Watchmen
Okay, so the guys who are doing 300 are now working on Watchmen, another Alan Moore Graphic novel (Moore did V for Vendetta).
Watchmen's a great "comic," but I seriously worry about someone's ability to pull it off well. Partially because of what has been done with V, and partially because the idea's been around for a while and always failed to make it to the big screen.
“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”
