The producer of HBO's new drama "Watchmen" quarrels with Alan Moore: F**K you, I want to shoot it anyway

Alan Moore, the original author of "Watchmen", said he was not interested in HBO's latest adaptation of "Watchmen", but the producer of the show, Damon Lindelof, responded, "F**k you, I'm going to shoot it anyway." Lindelof did not want to start a war with Alan Moore, but he revealed that Alan Moore wanted to keep his distance from the "Watchmen" adaptation, like "an ongoing wrestling match."

"I don't think we've reconciled," Lindelof said. "In my opinion, Alan Moore is a genius, the greatest writer in comics, perhaps the greatest writer of all time. He made it clear that he didn't want anything to do with this Watchmen series, and we respect that and won't use his name to attract people to watch it."

Lindelof joked that his relationship with Alan Moore is like his own father, and Moore is like his surrogate father, and he needs to constantly prove himself to Moore. Lindelof said that Moore has a rebellious spirit similar to punk rock. "If you tell Moore, who was still a teenager in 1985 or 1986: 'You can't do this because the creators of Superman or Swamp Thing don't want you to do it.' He would say: 'Fuck you, I'm going to do it anyway.' So I told him with the spirit of Alan Moore, 'F*** you, I'm going to do it anyway.'"

However, Lindelof assured that he is also a fan of the original work and that the original material will not be tampered with or rewritten in the HBO series, which will premiere in October this year.
