Today we're exploring how Alan Moore's legendary "Watchmen" comic became a movie. David Hayter, fresh from his X-Men success, took on this challenging adaptation.

Originally pitched as a miniseries, "Watchmen" eventually became a feature film. This shift meant some major changes to the story.

One of the biggest changes fans noticed was the altered ending. While different from the comic, Hayter assures us it was designed to maintain the spirit of the original while working better in film format.

Adapting such a complex story into a movie meant making tough choices. Hayter, as both writer and fan, worked to balance staying true to the source material with the needs of cinema.
