at one point Watchmen was being touted as a Terry Gilliam film, then was being pitched as a sort of LOTRs set of films all filmed at once but released gradually. . . then it was dropped. . . then picked up and went into pre-production with locations and casting almost set . . . then dropped again. . . now picked up again but with out a solid script i won't hold my breath.

as for a series - i disagree with return on this one - HBO has show it can do series with awesome casts, strong effects, and outstanding writing/pacing. series like deadwood, six feet under, and the sopranos are among the smartest and best acted pieces of entertainment period - i actually think Watchmen would be better without big name stars (what Brad Pitt as rorscharch?) and just good solid acting

but . . . we'll wait and see (or should i say we'll watch. . .)
