LOS ANGELES, Dec. 19 (UPI) -- Warner Bros. Pictures has picked up the rights to "Watchmen," the seminal DC Comics limited series created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.
The project has landed at the studio with original producers Larry Gordon and Lloyd Levin, but not screenwriter David Hayter and director Paul Greengrass, who were with the project when it was let go from Paramount in June, The Hollywood Reporter said Monday.
Hollywood has been trying to bring the 1986 comic book series to the big screen for years, The Reporter noted.
"Watchman" made Time magazine's list of the 100 best novels since 1923. It is about an alternative world in which superheroes are real, but have been outlawed. One vigilante former hero has to untangle a conspiracy involved in the deaths of the unmasked superheroes.
