This should be great, especially with him attached. Always one of my favorite GNs and I loved the movie, even with Zack Snyder's faults.
in theory, this could work - i think the episodic format would better suit the source material and HBO is a good spot for it. I don't have high esteem for Lindlehof but he's not as aggressively bad as Zach Snyder is. but, i don't know if Watchmen can be effective today... i think we're in a post-Watchmen superhero mindset creatively. then again, it could be fun to return to Cold War themes of paranoia and unrest. whether or not that'll turn viewers out, or if the critics will like it... who knows.
Loved the movie, but how can anyone not be excited for more Watchmen? Even if they don't stick strictly to the book, I'm down for any rendition of these characters. Nope
