Moore won't be watching the Watchmen Article by Stafffighter, 05:29 PM 03rd Jan This is from the comic reel This just in: Alan Moore doesn't want anything to do with the film adaptation of his work. However, this time it's the subject of quotes from him at Wizard, where the creator said, "I spoke to [co-creator Dave Gibbons] the other day. I got a piece of paperÑthey mustÕve learned something from the 'V for Vendetta' debacle. I got a piece of paper a couple of months ago saying, 'I, the undersigned, hereby give you permission to take my name off of the film and to send my money to Dave Gibbons.' So I sent that back to them all signed and sealed, which means that now I donÕt have to rant and spew about the film," Moore told Wizard. "IÕm just simply not interested in it. Dave phoned me up, and itÕs always nice to talk to Dave, but he understands that IÕm not really interested in 'Watchmen.' So when he phoned, he asked me if I was interested in being kept up to date on it, and I was saying, 'Well, itÕs always nice to talk to you, but not really.' I donÕt really know much about it. I believe that itÕs going ahead. I wonÕt be watching it, obviously. I can at least remain neutral to it as long as theyÕre taking my name off of it and not playing these silly, ultimately futile games like they were doing last time, which worked out so well for them. No, IÕm keeping well away from all of that." Back to The Endless Crew
