	IGN: Watchmen in Danger
		While Paramount has said publicly that it intends on proceeding with the film, it is clear that the risky Watchmen will have to quickly curtail its costs (and find a new place to shoot) if it will make its anticipated 2006 release date.
		Greengrass, a politically minded filmmaker, advised CHUD in a recent interview that he finds Watchmen more relevant and important than ever.
		This would be particularly unfortunate as it seemed the film had found an ideal team in director Paul Greengrass and screenwriter David Hayter.

	TNMC: The Tuesday Night Movie Club
		Watchmen was such a seminal work, that people immediately wanted to make it into a film.
		What I have is a copy of David Hayter’s 2003 draft of the Watchmen film tentatively slated for a 2006 release.
		It was written only a couple of years after Watchmen was published, before it became almost biblical in stature.

	Sci Fi Wire -- The News Service of the Sci Fi Channel
		Lloyd Levin, one of the producers of the upcoming sequel film Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, told SCI FI Wire that he is also producing a faithful film version of Alan Moore/Dave Gibbon's seminal superhero graphic novel Watchmen, adapted by X-Men screenwriter David Hayter, who may also direct.
		Past efforts to adapt Watchmen for the movies—including one by producer Joel Silver, with Terry Gilliam directing—have stalled.
		Levin—who is also producing Hellboy, based on Mike Mignola's comic series—added, "I really love comics, but I also really love movies about interesting characters.

	Watchmen
		It's appropriate that the film starts with a murder and doesn't stop moving until there is a reconciliation, a moment of healing.
		With the right support and the full weight of the studio on his side, David Hayter is poised to make the GODFATHER of superhero films, that rare thing which transcends the genre it represents and becomes something unforgettable.
		WATCHMEN has long been held as one of the finest moments in comics history...

		October 25, 2005- Entertainment Weekly claims the film adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' seminal graphic novel Watchmen might not be quite as dead as fans had feared.
		Now EW claims that Watchmen producers Lawrence Gordon and Lloyd Levin are in talks with Warner Bros. (the studio that is owned, along with DC Comics, by Time Warner) to take over the project.

	Adam's Weblog: Chain Reaction - Alan Moore
		I kind of knew that this film was coming (there are an awful lot of films based on comics right now), but this was the first time I'd checked out the website.
		Of course Moore probably won't even see the film as he's famously disavowed all involvement in the film industry, and he recounts as much in his Chain Reaction interview (it'll stay on the BBC website until Thursday 3 Feb).
		I hadn't realised until I heard this that Watchmen is 20 years old this year.

	Law Enforcement Encyclopedia Article, Description, History and Biography @ AlienArtifacts.com
		In 1663, London hired watchmen to guard the streets at night, augmenting the force of unpaid constables, as the first paid law enforcement body.
		Small municipalities contract out their law enforcement to the provincial authorities, and all but three provinces in turn contract out their provincial law enforcement responsibilities to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the federal force, which therefore is the only police force to service three distinct levels in the area.
		County sheriffs, county police, state police, and highway patrols enforce laws in their particular jurisdictions and are usually the only police in unincorporated areas beyond the jurisdiction of the cities.

		So, I "settled" for a reservation to the cafe upstairs, which is kinda like "setting" for a Promethea trade when you were hoping to read Watchmen instead.

		The director has flirted heavily with comics in Hollywood, having been attached to a "Batman: Year One" film as well as the feature film version of "Watchmen," but Aronofsky had been working on "The Fountain" for the better part of six years and was focused on bringing that to theaters.
		Tying these three time periods together is Tommy (played in the film by Hugh Jackman)- a warrior, a doctor and an explorer - as he desperately tries to beat death and prolong the life of the woman he loves.
		To begin with, "The Fountain's" story takes place in three distinct time periods - in 1535, during an ancient Mayan war; the present day, following one doctor's desperate search for the cure to a cancer that afflicts someone he loves; and the far off future in the vast reaches of space.
