In case you didn't know, David Hayter does more than sound like a badass for a living (But who'd want to do more than that?) He is also a screenwriter who has had some hit and misses. Probably his most famous screenplay was X-Men 1. But I was looking on IMDB and I saw him credited for co-writing the screenplay for the Watchmen movie. That's a big wow from me (and I'm sure a big "fuck you" from lovers of the GN and haters of the movie). But regardless, this is a pretty big surprise to me. Well done, Mr. Hayter. Well done.

You didn't know that?

Also, David Hayter also acted in some films. He was the star of a film called Guyver 2.

He seemed like a smart fellow in various interviews I've seen so, yay for keeping it up.

Yeah, YEARS ago...

I've seen a little bit of Guyver 2 and he seems like a okay actor. Maybe ha could betray Solid Snake in that live-action movie.=S

Solid Snake is one deep motherfucker.

Man, so what would people think if they knew that he was originally attached to direct the movie after Terry Gilliam stopped wanting to make it?

"Man, so what would people think if they knew that he was originally attached to direct the movie after Terry Gilliam stopped wanting to make it?"

Okay so I had no idea that he was even involved with this movie until now. How much of Hayter's original version actually made it to being filmed before somebody else came around and worked on it? Or did Hayter do just that and worked on somebody's previous screenplay? STOP CONFUSIN ME JAKOB!

Wow nice. He's really talented, and the Watchmen made a great transition to film. 

Woah, that's pretty cool.

It's not that impressive...it's not like they strayed too far from the source material.

Thats why it is impressive. Because the movie remains true to the book. Its easy to stray from original sources, its hard to translate it into film. Most books fail to have good screen adaptations. Watchmen is one of the best i've seen. "

No...he essentially took the book, copy and pasted, and then said, "Here you go, here's your screenplay.""

Note that David Hayter's screenplay as he wrote it is not what was used for the final movie.  Hayter had modernized the setting in an attempt to make the movie more contemporary.  Alex Tse was brought into built on the drafts Hayter wrote and create a script that returned the movie to its original Cold War setting.  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hayter)

Screenplay!?

Yeah I did know that he wrote the script, he originally tried to modernize the story, glad they didn't do that.

I'm more weirded out that the kid from Bad News Bears and Breaking Away is Rorschach!

*knows this now and still hated watchman*

"Yeah, YEARS ago...

Watch what happens.  Now that people find out the voice of Solid Snake wrote the screenplay, EVERYONE is going to fucking love it that hated it before.

"

That video was sick.

I enjoyed the movie a lot before i knew that. Now that I know that... I still enjoy the movie.
