It looks like the movie of “Watchmen,” one of the most acclaimed comic books of the past 20 years if not of all time, has found a director.
Personally, I think the idea of filming “Watchmen” is just a bad one, unless it’s in a multi-part mini series for cable where they have room and freedom to do it justice.
If it licked Terry Gilliam… He tried to make it a movie for I think about a year, but finally decided he couldn’t condense it. There’s too much. The richness in story is what makes it what it is.
