Is the long rumored sequel to Watchmen finally beginning to move forward?
It may be.
According to reports from the New York Comic Con, DC is working on plans to get the sequel to Watchmen off the ground.
Among those being linked to the project are Darwyn Cooke (New Frontier, the Parker series) J. Michael Straczynski, J.G. Jones, Andy Kubert and Brian Azzerello.
Blastr reports that DC is holding secret meetings this week and one of the subjects could be the sequel.
As you may recall, Watchmen co-creator Alan Moore is against a sequel to his influential graphic novel and has said he will not be involved with the projetct.
Nooooooooooooooooo!
I liked the Watchmen movie. I didn't care how it did in the movies because I knew it was made for the fans... but a sequel? No. I refuse.
LOVED the Watchmen movie. I expect next they wan't to make a sequel to Citizen Cane or the Shawshank Redemption. Some stories should be allowed to have an ending.
I'm reserving judgment about a Watchmen sequel. I can't quite see how some of the most popular parts of the original comic series could be recaptured. but I'm willing to admit that something as rich and crunchy could be produced.
A big part of the original appeal of Watchmen was the portrayal of superheroes as flawed and human. But everyone does that nowadays. I'm not sure how a sequel would be special or unique or take that core idea to the next level.
The only way I see a second Watchmen movie working is as a prequel, not a sequel.
Id pay good money for two hours of Rorschach.
I loved the movie, but how on Earth do you make a sequel? That ending seemed pretty final to me!
What is the point? They told the story, nothing is left to be said. Also, the most fully realized character in the movie dies at the end. None of the rest of the performances were compelling enough for me to want to watch them take lead in the next film.
It'd have to be a prequel, but it's a god awful idea. I love rorschach, he's my favourite character but everything that can be said has been said.
We know about Rorschach's, Comedian's, and Dr. Manhattan's past, and some of Ozymandias's, Silk Spectre and NiteOwl aren't that interesting.
I suppose it could be about the minutemen, but i'm so not interested in either a prequel, or a sequel.
If it's a sequel, there's THREE characters left.. Silk Spectre and nite owl and also OzyMandias. Rorschach is dead, the comedian is dead, Dr. Manhattan has left
Kurtin.. exactly. it has been tried before. Highlander. that is all.
No just focus on Osterman
