Watchmen has been “on again/off again” almost as much as the new Indiana Jones project of the last couple of years. Now it looks like there could finally be some real tangible movement on the film. According to AICN, Watchmen may finally have itself a director. Here’s what they had to say:
I’ve been able to confirm now that (Zack) Snyder has entered negotiations with Warner Bros. to helm the project, which is fantastic news. I know that all you guys have seen so far is DAWN OF THE DEAD, so that’s all you can judge him on, but trust me… 300 is a whole different ball game. When you get a load of what this guy is capable of… when you see how far he pushes things with bringing Frank Miller’s world to life… you’ll be just as excited as I am.
WIth the success of Sin City, you just knew the studio would find a way to take advantage of the graphic novel at some point. Maybe this is actually it.
