WB watches the "Watchmen"
Warner Bros. has picked up "Watchmen" from Paramount, where the project was in turnaround.
Pic based on the classic 1985-86 series by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons has been passed around Hollywood like a hot potato in recent years. Par had planned a summer shoot for the pic, which was to be directed by Paul Greengrass of "The Bourne Supremacy" until budget concerns prompted the studio to abort the project.
Before Par, the pic had been at Universal, where "X-Men" scribe David Hayter had written a script and was eyeing directing the picture. Hayter's script was a solid adaptation of the massive, sprawling story, but WB is looking for a new writer and director for the project.
Producers Larry Gordon and Lloyd Levin are still attached to the project. The pair has produced a number of good comics adaptations, including "The Rocketeer," "Mystery Men," "Hellboy" and the upcoming "Hellboy 2."
