Click over to IGN Filmforce to read a spoiler review of David Hayter's adaptation of the Alan Moore/Dave Gibbons' comic classic The Watchmen.
The 134-page draft is dated Sept. 26, 2003. The Paramount Pictures film will be directed by Darren Aronofsky (Pi, Requiem for a Dream).
Here's an excerpt: "Like the comic it is based on, Watchmen takes place in an alternate reality where superheroes really do exist ... that is until changing times and legislation turned the public against them. Our protagonists include: the withdrawn, chubby Daniel Drieberg (a.k.a. Nite Owl); the psychotic vigilante Walter Kovacs (a.k.a. Rorschach); second generation superheroine Laurie Jupiter (a.k.a. Slingshot, although she was Silk Spectre II in the comic); the god-like Dr. Manhattan (p.k.a. Jon Osterman); the brilliant, wealthy Adrien Veidt (a.k.a. Ozymandius); and the cynical, blackhearted Comedian (a.k.a. Edward Blake)."
