Patrick Wilson is wanting again at Watchmen and praising director Zack Snyder for being “forward of the curve,” which he says finally led the best way for movies like The Avengers.
“Watchmen is the one film of mine that I’ve watched entrance to again since a premiere — that film is superior,” Wilson stated in an interview with ReelBlend.
Wilson joked that he wished to share the movie along with his son “to quick ahead by the scene with Malin Akerman within the ship.”
“I simply wished to take a look at it as an older man, as a filmmaker. I knew Zack was forward of the curve,” he added. “It’s bizarre to say that audiences weren’t prepared for it. However you want a film like that. You want motion pictures to go so darkish that then Avengers can go so mild. I do imagine in that.”
Wilson says that he would “love to do this film now” and would “be so superior” to get again into the Watchmen world.
Watchmen was a 2009 superhero movie based mostly on DC Comics characters starring Malin Åkerman, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Carla Gugino, Jackie Earle Haley, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Wilson as Nite Owl II. Snyder directed the movie from a screenplay by David Hayer and Alex Tse.
Watchmen would return in 2019 as a restricted collection for HBO by Damon Lindelof. The nine-episode collection starred Regina King, Don Johnson, Tim Blake Nelson, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Andrew Howard, Jacob Ming-Trent, Tom Mison, Sara Vickers, Dylan Schombing, Louis Gossett Jr., Jeremy Irons, Jean Sensible and Hong Chau.
Nite Owl, the character Wilson performed within the 2009 movie, was not included within the TV collection adaptation.
