It looks like the WATCHMEN movie may be kicking into gear finally. 300 helmer
Zack Snyder is at the helm of the Alan Moore comic book adaptation, and he's been
out and about promoting his new movie in the US.
Speaking to FirstShowing.net,
Snyder revealed that he is setting the WATCHMEN movie in 1985. Here's more: 
"There
has been a push on I think everybody's… on the other scripts that exist about
trying to update the movie or make it take place in present day, or things of
that nature. I think that by setting the movie in ‘85, by having the Cold War,
having Nixon, having all that stuff you reinvigorate what the story is about.
It allows all the metaphors…" He said.
"I think what Alan
Moore has, in his book, the comic he's made about authority and government and
all those things, they're big themes. Maybe if you make that movie right, [then]
what that has to say makes people think about what's happening maybe now or in
their own lives. That's my hope for what the movie can be."
