WATCHMEN HBO TV Series Enlists THE LEFTOVERS Director Nicole Kassell To Helm The Pilot
It was recently confirmed that Damon Lindelof's Watchmen TV series had been given a pilot order by HBO, and now it's been announced that The Leftovers director Nicole Kassell has boarded the project...
According to Deadline, The Leftovers showrunner Damon Lindelof has enlisted one of that series' directors, Nicole Kassell, to helm the pilot episode for his Watchmen TV show for HBO.
Kassell directed 2 episodes of The Leftovers, both of which were critically acclaimed. She also helmed installments of Westworld, Claws, The Americans, and 2004 drama The Woodsman starring Kevin Bacon.
We're still not certain what to expect from this take on Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' classic tale, but by all accounts the show will be completely separate to Zack Snyder's - who was actually involved with the series at one point - 2009 feature, which in turn means it'll most likely take quite a few liberties with the source material.
Watchmen doesn't have a premiere date yet,but we'll keep you updated on its progress.
