Watchmen Will Be Spectacular

The movie 300 was a frame by frame adaptation of Frank Miller’s Graphic Novel of the same name. Now the director of 300 has directed a movie based on a Graphic Novel that is arguably the best story ever put in the Graphic Novel format: The Watchmen.

The story is set in an alternate reality of 1985 where Nixon is still President, the world is on the brink of nuclear war, and masked vigilantes- superheros, are real. But when one retired masked adventurer is murdered, Rorschach, a former teammate and still active hero, launches an investigation to find out why.

From the trailer and production photos I’ve seen, this is going to be another frame by frame production to bring this brilliant story to the screen. And it is going to be awesome.

If you haven’t read Watchmen, you should read it before the movie comes out in March. You can get it here, or click the photo of the book below.
