Is There Going To Be A Watchmen 2? Um, Probably Not

When Watchmen is released next month, it'll be like Christmas come early for about 17 or so lonely spods.

But after Christmas always comes Boxing Day. That's the day when you're forced to eat leftovers and play with the toys you're already bored with. And for Watchmen fans, Boxing Day might just come in the form of Watchmen 2 - the Watchmen sequel that's been made up exclusively out the mind of a Hollywood executive who hasn't read the comic books or seen the film and thinks the whole thing is about a band of part-clock mutants.

Or not, according to Zack Synder.

Watchmen Won’t be Watched by Men, if Fox Get Their Way Everybody seems to be getting in on the comic book-to-movie adaptation thing, with easily one of the most anticipated being that of Watchmen. While normally this would be greeted with trepidation and a slight amount of fear, the sheer quality of the source material, combined with the fact that the film is supposed to actually be, y'know - good - has people sweating around the groin, awaiting next year's release. That is, unless Fox have their way and ban the film from ever coming out. Oh, we're not kidding here - that's what they're trying to do in the latest of legal battles that shows just how the company is actually forged from Satan's testicles themselves. There's evil, then there's Fox evil.
