinning around uncontrollably before he even dies.  If he were dead right now he'd be turning in his grave so fast there'd be a tornado forming over it.  V For Vendetta was bad enough.

Garcin:
When the author of the original graphic novel demands that his name not be associated after it's been cinematized/Wachowskized on a huge budget, it's definitely not a good sign.  And League of Extraordinary Gentlemen . . . well little need be said about that.  I haven't seen or read From Hell and friends/reviewers have generally been split on the movie 50/50, so maybe this was the exception.

Alright, I poked around (ie. checked on IMDB) and the movie is confirmed pre-production with Zack Snyder attached.  He directed the Dawn of the Dead remake which was generally well-reviewed -- although I haven't seen it yet.  Anyone seen this?  I'm upgrading the situation from "Gonna suck goat balls" to "Cautiously optimistic".

KharBevNor:
V For Vendetta was a good film, and included many of Moores best scenes. The reason Moore disowned it was because they had updated and softened the political context, which is fair enough, however, it was a clever move by the Wachowskis. They showed how the threat to the future might arise from today rather than from 1982. If they'd only kept V an anarchist, it would have been brilliant.

JLM:
Isn't Alan Moore, like, the Howard Hughes of the comic world?  Him saying he wants his name taken off of a project is basically par for the course...I'm fairly certain that even if a word for word copy of one of his scripts was produced for the big screen he'd still disown it.
