How Serious Is Zack Snyder About The Watchmen Movie?
Well, as you can read about here, pretty serious! In preparation for directing the film, he prepared over 2500 storyboard pages for it, just like the one shown to the left.
With still more than a year to go until the March 6, 2009 premiere, it's going to be a long time before comic fans find out if Snyder's love of the subject matter will really translate into something greater than what we normally get out of comic book movies. If Watchmen turns out to be as good as Batman Begins, I'll be thrilled. If it's as slavishly faithful to the original material as Sin City, I'll be happy. But if it doesn't manage to be considerably better than previous Moore interpretations like V For Vendetta (which was good but not great), From Hell (which didn't really do the comic series justice) or The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (which was just plain awful), then I'll be disappointed.
