Will Zack Snyder, last seen directing the Dawn Of The Dead remake (and currently finishing up Frank Miller adaptation The 300) be the next helmer to attempt Watchmen?
Ain’t It Cool News certainly thinks so, and now they have confirmed that he’s in negotiations with current rights holders Warner Bros to take the hot seat. There’s also word that a new writer is being brought on to work on the script.
With the likes of Darren Aronofsky, Terry Gilliam and Paul Greengrass already having had a shot, the pressure will be on for Snyder if he gets – and takes – the job.
