Alan Moore, whose popular graphic novel “Watchmen” will provide the basis for an HBO drama created by Damon Lindelof, is “not thrilled” about the new project, HBO programming president Casey Bloys said Wednesday.
That’s not a surprise: Moore has famously opposed attempts to adapt his work for the screen. Asked if Moore has changed his stance, Bloys said no.
“I think that remains the case. That he’s not thrilled,” Bloys said in a Television Critics Association Q&A.
Bloys added that Moore isn’t consulting on the show. Again, no surprise.
Zack Snyder directed a film version of the 12-issue “Watchmen” comics series in 2009.
