'Watchmen': HBO orders for its very own superhero series based on Alan Moore's comic book
HBO has officially confirmed a full series, following the pilot stage, of Damon Lindelof's 'Watchmen,' which is based on the DC graphic novel by Alan Moore. The series which is set to debut in 2019 will look into the alternate history of some of the well-known superheroes where they are chiefly considered as outlaws.
Coming from the screenwriter of 'Lost' and 'The Leftovers,' the new series, as HBO states, will embrace "the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel while attempting to break new ground of its own."
The cast, as massive as it can be, includes, Regina King, Jeremy Irons, Don Johnson, Tim Blake Nelson, Louis Gossett Jr., Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Adelaide Clemens, Andrew Howard, Tom Mison, Frances Fisher, Jacob Ming-Trent, Sara Vickers, Dylan Schombing, Lily Rose Smith, and Adelynn Spoon.
