The upcoming **Watchmen ** TV series may stray far from the source material. Last month, it was reported that LOST and The Leftovers co-creator Damon Lindelof had been hired by HBO to develop an adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' iconic 1986 limited comic book series (and later graphic novel), Watchmen . The news came almost two years after it was first reported that HBO was developing a Watchmen TV series , though all they had to say at the time was that they were in preliminary talks with creatives about the proj With a set month for the game’s release (assuming the COVID situation doesn’t result in any delays), it’s likely that interested fans will be hearing more about it within the next few months. In the meantime, PS5 owners have plenty of other indie games to look forward to thanks to Sony’s ongoing PlayStation Indies initiative. These include another Annapurna-published title called Maquette , a first-person puzzle game where players manipulate the world by interacting with a miniature model of The last Watchmen adaptation was Zack Snyder's 2009 film. And as with virtually every other Snyder-directed film, Watchmen split critics and audiences. However, the movie's Ultimate Cut has since received almost universal acclaim, with other notable Hollywood directors heralding the film as a " masterwork ." Despite the movie's extended version achieving acclaim from critics and audiences alike, Gibbons believes that the upcoming Watchmen TV series may, in fact, outshine the movie. Gibbons suggested that Watchmen works better as a TV show rather than a movie because it's an episodic story, and episodic narratives don't always fit within the confines of a two-to-three hour film; unless, of course, the story stretches across multiple theatrical installme Those who've read the Watchmen graphic novel know that the story has a definitive beginning and a definitive ending, which is why it was told as a limited series in the first place. So, translating that story into a full-fledged series (not miniseries) would, of course, require deviations from the source material. When asked about Lindelof potentially creating material specifically for the show, Bloys responded, "I think so, yes."
