Zack Snyder Talks 'Watchmen' Sequel

Another day, another Watchmen update. Director Zack Snyder recently talked to The New York Times about how he was coping with the possibility of the film being shelved due to the legal issues between Fox and Warner Bros., how he plans to indoctrinate viewers who have never read the graphic novel, and how he explains not using the giant squid to viewers how know the source material backwards and forwards. Snyder also discusses Alan Moore...and a sequel. "Listen, [Warner Bros. owns] the rights. If they wanted to go and hire some guy to make them a sequel to Watchmen, I don’t know that they would get any of those actors to do it, and I know that I wouldn’t have anything to do with it. But they own it," says Synder. "They can make a movie – I’ve spoiled it, I think, a little bit," he adds. "Do you leave that film going, 'Man, I wonder what the next chapter is?' [laughs]" And there's a new IMAX poster for the film, which is a lot like the recent (but not most recent) theatrical poster. I don't love it, but it's new and different, so here you go.
Poster courtesy of MTV Watchmen is finally here on March 6th.

Wow I was looking forward to him talking about all this stuff at once.

So yeah I hope he's made a good alternative to the squid ending

Sometimes I wonder if Alan Moore purposely writes things in a way that no movie studio would ever attempt turning it into film or if he's just kinda warped that way. Case in point, in an interview where he was lambasting Hollywood over his other works turned film and only slightly crapping on the upcoming Watchmen flick... talk turned to his latest work Lost Girls. Think porno with Alice from Wonderland, Wendy from Neverland and Dorothy from Oz to whatever level of kink suits you and Moore has probably done you one better. He seemed literally gleeful with himself and that he was doing something Hollywood wouldn't dare go near. In all likelihood he's right in that assumption even if the perversion of childhood characters is nothing new as the internet can handily attest.

Thank goodness there won't be a sequel.
