WATCHMEN TV Series In The Works At HBO From Damon Lindelof; Zack Snyder No Longer Involved
We heard some whispers about this a while ago, but now it looks like that HBO Watchmen TV series is in the early stages of development with The Leftovers showrunner Damon Lindelof on board...
Though it is only in the very early stages of development, that Watchmen TV series we first heard about last year is reportedly in the works at HBO.
Watchmen movie director Zack Snyder was originally involved with this small-screen adaptation, but it seems he is no longer attached. Instead, The Leftovers showrunner Damon Lindelof is poised to guide the project to fruition.
Though THR mentions that the show will be based on Alan Moore's original graphic novel, it's unclear whether it will be a direct adaptation of simply use certain elements to tell a new story. Could we see any of the recent Beyond Watchmen comic book series in there, perhaps?
We'll update as soon as we hear more, but for now let us know what you think of this news in the usual place.
