…but good luck to Zach Snyder (director of the surprisingly effective 2004 remake of “Dawn of the Dead”), who’s set to be the latest sacrificial lamb to be slaughtered on the altar of “Watchmen.”

Snyder has been attached to direct the film adaptation of Alan Moore’s graphic novel about the dark side of superheroes. But, then again, so were Terry Gilliam, Darren Aronofsky, and Paul Greengrass at various times over the last decade or more, and they all bailed out. So let’s not anyone hold their breath until something…ANYTHING…actually gets filmed.
