Adrian Veidt demands an explanation for this bullshit

[vostoklake]

Warner Bros made the actors in Watchmen sign a contract requiring them to come back for a sequel.

Great Silhouette's Ghost, I'm relieved that Snyder seems to have a good attitude on this, because this is exactly the kind of shenanigans which have led to Alan Moore's justified fear and hatred of Hollywood. A sequel to Watchmen? If such a thing were possible, what would it ever look like? A romantic comedy about "Sam and Sandra Hollis" settling down to raise superbrats while Veidt gets elected president of Earth?

Actually I was talking to my partner about it last night and he had a good point (we've still not seen the film though) - it ends with the right-wing newspaper guys getting Rorschach's diary (which was posted off to them before the final showdown) so in theory you could build a sequel from that. Because of the diary they could in fact have succeeded in stopping Veidt from "saving the world". There is room for what happens when that is found or even for a story in a story prequel based on that.

Opps - that was me (speaking of partners I managed to post as him!)
