[Zero]

sadly a movie was in pre-production (and quite late in the game) when a studio-head change at paramount(? or fox?) nixed the project.

it is once again in the pipeline with the guy who is directing the 300 movie (which is like sin city in that its all cg backgrounds) - but i don't know how far along it is.

personally, i htink the only way to even come close to it is a mini-series on HBO (who know how to put money into mini-series).

But, to Return, Watchmen is the Ulysses of comics - truly the greatest artistic achievement in the medium (with Maus a close second) - i tend to read it over about once a year. I'd also put Dark Knight Returns in the top 3.
