HBO is taking the graphic novel Watchmen and turning it into a television show.
The movie was an absolute hit, so there’s no reason to believe that this show won’t work out.

The synopsis reads:
“Set in an alternate history where ‘superheroes’ are treated as outlaws, drama series Watchmen, debuting this fall from executive producer Damon Lindelof (HBO’s The Leftovers) embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel of the same name while attempting to break new ground of its own.”
Production designer Mark Worthington spoke about what we can expect.
“Damon Lindeloff has a very specific approach to that material,” Worthington said . “I can’t tell you what that approach is.
“Yes, of course, we’re inspired by the original. Yes, of course, we’re respectful of what that meant and what it is as an object.”
“But then Damon has his own way of extending that and taking it to a new place because he’s not redoing it, he’s creating something that’s other than that. I don’t know. We’ll see how people respond. I think people are going to like it.”

I for one, am extremely excited about the new show! I can’t wait to see how they adapt the comic.
