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.

    It's hard to believe that's how Micronians are made. Why don't we see it right now by having you both kiss one another?

    Looks like its going to suck. Bad actors, the director is a dweeb, the special effects are going to be laughable.

    With production values this bad, who will watch The Watchmen?

      I have no mod points, but this is great.

      Who watches the watchmen?

      In Hollywood... nobody!
