Exclusive: HBO Eyeing ‘Watchmen’ TV Series from Zack Snyder

Collider:
In 2009, during the early days of the current wave of superhero cinema, Zack Snyder brought Alan Moore’s acclaimed comic book limited series Watchmen to life for Warner Bros. Moore’s work is a beast of interconnected and referential storylines, creating quite a challenge for Snyder while making it all the more impressive that he pulled the film off as well as he did. While the feature did fairly well with critics, it wasn’t a runaway hit at the box office; many credited this result to the unwieldy nature of the story, which would conceivably be better suited for a serial adaptation.

It’s with that in mind that we report that Snyder has been meeting with HBO to talk about a Watchmen TV series. Our sources tell us that the meetings about adapting the DC Comics property have taken place, but unfortunately we don’t have any details as to whether this would be a prequel series, a re-imagining of the events of the Watchmen story itself, or a sequel series.

Does anyone think that this would be too much or is it just me?

It's just you, I hope. :P I love Watchmen. Both the graphic novel and the movie. I pray this comes to fruition! INCREDIBLY EXCITING IF TRUE!!!! :D

Too much superhero stuff on tv...I was loving it when Arrow came on and even when The Flash started getting better but you can only get keep up with so many. Now they have Daredevil and they have SuperGirl coming on and I don't know, it just seems like they're trying to throw all of the comic book characters at us at the same time.

I guess you're right. But to be honest, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Watchmen, Arrow, and Flash are all great. Gotham and SHIELD are alright but it's not liek these shows are outright horrible, so I'm Ok with it.

He literally did it perfectly by re-telling the comics on the big screen. Almost perfect towards the source material

Unless they make it a sequel series.

RetrospectRealm3127d ago

I don't remember this scene in the movie.

Porcelain_Chicken3127d ago

That... was probably for the best haha! It's one of the few things I loved more about the movie.

Aldous_Snow3127d ago

Wasn't overly keen on the movie. I like the Dr. Manhattan character. Wouod be pretty badass if they brought him into the DCCU.

EazyC3127d ago

I think they should focus on Rorschach's character when he went lone-wolf. An ensemble character line up would mean character development spread too thin.
