Alan Moore: Isn’t There A Better Way To Spend The $100 Million It Cost To Make ‘Watchmen’?

“$100 million dollars – that’s what they spent on the ‘Watchmen’ film which nearly didn’t come out because of the lawsuit, that’s what they spent on ‘The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen’ which shouldn’t have come out but did anyway.

Do we need any more shitty films in this world? We have quite enough already. Whereas the 100 million dollars could sort out the civil unrest in Haiti. And the books are always superior, anyway.” The always convivial “Watchmen” creator/writer Alan Moore suggests world peace is only one rejected blockbuster idea away. [TotalFilm]
