Fresh off of critical favorite The Leftovers, Damon Lindelof is in talks for a potential Watchmen TV series for HBO. Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that the project is in the early development stages. An official deal is not yet in place. Representatives for HBO and producers Warner Bros. Television declined comment.
Lindelof originally read the comics as a kid in the 1980s and has said that the series continues to influence his work. "From the flashbacks to the nonlinear storytelling to the deeply flawed heroes, these are all elements that I try to put into everything I write," he told CBR in 2009 ahead of the feature film take. He's read Watchmen multiple times and, at the time, praised director Zack Snyder's film. "It's the most married-to-the-original-text version of Watchmen that could've been made," he told the Observer. "I want to keep it sort of insular," he said, referring to the multiple translations that have come from trying to translate the source material. "It's OK with me if people don't understand it because they don't deserve to understand it."
Snyder, who directed the 2009 feature film adaptation of Alan Moore's beloved comic series, is no longer attached to the drama from Warner Bros. Television, where both DC Entertainment and Lindelof are housed.

I'm incredibly interested in this.

What is the point? The movie isn't even 10 years old.

Hopefully he develops Rorschach's character better than Snyder

I can't wait to not know what the hell is going on

HBO keeps swinging for the fences for these super expensive shows to take over for GOTs.

Hope it turns out better than that terrible movie.

Here come the complaints about nothing but big blue dick.

I disagree. Think I might be one of the few on this board who actually liked The Watchmen. There's plenty of potential material and I'll be interested to see what HBO does with it.

Except, Watchmen was pretty easy to understand.

It won't be after Lindelof ruins it.

But he really didn't. He took an incredibly nuanced graphic novel and managed to transfer a large chunk of it to the silver screen. Yes he's sucked pretty hard since, but it was a fun movie that mostly stayed true to the graphic novel.
