Director Zack Snyder recently chatted with IGN Filmforce a little more about his planned adaptation of the Alan Moore classic "Watchmen" and has good news for the die hard fans.
First up they've finished the script - "I've wanted to try to get back to the source much as I could without it being, of course, a six-hour long movie... I will tell you that the draft of the script is long. It's so long in fact that when we turned it in, we turned 'The Black Freighter' stuff in as a separate script so as not to scare them too much".
Better still, an extended cut of the film is already planned - "That's the one cool thing we have is DVD, and in my opinion it's not exploited nearly enough. [We could use that] to create the three-hour version of Watchmen. And [as a director] I'm totally fine with that, but I feel like that's a battle I haven't lost yet, so I'm not going to concede to it yet."
The director will immediately begin on "Watchmen" after the completion of Frank Miller's "300" due out next March.
