| HBO Considering ‘Watchmen’ TV Series From Zack Snyder
It’s being reported that HBO is actually considering a possible new series adaptation of the legendary Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons comic book Watchmen. Many of you will recall the 2009 movie adaptation of the same name, directed by Dawn of the Dead (2004), 300, and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice director Zack Snyder, which was far better than anyone expected the once thought un-filmable adaptation to be.
