September 30, 2001- Watchmen
Scooped on Monday, September 1, 2008
The Last Comic Site continued its coverage of David Hayter's interest in the Watchmen film today by publishing a report from an eyewitness who saw Hayter make the announcement at the Vancouver Film Festival. In addition to describing how Hayter broke the information to the assembled crowd, the screenwriter also talked about how he would choose to adapt the film for today's audiences...
"He went on to talk about how the events of Sept. 11th would affect the production and as horrified as he was over the attacks a part of him was very upset that Watchmen, which culminated in a devastating blow to New York resulting in something like a million deaths, would be permanently shelved after all the work put into it and the anticipation this movie has had for so very many years. There were talks about how to deal with it since the story was set in 1985. So far the project is still in development and since it would be at least two years before the movie was released the nervousness will have settled some."
