| Zack Snyder Director | previously directed 300 |
Based on Alan Moore's graphic novel, Watchmen is set in an alternate 1985, where superheroes have now become outlaws in America, but it is only them that can stop a nuclear war between the US and the Soviet Union from destroying the world.
Director Zack Snyder insisted on everybody involved in the making of the movie reading the graphic novel at least once, even going so far as to constantly carry a copy around with his script and use it as a storyboard.
