Zack Snyder is one of the biggest names in the director circles, and so hearing his name linked to a Watchmen television series is going to be something extremely exciting for comic book and graphic novel fans.
Would a Watchmen TV series work?
Collider broke the news this week that Snyder has been meeting with HBO to chat about the possibility of a series, but with no details on the nature of the show or status of the meetings, we only have the confirmation from HBO that they are working on a series to mull over.
The network said in a statement: "Preliminary discussions regarding Watchmen have occurred but we have no additional information and no deals are in place."
With a lot of material to choose from, a reboot retelling the Watchmen story would be plausible, but the idea of a prequel or even sequel to where the movie left things off are both also viable options.
Though we may all be excited, one man who's likely to refuse any link to the show is creator Alan Moore, who has to this point refused to have his name attached to any film projects based on his work. Whether or not he could be persuaded to jump onboard here is yet to be seen.
