It seems hard to believe after the epic struggle to get it to the big screen, but it’s only a matter of weeks before we can all go and see Watchmen at the cinema.
We, like you, can’t bloody wait. But there’s one man who definitely won’t be seeing it, not now, not ever.
totalfilm.com sat down with Alan Moore to find out why he hates the film industry so much.
As you might expect, he doesn't hold back. So if you’re easily offended, look away now...
1. Comics don’t work as films.
“The main reason why comics can’t work as films is largely because everybody who is ultimately in control of the film industry is an accountant.
These people may be able to add up and balance the books, but in every other area they are stupid and incompetent and don’t have any talent.
And this is why a film is going to be a work that’s done by dozens and dozens and dozens, if not hundreds of people.
They’re going to show it to the backers and then they’re going to say, we want this in it, and this in it... and where’s the monster?”
