Last week producer Joel Silver talked about Terry Gilliam’s defunct adaptation of Alan Moore’s Watchman and said that director Zack Snyder’s version was “too much of a slave to the material”. Well that didn’t sit well with the director, who alongside his wife and producing partner, Deborah Snyder, talked about Silver’s comments in an interview to The Huffington Post.
"If you read the Gilliam
ending, it's completely insane," Zack said, referring to the ending where
Doctor Manhattan prevents his own making which causes a quite a few changes to
the story.
"The fans would have been
thinking that they were smoking crack," added Deborah Snyder.
"The fans would have stormed
the castle on that one," Zack said. "So, honestly, I made Watchmen
for myself. It's probably my favorite movie that I've made. And I love the
graphic novel and I really love everything about the movie. I love the style. I
just love the movie and it was a labor of love. And I made it because I knew
that the studio would have made the movie anyway and they would have made it
crazy. So, finally I made it to save it from the Terry Gilliams of this
world."
