Leah Moore (Alan's daughter) interview, mentions the movie

Everyone knows your dad's take on the Watchmen movie, so I won't get into that, but what's Leah Moore's opinion on it? Have you seen any of the trailers or even spoke to Dave Gibbons about it? Do you think you're going to go see it when it comes out?

I saw the trailer on YouTube and it looks visually impressive, very close to Dave’s artwork. I saw it in the cinema the other day and it was really weird to see all that stuff up on the big screen. It feels like Watchmen was a part of my childhood, and now it’s up there really bright and loud and everyone can see it suddenly. Imagine someone suddenly doing a feature film about the random objects in your parent’s living room from when you were small, and you get close to how surreal it is.

I will go and see it certainly, out of curiosity and to see if it was done as well as everyone hopes, or as badly as everyone fears.

I suspect it will end up mysteriously in the middle of the two like V for Vendetta. V was very like Dave Lloyd’s drawings and was very thrilling to watch, but left me feeling all weird, like they’d switched the most vital thing in the book with something else, and hoped no-one would notice.

I hope that the political background in Watchmen is kept a 1980’s one as it was in the book. Putting contemporary politics into films of period books dates the film far worse than the original book ever could be.

So this site has been lucky enough to interview Dave Gibbons, we have an upcoming interview with John Higgins, and now we've interviewed you as well. What do you think the chances your dad would give us an interview one day? We'll even promise not to mention the Watchmen movie — we swear! Would you put in a good word for us?

Are you high? He will probably disown me for even doing an interview with a Web site about the film of the book. Next you’ll be asking me if he’s going to write Watchmen 2!

Haha, atleast she's more easy going about it. I'm glad to see that someone that is close to the comic (aside from Dave) is embracing it (to a degree).

I want to see Alan Moore Smax on the big screen and I want it directed by Guillermo Del Toro.

 

[NoTsOsErIoUs]

I saw her at a comics convention just last month. She is very sweet. And thankfully not as tall as her dad.

She is a comics writer in her own right. And if you haven't read Albion I would highly recommend it.
