Hi, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab...
Well, we called it back in March, but now it’s official. Zack Snyder’s the man for WATCHMEN. In that article, I hinted at the identity of a writer who was brought in to go through every single one of Hayter’s drafts as well as the book to try and really streamline this thing. As this film has bounced from studio to studio, the script picked up a little bit of scar tissue, residual material left over from notes that were executed to try to get that ever-elusive greenlight. Alex Tse has been brought in to try and strip all of that away and just get back to the cleanest version of Alan Moore’s WATCHMEN possible.
That 300 editing room visit is finally cleared for publication, so expect to see that in the days ahead. It’s great stuff, and as soon as I walked out of that room, I was sold on Snyder as the guy who can bring this epic story to the screen. We’ll see.
"Moriarty" out.
