First off, I've now seen the full trailer for
Zack Snyder's next movie
300, and OH MY GOD how cool does it look? Can't wait to see the trailer on the big screen. Now we already know that Snyder has another comic book adaptation to shoot, that of the much celebrated
Alan Moore graphic novel
Watchmen. What's the status of the movie? Well here's some quotes from an exclusive interview
Empire had with the director...
"Were getting ready to turn a script that we like into this studio, says Snyder. Theyre pretty excited about it1985s a problem for people, he continues. The Cold Wars a problem for people. But these are things Ive been trying to would be cool. I like that Richard Nixon is the president in it. I think thats important". He goes on to mention that no casting talks have taken place as of yet but he believes that many names are interested just because of the graphic novel. You can read the full interview by

Watchmen, and i've always been baffled as to why it is heralded as the best graphic novel over the likes of
The Dark Knight Returns or
V for Vendetta. Nevertheless, I liked it enough to get exicted about seeing it on the big screen. Honestly, I find it hard to imagine what it would look like and part of me thinks it can't be done, but I guess we will see. After the look of 300, maybe Snyder can do anything. source -
