It has been 32 years since Alan Moore's groundbreaking graphic novel about a Squid sight seeing in New York , The Watchmen (created by Moore, artist Dave Gibbons and colorist John Higgins), was first printed and Dr Manhattan changed the very fabric of comic making as we knew it at the time. Collecting a 12 issue mini series and publishing them all together in one massive tome? Unheard of!  Now, HBO is producing a pilot to air this September.

Few facts about the show's production or story itself, have surfaced as of yet but  The Hollywood Reporter has just dropped this tid bit. Show runner Damon Lindelof has recently brought  Nicole Kassell on board to direct the first episode of this highly anticipated HBO series. Kassell has previously worked together with Lindelof, and  will also be an executive producer on Watchmen.
