“Watchmen,” from Warner Bros. Television, is among HBO’s most-anticipated series for next year. Showrunner/exec producer Damon Lindelof, fresh off of his acclaimed HBO drama “The Leftovers,” is shepherding the series that is set in an alternate history where superheroes are treated as outlaws.
Key cast members include Regina King, Jeremy Irons, Don Johnson, Tim Blake Nelson, Louis Gossett Jr., Andrew Howard, Tom Mison and Frances Fisher.
Reznor and Ross are known for their work with director David Fincher. The pair also earned Golden Globe noms for their scores for 2011’s “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” and 2014’s “Gone Girl.” Other recent credits include 2016’s “Patriots Day” and Ken Burns’ PBS documentary “The Vietnam War.”
Nicole Kassell is set to direct the first episode of “Watchmen.” She will exec produce with LIndelof, Tom Spezialy, Stephen Williams and Joseph Iberti.

Oh my god, i need this in my life.

[The_J_Hat]

god damn it, now I’m interested in this show.

[JimboSlim]

Can't trust anything involving Lindelof. His proposition for what this series will be doesn't exactly sound enticing.

[chipsnapper]

Will there be any reference/relation to the David Hayter movie?

[The_J_Hat]

Probably not. The show will take place after the comic series in the present day, focusing on present day world issues as opposed to the Cold War and the apocalypse

[HumanAbyss]

I've hated Lindleof since Lost.

The dude is just a fucking mediocre writer.

[meanwhile]

the most important part is more trent and atticus material

[U-Lander]

I'm more and more intrigued by this project as details emerge.

I have little to no hope but I am definitely going to give it a watch.

[Conely]

hopefully it won't be taking a page from the new Doomsday Clock comics, from what i've read they're astonishingly dumb

[Rusty100]

so it'll have great music and an abysmal script.
that little ditty Lindleof posted on twitter was the most embarrassing thing i've read in a while. dude never got past high school writing

[ramkeham]

I mean, he has all the source content, the multiple already adapted versions to look at, and the other people in the project to stop him fucking it up right?

...Please?

[Clovis]

Obligatory:

This is a man who is GREAT at creating music that really *fits* with the movie it's going for. There are some great soundtracks out there, but many feel as though they could be set to anything, whereas this track definitely evokes the same mood as the film at that moment.

[Ghosevil]

Instantly thought of that soundtrack. I often crave that NiN flavour and these two deliver.
