'Bourne' Director to take on Watchmen

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the can-you-fail-a-rorschach-test dept.

Here's one of those mixed blessing stories: Paul Greengrass, the director of the Bourne Supremacy has been tapped to direct a film based on The Watchmen, one of the greatest comics ever made. No word on if Paul plans to add Tom Sawyer to the cast.

    If Greengrass finds a camera man who doesn't suffer from non-stop epileptic seizures, I'm cool with it.

  2. When will it end? by yetanothermike · · Score: 4, Funny
    Hellblazer starring Keanu isn't bad enough? Now they have to poison the well further with Watchmen?

    What's next??? V For Vendetta starring Vin Diesel?? The Rock IS The Sandman... *gag* *wretch* *puke*

    For those of you who haven't heard of Watchmen before, or haven't read it - you should. This is one of the works that really showed just how well comics could tell adult stories and be more than spandex and capes.
