“I think they agreed Watchmen was unfilmable” Gibbons tells Entertainment Weekly about early talks for the movie, “With Watchmen, Zack made a good movie, a flawed movie certainly, but with some moments of real genius and wonder.” But he feels positive about Damon Lindelof’s version on HBO after reading the script. “I found Damon’s approach to be really refreshing and exciting and unexpected.”
“I don’t think it’s gonna be what people think it’s going to be,” he continued. “It certainly wasn’t what I imagined it to be. I think it’s extremely fresh. I’m really looking forward to seeing it on the screen. I’ve been resistant to the comic book prequels and sequels, but what Damon’s doing is not that at all, it’s very far away from that. While it’s very reverential and true to the source material (by which I mean the Watchmen graphic novel that Alan and I did), it’s not retreading the same ground, it’s not a reinterpretation of it. It approaches it in a completely unexpected way.”
