I take back all my criticisms of this film. Has anyone here read the script Fox wanted to use for the film?
Oh, where to start. The modern day setting kinda misses the point, since its the possibility of all out planetary destruction that sets Ozymandias' plan into motion. To get around this,, Fox changed the entire ending, which involved...er...Ozy going back in time to kill Dr Manhatten. Or something.
Apparently Warner Bros wanted to tread a similar route, especially with the modern day setting, and Snyder told them if they did, he'd walk. Snyder also said he'd only be willing to use the Alan Moore approved script (the one written before Hollywood crushed his soul), though with some minor alterations.
