Website CHUD had een interview met regisseur Paul Greengrass (Bloody Sunday, The Bourne Supremacy) over diens verfilming van The Watchmen, de graphic novel door Alan Moore.

Dit is overigens niet de eerste keer dat Moores werk wordt verfilmd; eerder kwamen From Hell en The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen daarvoor in aanmerking.

[eng]How did you first become aware of the novel, and how did you become involved with this project?

"I was going to say that the interesting thing from my point of view – I got a call in November or December, not that long ago, saying had I heard of Watchmen and was I interested in doing a film. I said are you kidding, of course I had heard of Watchmen. But the interesting thing from my point of view is that I’m not a person steeped in comic book lore. That’s not where I come from. It wasn’t something that – I didn’t sit as a child and read millions and millions of comics."[/eng]
