    HBO has officially picked up Watchmen:


    Watchmen on HBO will not adapt the comic books of the same name. The network said that, “‘Watchmen’ embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel while attempting to break new ground of its own.”

    “Some of the characters will be unknown,” Lindelof explained. “New faces. New masks to cover them. We also intend to revisit the past century of Costumed Adventuring through a surprising yet familiar set of eyes…and it is here we will be taking our greatest risks.”

    I'll keep an eye out for the first trailer. I was really excited for a miniseries adaptation given that while I love the Snyder film (fight me) there are obvious ways it could be improved upon. The thought of original content in the Watchmen universe doesn't really excite me in the same way considering Before Watchmen was by all accounts pretty terrible. But we'll see.
