Paul Greengrass Talks The Watchmen

As much as I enjoyed The Bourne Supremacy I never really understood why its director had been tapped as a replacement for Darren Aronofsky to shoot The Watchmen. Until now. CHUD has just run the first part of a lengthy interview with the man and as soon as he starts on about the politics of paranoia his selection starts to make an enormous amount of sense ... Greengrass certainly isn't a typical comic book film director but then The Watchmen is far from a typical comic book and listening to him talk about the process has given me a renewed sense of hope for the film. At the very least I'm now quite confident that he won't be dumbing it down at all ...
