Bringing Watchmen to the screen

In The Telegraph, Craig McLean traces the long and winding road taken by The Watchmen from a comic book series written by Alan Moore and drawn by Dave Gibbons, to the screen.

'Watchmen has been done with a completely different mindset to the other [adaptations],' Gibbons says. 'I would think that if Alan ever did watch this – and he probably won't – this would be the one that he would be least displeased with.'

'Watchmen' is released in the UK on 6 March.
