A little over a week ago I posted some of my exclusive video interview with “Watchmen” screenwriters Alex Tse and David Hayter. Here’s a link to where Alex Tse talks about “Illustrated Man” and “Frankie Machine”, and here’s a link to where David Hayter talks about his possible involvement in a “Metal Gear Solid” movie and how he’s currently writing the “Lost Planet” movie based on the video game.

But let’s get to the reason you’re here….the rest of the interview!

Below is my extended interview with the two people that wrote Zack Snyder’s “Watchmen movie - Alex Tse and David Hayter.

As you watch the interview you’ll hear both of them talk about their individual involvement and how they're both huge fans of the source material. In fact, both tell great stories about what it means for them to be working on "Watchmen".

But my favorite part of the interview was hearing David Hayter relay his experiences of talking with the elusive Alan Moore about writing the “Watchmen” movie and hearing what Alan told him.

If you’re curious how “Watchmen” came to the screen, or even if you’re just an aspiring screenwriter, I think you’ll really enjoy this interview.

Finally, below the second part are links to all our other “Watchmen” coverage.
