Dave Gibbons On the Forthcoming Watchmen Movie

Posted by timothy on from the alternate-title-the-winders dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Den Of Geek has been talking to comics legend Dave Gibbons about the upcoming transition of the Watchmen from the comic book to the silver screen. 'There are hardcore fans out there who'll be satisfied with nothing less than a word-for-word, line-for-line, scene-for-scene recreation of the comic book. I didn't believe that was ever going to happen.'" It's a rather short interview, but Gibbons addresses some interesting elements of both the movie and comic-book worlds.

    You, sir, are not fit to lick the Dean's boots. I hope you get ebola and die.

    It will probably have as much to do with the comic book as Starship Troopers had to do with the Sci-Fi classic.

    You mean the movie version of Watchmen will be better than the original version? I find that hard to believe.
