HBO is in “preliminary discussions†to produce a series based on Watchmen, the Alan Moore comic book and Zack Snyder film. There is as of yet no deal whatsoever in place.
Mr Snyder’s film starred Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach, Billy Crudup as Dr Manhattan, and Carla Gugino as Silk Spectre. Mr Haley and Mr Crudup have since appeared in several movies each, while Ms Gugino most notably starred in Wayward Pines this past summer.
Right now, there is very little information available about this potential series, but in light of the recent success that series such as Arrow and Agents of SHIELD have enjoyed, it seems likely that HBO would go above and beyond in order to score a superhero title.
