Why Was Watchmen Supposed To Be Unfilmable?

It really depends on what you mean by “Watchmen,” ultimately; can the core plot of Watchmen (Solving the murder of a superhero and the larger plot it unveils) be made into a movie? Of course.

Total Recall Getting Total Remake?

Total Recall is probably my all time favorite sci-fi flick. So it’s with mixed emotions that I hear Hollywood may be returning to Mars. According to The Hollywood Reporter, producer Neal H.

Meet The Man Who Wants Watchmen To Succeed… And Fail

One of the strangest outcomes of the lawsuit surrounding the movie rights to Watchmen is that producer Larry Gordon stands to profit – and lose – big if the movie’s a huge success. Here’s why.

Ruin the Watchmen Movie by Inserting Stuff That Wasn’t in the Comic Book

We know the Watchmen movie isn’t going to be 100% faithful to the book, and that’s OK. But what sorts of stuff could Zack Snyder have inserted that would have ruined the entire thing?
