HBO ordered Watchmen pilot
HBO has given the green light to a television adaptation of the popular Watchmen comic strip. According to Deadline, Damon Lindelof, who previously worked on such popular series as The Left Behind and Lost, will be responsible for the creation of the pilot episode. The timing of the project at the time of this writing has not been specified ... We will remind that earlier Zach Snyder shot a full-length movie based on the comic book, the authors of which were Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. The movie, in which the key roles were played by Jackie Earl Haley, Patrick Wilson, Billy Crudup, Malin Ackerman, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Matthew Goode, Carla Gugino and other actors, failed at the box office. Its worldwide box office grossed just $ 185 million on a production budget of $ 130 million. The comic takes place in an alternative reality in the mid-80s of the last century, when the Cold War between the USSR and the United States threatens to develop into a nuclear one. In the center of the plot is a group of "retired" superheroes who are investigating the death of one of them and find themselves in the center of a global conspiracy that could threaten all of humanity.
