Watchmen reporter Q&A
October 7th, 2008 by Jeff
Here’s a nifty article about a press screening/Q&A for the upcoming Watchmen movie.
From the article:
Snyder said he had a meeting with the studio early on, where they shared their early “Hollywood” vision for the Watchmen movie. It would have been an updated George Bush-era film, where the Minutemen team had been hunting down terrorists. But Snyder’s love for Nixon’s Watchmen involvement brought him back to the table, asking Warner Brothers to trust him that 1985 is the right way to start the movie, and “maybe we should just leave it the way it is.”
Sounds like Snyder stuck up for the source material in the face of studio meddling, so kudos to him.

There is nothing but good things being said about this movie. It’s very exciting thus far and I hope it’s as good as advertised.
Of course Kevin Smith is gushing about it, but he did so for Attack of the Clones and he thinks Ben Affleck is an acting GOD, so take that with the smallest grain of salt you can find
