The acclaimed comics and TV writer previously scripted a number of Before Watchmen comics.
Fan-favorite comics and TV writer J. Michael Straczynski will provide the screenplay for Warner Bros. Animation 's forthcoming adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' seminal comic book Watchmen . The two-part, animated movie aims to be the most direct adaptation to date .
"I can now talk about it as the news is breaking. I adapted Watchmen for Warners animation," Straczynski said on social media."By 'adapted' I mean strictly configuring the structure to work in a movie. I saw no need to write more material or change what works in the book. It's pure Moore." "I think that Alan loses the moral high ground when you look at the last ten, fifteen years of his career, and he's working with other people's characters--in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Lost Girls, on and on--almost creating slash fan fiction," Straczynski told me in 2012."That's kind of the cowardly way to look at it. At least we're doing this while Alan is still alive and he can have a voice.
