There’s not been much heard of this for sometime, and all the fans of The Watchmen are probably sitting there worrying that the shake up at Paramount is set to destroy the movie’s chances. Well, still no word either way I’m afraid.
According to Ain’t it cool news through Comic Book Movie:
“WATCHMEN is not, despite all the death knells that have been sounded in the press and online, dead. They’re in a difficult position right now with [director Paul] Greengrass, because when he signed on, the film was described to him as a greenlight, a go picture. Now, because of circumstance, he finds himself in the position of having to pitch the studio the movie all over again.”
Now I’m quite new to this and I know AICN is a huge site with a huge following, but personally I find it hard reading the posts there, not just for the look and feel but also the writing style. However, this article is written perfectly and carries a weight of emotion. It also shows quite clearly that the team who are trying to make this movie really care about it, and that the studios listen to what the fans say on the Internet, so how about we tell them that we really want to see it made this time, and we’ll back it with our bucks? I certainly will.
